Thursday, September 15 11:45 AM - First Lady Michelle Obama will make a major Let's Move! announcement related to providing healthier choices and greater variety for families in restaurants - a critical piece of ending the epidemic of childhood obesity in a generation. One of every two dollars spent on food is spent in restaurants, and over one-third of calories consumed in America are eaten at restaurants.

This event will be held in Hyattsville, MD and space is limited.

We must remember that liberals need additional instructions.

The Obama creed: “Never let the private sector make economic decisions. The government knows best.”

Absolutely typical liberalism, actually encouraging people to get less for their money.
Did she ever hear of a doggie bag? Or sharing a meal?

This woman is the height of hypocrisy! Hey Michelle take your own advice you too are obese. Has anyone had the unfortunate experience of seeing this woman from behind? She should be the last person telling anyone what to eat.

Look for restaurants to reduce their portion sizes but not their prices. I’ve no doubt a lot of corporate toadies are looking at this as a gift from Moochelle as a handy way to buck up their food cost.

Positively the most stupid human being to ever occupy the White House. And that includes the servants.

Michelle Obama prodding restaurants to reduce portion size Ummmm .... Michele, those "Doggie Bags" aren't really for the dog.
Mind your own business and mind your own children and we will mind ourselves.

Less freedom = less liberty = less choice, less choice = less chance we imbeciles can screw up.
Typical liberal mindset.

Reduce your size first, Michelda Marcos, then we’ll talk. Actually, just reduce your size.
