Michelle Obama has made her strongest political intervention since leaving the White House, stating bluntly at a health conference: “Think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.”
One of the former first lady’s signature legacies was an effort to reduce childhood obesity. Earlier this month, Donald Trump’s administration froze regulations that would cut sodium and increase whole grains served in school meals.

The 53-year-old demanded: “And why is that a partisan issue? Why would that be political? What is going on? You know, now that’s up to moms. Moms, think about this. I don’t care what state you live in. Take me out of the equation. Like me, don’t like me, but think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap. Why would you celebrate that? Why would you sit idly and be OK with that?
“Because here’s the secret: if somebody is doing that, they don’t care about your kid, and we need to demand everyone to care deeply about kids. That’s all we have. So we should be driving this and every elected official on this planet should understand: don’t play with our children. Don’t do it.”

Evidently riled, Obama continued: “‘You shouldn’t know what you’re eating.’ Think about that. Stop there, think about that. ‘You shouldn’t know what you’re eating.’ You’re OK with that? Do you know people who are OK with that? I mean, I just find myself thinking, this isn’t my fight, you know, this is where you’ve got to look yourself in the eye.
“We need to look our neighbours in the eye and kind of go: ‘What is going on?’ Because this just isn’t that complicated, you know. Just tell me what’s in my food. Why is that a problem?

What is the closest thing to being in Hell? Answer: Being married to Michelle Robinson Obama.
It’s ridiculous. Last year we couldn’t plant our tomato transplants until July. It’s been so cold here in Massachusetts the last few years.
Her initial “crop” happened way too fast from her “planting” and was a photo op for sweet potatoes. The NC Sweet Potato Board pointed this out— at least members of them. Someone snuck in at night and put fully developed plants with tubers into the garden amongst the others. Total utter BS, just like her horrific school food program the kids knew they were screwed.
Put a razor wire fence through the middle of the lunchroom. P&J sandwiches on white bread sack lunches, pop tarts, pepperoni pizza and nuggets on one side and soon to be trashed lunches on the other.
I knew a vegetarian who would get the pepperoni pizza and throw the pepperonis in the school trash. Oh, the poor widdle animals! Uh, excuse me? What about all the poor pigs she tossed in the garbage? Not to mention all that piggy grease all over her pizza.
I started reading this to see FReeper responses. So far, you’re off to a great start!
Back in the day, we got those little containers of ice cream with wooden spoons. They were either chocolate or strawberry swirl. But then we also had recess.
“The Chick-fil-A cows would be a nice gesture.
Interesting idea. The Obamanoids would be torn: they hate Chick-fil-A, but on the other hand the cows would remind them of Moochelle.
Most likey, what comes out of a cow would remind them.
That looks like the lunches kids around here get, except without the bun.
“Gutting” her legacy. I get it! She must be cleverer than I thought.
The word, “bikini”, along with visuals of Hillary and Michelle is just wrong.
There are remote islands in the Aleutians where they could spend some quality time.
it was awesome.
Stuff on that top tray looks like diarrhea with corn in it.

Too funny! I was ok with having that garden stay before this (not that my opinion on it matters to anyone), but now I hope he tears up that garden and installs something over it that will set off the Obamas and pals raging.
Maybe we need a FReeper contest for best idea to replace the area of the Obama veggie garden at the White House. Something all-American that libtards will not like, heh heh. Then there could be a national fundraising campaign (”GoFundMe”) for the winning idea, so that it can’t be said that taxpayers had to pay to replace the garden.
How about a “sculpture garden” of patriotic sculptures, so that the Trump WH would showcase some of the best pro-military and pro-America sculptures. Win/win situation, replace Moochelle’s garden with something All-American, and when the press and Democrats start whining, say “look, we are promoting the arts, who is against patriotic sculpture???”
Just for some examples, what about a national campaign to raise funds for patriotic pro-America sculptures that could be displayed at the White House (replacing the Obama veggie garden) during the Trump presidency, with a pledge to auction them off for veterans’ charities at the end of Trump’s presidency. Feature pro-American artists and make the libtards go crazy since they would be favoring anti-America pro-criminal types of artists. See examples of patriotic art here:

(I don’t know anything about this site or sources of their works, I merely Googled for some examples of patriotic sculptures)
Libtards try to make us all “eat crap” every day — it’s called liberal ideas.
