'What is wrong with you?' Michelle Obama savages Trump's gutting of her legacy
The Guardian via MSN.com ^ | 5/12/2017 | David Smith

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.

-- snip --

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.”

-- snip --

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?

Legacy? What Legacy. Who the Hell voted for this worthless grifter? Her legacy should be spending millions of taxpayer dollars on vacations for her and her entourage.

To answer the Wookiee’s question, we like our Freedom to choose what we eat. It is the responsibility of the parent, not the school or government to determine if their child should not eat certain foods.

now that’s up to moms.

It should be up to moms and dads, not the feds. Take it up with your school board - or pack their lunches.

I stopped at the word “demanded”.
Of course I should have stopped at the name, Michelle Obama.

Don't care if it's photoshopped and they didn't appear together, the message is still true.

“Like me, don’t like me, but think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.”

Well you got to dictate that kids have to eat crap or nothing. That is why we aren’t ok with it. This aint north korea sweaty.
