'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?

That’s his choice. I’d go with super thin whole wheat most of the time since I hate to waste. But hey. It’s his best adaptation he knows.

I believe some school districts have an issue with packed lunches. They get inspected and rejected if they don’t meet the “benevolent government guidelines.” What is ironic is that the libs are perfectly fine with garbage for the mind and tell people to just turn off the tv or CD or whatever, but they can’t have their little ones smelling peanutbutter and jelly sandwich or seeing a friend eat a twinkie because that just isn’t moral.

That’s the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen. She did that on purpose. With Melania as FLOTUS, we won’t be humiliated again.

Typical Marxist tactic. When your ideas suck, pretend to take yourself out of the equation and preach to some mythical "greater good." Yeah, it's not Michelle's fault that she shoved her fake nutrition agenda down America children's throats, it's you rubes, you know-nothings, that damn Trump, who don't know what's best for the masses.

This reminds me of the recent pic of the terrorist jailed in Israel who tells his followers to go on hunger strikes and this bastard takes his food and eats it on the john....hypocritical filth! By the looks of Mooch, she doesn’t practice what she preaches.

Starving the kids is not the answer. You have to get them moving.

Childhood obesity is more linked to emotional deprivation, than to diet.

Children are dumped in daycare or "Head Start" at far too early an age. From birth to at least 5 years old, kids need to be home with their mothers, at least most of the time, to be emotionally well grounded.

If they don't have a firm bonding and grounding in their own families, children tend toward pathological behavior such as overeating.

At my wife’s school, the kindergarteners are so hungry on Moochelle’s diet that they tear their very few chicken nuggets in half so they can have “more”.

I can’t understand what she is saying. It’s incoherent.
Was she always this inarticulate?
