First Nanny Michelle Obama isn’t happy just preaching to us about what we should eat. She also wants to change what your grocery store stocks on its shelves if her husband is elected to a second term.
Asked by Parade magazine, “What do you hope to accomplish in your second term?” First Lady Michelle Obama said she wants to “impact the nature of food in grocery stores” with the aim of cutting sugar, fat and salt.
“With ‘Lets Move!,’ our goal is to end the problem of childhood obesity in a generation,” Mrs. Obama said. “And while we’ve seen some very profound cultural shifts, we still have communities that don’t have access to affordable and healthy foods. We still need to find a way to impact the nature of food in grocery stores, in terms of sugar, fat, and salt.”
Mrs. Obama also discussed the challenge of “educating families” on healthy lifestyles in a society where “TV is rampant.” (Read More)
So long Cheetos! See ya later Twinkies!
Update: Lady Liberty linked – thanks!


This woman has a 66% approval rating, according to most polls. Sheesh, I don’t get it. She’s rude, loud, angry, hates the job, takes advantage of taxpayers largesse by traveling on our nickel and now she wants to take away my Twinkies? MO has no understanding of how some cultures and regions of the US eat. Tell a southern cook to take away the lard she uses to make peach pie crusts and she’ll have your head.

This represents the problem with the entire Obama machine; they despise personal freedom and desire to control things such as the air, water, health, and the economy.
This backward way of governing has destroyed the economy and the work force, because there is not freedom of choice and businesses are being destroyed!
Michelle obviously would like to see a food tax implemented against the rich, so poor people can buy more stuff!
The Nanny State seeks four more years!
Let’s give them the boot!

Just tie the Food Stamp allocation to the sugar/starch content. Let the food stamp card have built in discounts for fresh fruit and vegetables, and not pay for more than a certain amount of starch. With today’s powerful database technology it would be a snap. Ration the bad stuff to the people who, in general, at least in my geographic locale, don’t know how to balance a diet.
