She has been lecturing us on how terrible we Americans are. It was at the crux of her unreadable, half literate thesis and now she is inserting her small mined ideas into the small private morsels left to us.
From the fake White House Vegetable Garden with nursery grown plants trucked in, to the veggies 'planted' by her staffers just before her press conference. It displayed her crop that was hand picked from the garden rows picked in the likes of "Whole Foods" Stores.
So we get a faux Martha Stewart (maybe not so faux) moment shoved up our nose as a phony photo op to harangue us for something more that is wrong with America, our kid's fat assess.
Next, Michelle Obama's health reform plan for the nation's restaurant menus and families dining out | Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles TimesSome article highlights:
Michelle Obama, who has been unable to convince the Smoker-in-Chief to give up that dreadful habit, now has some health suggestions for other American families and for restaurant menus across the country. The goal is to eat healthier, although that might hurt restaurant sales and cause disappointed children.
Her "new" big ideas include:
One idea Mrs. Obama had is to serve apple slices as the default side dish with, say, hamburgers, instead of French fries, which she confessed to liking.
Also she'd like less butter and cream in restaurant dinners, not enough to....
Her other suggestions: Substitute whole wheat pasta for white. Smaller portions (presumably for smaller prices). Less mac and cheese, chicken fingers and cheeseburgers on kids' menus. More carrots.
Mrs. Obama expressed concern that Americans are now spending more money on food purchased and/or eaten outside the home, which many in her audience of restaurant business owners likely think is a pretty good thing.
She said it's also important to change these national eating habits because they end up costing billions in additional healthcare [read Obamacare] costs.
The photo-essay of the fast-food eating President that follows in the link that is perfect counterpoint to the hypocritical remarks Michelle Obama made to the National Restaurant Assoc.
