For Michelle Obama, Donuts Equal Terrorism
So, Michelle Obama seems to be as delusional as her husband. Yesterday, she said that childhood obesity (a Crisis!) is a threat to national security. No, really. She actually said that:
(CNSNews.com) – At a ceremony at the White House on Tuesday, First Lady Michelle Obama announced the launch of the ‘Let’s Move’ campaign to end childhood obesity in the United States, an epidemic she said is costly and a threat to national security.
“A recent study put the health care cost of obesity-related diseases at $147 billion a year,” Mrs. Obama said. “This epidemic also impacts the nation’s security, as obesity is now one of the most common disqualifiers for military service.”
Fat kids are a threat to national security? I don’t think she’s really being fair; her husband is not fat. I suppose now instead of man-made disasters, terrorism will be called donut-made disasters? I just gave my kid fried chicken nuggets for lunch. Shall I now refer to her as NSR (national security risk)? Shall I make her new punishment “You go to bed with evil, security risky dessert!!”
Besides the stupidity of the “national security” premise, the entire initiative is ridiculous and a waste of OUR money. She goes on to say that we dum-dum parents can’t figure out what food is healthy or not, without the aid of Big Nanny Government. Hey, Michelle? Your husband is Big Nanny Government and he still doesn’t realize that smoking is bad for you (which, by the way, is the one thing that I like about him.)
“So many parents desperately want to do the right thing, but they feel like the deck is stacked against them,” Obama said. “They know their kids’ health is their responsibility but they feel like it’s out of their control.”
“They are bombarded by contradictory information at every turn, and they don’t know who to believe,” she said
Um, not really. It’s kind of simple. I don’t know one person who believes that fatty food will make them lose weight and I live in the South where, according to all the Smarter Than Us people, we barely know how to read. Even we understand that calories = fat and that exercise will burn calories. But, you see, we have free will as human beings, even if you consider us sub-human.
Perhaps if your husband does something about JOBS, people will have more money to stock up on better food. If they so choose. And maybe if our schools allow kids to have recess and play dodge ball and, you know, be kids, they would get a bit more exercise. The rest of it is up to parents. Contrary to your belief, parents are responsible for their own children. Stop perpetuating the entitlement mentality; that is what is making our jobs harder, as parents. We don’t need your help, we need you to get out of the way.
And so we come to the real reason behind this initiative:
Obama called for overhauling many federal laws and guidelines, including adding $10 billion over the next decade to “update” the Childhood Nutrition Act, which feeds 31 million children at school and would add funding to feed more children.
Aha! More money funneled into a government program. As Michelle Malkin reports:
What’s in it for Big Labor? SEIU Executive Vice President Mitch Ackerman explains: “A more robust expansion of school lunch, breakfast, summer feeding, child care and WIC [the federal Women, Infants, and Children nutrition program] is critical to reducing hunger, ending childhood obesity, and providing fair wages and healthcare for front line food service workers (emphasis added).” There are 400,000 workers who prepare and serve lunch to American schoolchildren. SEIU represents tens of thousands of those workers and is trying to unionize many more. “More robust expansion” of the federal school lunch law means a mandate for higher wages, increased benefits, and government-guaranteed health insurance coverage (the more luxurious the better now that SEIU has negotiated its Cadillac Tax exemption from the Democrats’ health care takeover bill).
For the Children? Nope, of course not. It never is about the children, really, for Liberals. It’s for the unions and SEIU. It’s ironic that SEIU is involved; how can they help the Obesity Crisis ™ when they are so gluttonous that they eat human fingers?

The "delusional" Soetoro's!
She ought to know; she certainly appears to eat enough donuts.
What are you, a size 0? Your comment is immature.
It figures! It all comes down to SEIU. I heard a lunch lady, here in the Los Angeles school system, call into a radio show livid about expanding lunch and breakfast programs. She said he watches these kids throw away food (whole containers of milk, entire apples, etc) every single meal. We have a really high percentage of kids on the meal programs here in Los Angeles.
We also have a really pathetic graduation rate in high schools, but that didn't stop some of our poorest and worst schools from competing in a cell phone text messaging contest (whatever high school sent more text messages got some goofy prize).
Yeah, I read this in the LA Daily News. It was supposed to be a "fun" human interest story. But what I got from the story was the winner of the text messaging contest was , what I know to be, one of the very poorest and worst schools in LA. I also figured (because I have a brain) that the students must've been spending time text message rather than studying. And, another big conclusion I made, they must've had cell phones (not cheap!) in order to send text messages.
Yet, the school probably has a majority of students on the school meal programs… which are apparently thrown in the trash.
I just love the government! They're so much smarter than I am!
Oops, I meant: She said SHE watches kids throw away food…
Michelle is quoted as saying.."Look at my big bananner."
And????? What are you trying to say?
Really now, who wears black gardening gloves? Huey Newton…Mark Clark?
I agree!! Keep government out of raising my kids!!! Just stay out of our way!! Parents and kids have enough to deal with without government sticking their nose into our lives.
These two residents in the White house are NUTS!!!!!!
I say take all freebies away from these people! The kids who neither want to learn or to succeed, let them starve, they will soon find a way to feed themselves.
When they go to school tell them to sit down, shut up and take notes!!!
If they do not want to learn let them make their own way in life NO MORE HAND OUTS!!
I for one have worked hard all my life, raised 5 boys, had a business that was successful through hard 7 day weeks at times, I am sick of the leeches of this country!!!!
The Obamas need to shut up and do a hard days work for a change.
Stay the heck out of our lives and families!!!!!!
"…take all freebies away from these people!" Who are "these people?" Hope that you are not talking about children. But if you are, then you are suggesting that we take away CHIP/SCHIP, free and appropriate public education, unemployment compensation for their parents (Yes, many of these children have parents who WORK), and take away the extensions on unemployment compensation for their parents who have been left unemployed. These are just a few "freebies."
Think about what you are suggesting: "…let them starve, they will soon find a way to feed themselves." Do you really know what you are suggesting? Think about it! Just what would you do if you were starving?
You say, "Stay the heck out of our lives and families!!!!!!!" Yet you want to get in the lives of other people's children by telling schools to say to students, "…sit down, shut up and take notes!!!" You can't have it both ways.
By the way, NO ONE is telling you what to do with your life or family. Whatever the initiative, you have the choice of ignoring! So, ignore this one and all others with which you take issue.
Sorry, Lori, it really is for the children, for the hundreds of thousands who suffer from Type II Diabetes, which we recently children were immune to. I'm really sorry to hear you don't care about Americans' health. Unbelievable really.
It's pretty sad that people think they have a genuine choice over what to eat. The food industry in the States has the public so under it's thumb it's ridiculous. You NEED a bit of big government to slow those guys down. With the tiny government some of you guys are asking for, those food companies are going to turn you and your kids into whales.
Isn’t it something, we spend more money from the tax payers, and keep giving it to the school systems so kids could have breakfast lunch, almost dinner, while the people they are giving the benefits for, are getting Food stamps which is suppose to be for their kids breakfast, and lunch and dinner. No they are double dipping. They get Food Stamps, and they buy other things with them. Not all that are on Food Stamps but more then not. Then when school is out for the summer, we still feed the same children. I got an idea. If your children receive free breakfast and lunch, the parents should pay for it out of their Food Stamps. Their choice. Not Both
You are so very WRONG! NOT EVERY student who receives a school breakfast and/or lunch are necessarily from a family who receives food stamps. There is a formula used to determine WHICH SCHOOLS, NOT INDIVIDUALS, are eligible to participate in the free breakfast and lunch programs.
she is pushing to improve public health and parental responsibility. that's what a first lady is supposed to do. a nation of fat kids is embarrassing.
Another day, another government scam. And yes busbus works for obama!
this is an idiotic article. obesity crushes the u.s. health care system, and yes, a lot of fat fuck parents need to learn how to curb the diets of theirs and their fat fuck kids.
do you have a problem with this, too? "Mrs. Obama highlighted the presidential budget proposal for $400 million in financing to develop supermarkets and farmers' markets in neighborhoods that currently lack a walkable healthy food option."
Great ideal First lady. You have my support!
