""This is a breakthrough moment in the restaurant industry. I believe the changes that Darden will make could impact the health and well-being of an entire generation of young people," added Mrs. Obama, who is leading an effort to reduce U.S. childhood obesity rates."
Sorry but this is too much Michelle! Too much federal government! Too many First Lady travels and expenses for a country running a $1.5 trillion deficit in this fiscal year!
First, it's true that we have a child obesity problem. It is the direct consequence of having too many kids in front of TVs and chatting on computers.
We don't need Michelle Obama telling restaurants to cut back on french fries. Instead, we need parents to shut off the TV, disconnect their computers and tell their children to go and move their butts!
My wife and I went through this a few years ago. We kept our kids busy with sports. They were not allowed to walk home, dump their bodies on the sofa and eat chips all afternoon!
Responsible parenting works every time!
Second, what business is this of the federal government anyway? Don't we have local school districts? State governments? City councils?
Why does the Obama administration think that they have to stick their noses in every aspect of our lives, from telling our kids what to eat to having the EPA torture manufacturers in Texas?
I will give Mrs MO credit for good intentions.
However, here is my advice to First Lady MO: Watch what your husband and kids eat.
We will do the same and run our own affairs!
