You would have to be living under a rock to have missed Michelle Obama's war on what foods we consume. Rush in his radio show has called out MO for being a hypocrite on this front...

politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...

Washington (CNN) — Michelle Obama is taking heat from talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh after a report in the Vail Daily that she consumed a not-so-healthy-meal of ribs for dinner while on a recent visit to the Colorado resort, the latest example of conservative angst directed at the first lady’s healthy-eating initiative.

“The problem is, and dare I say this, it doesn’t look like Michelle Obama follows her own nutritionary, dietary advice,” Limbaugh said Monday on his radio program. “And then we hear that she’s out eating ribs at 1,500 calories a serving with 141 grams of fat per serving.”

“She is a hypocrite,” Limbaugh continued. “Leaders are supposed to be leaders. If we are supposed to go out and eat nothing, if we are supposed to eat roots, berries, and tree bark, show us how.”


I suppose the question would then be is he...
Calling it as he sees it?
Telling it like it really is?
Or just stirring the pot status quo?

Not everyone has to be skinny enough to hang glide on a dorito. And Rush was not so stick thin the last time I saw him. Granted, he is not on a "Nutrition Mission" either. Maybe that makes a difference?

Michelle is to food, what Nancy Reagan was to drugs obviously. She quite openly feels that the general public needs help making important meal choices.

From limiting school bake sales...

news.yahoo.com...

Don't touch my brownies! A child nutrition bill on its way to President Barack Obama — and championed by the first lady — gives the government power to limit school bake sales and other fundraisers that health advocates say sometimes replace wholesome meals in the lunchroom.


To being concerned about national security because kids are too fat to qualify for military service.

washingtonexaminer.com...

Isn't even crazy to suggest, as Obama has, that when "one in four young people are unqualified for military service because of their weight, childhood obesity isn't just a public health threat, it's not just an economic threat, it's a national security threat as well."


Talk about early recruiting.

Healthy eating is always a good thing for us and our children. But is it MO or BO's s job to make healthier choices for us? IMO, it is not.

So back to Rush who calorie counted for MO...

The problem is, and dare I say this, it doesn’t look like Michelle Obama follows her own nutritionary, dietary advice,” Limbaugh said Monday on his radio program. “And then we hear that she’s out eating ribs at 1,500 calories a serving with 141 grams of fat per serving.”


So is he right? Should she be seen eating only wholesome foods? If she is advocating so strongly to control unhealthy foods and who eats it, should she not practice what she preaches?

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.


Refresh my memory now. Whose administration was it that wanted to have ketchup and relish reclassified as vegetables to save money on the school lunch program?

The Big Issue is that none of these chumps have anyone's best interests at heart other than their own. It's all pandering to the dolts like its a pro wrestling crowd.

Typical liberal vitriol.
Typical conservative hogwash.

If it doesn't all disgust you and you can actually find a side to pick, then you're right where they want you.
