Seriously?

Michelle Obama: "Obesity is also one of the biggest threats to the American economy" Text

Perhaps this is the White House' new populist approach. If so, I can't think it will be popular.

Next up--new school uniforms will protect us from nukes.

"The statistics never fail to take my breath away".

Yes, this is the most critical issue in our public schools. Seriously.

She's just laying the groundwork for a new wave of nutrition laws/taxes.

I wonder what foods they will identify as the obesity villain?

Fats? Meats? I vote for sugar and starches. /sarc

Yeah. These nannies tax anything that moves.

It just made me mad that she exaggerates--first everything was a health issue (crime, global warming), now it's all to do with the economy---these people want to control every aspect of our lives and tax us on it.
