Michelle Obama eviscerates the Trump Administration over their undermining of her healthy foods initiative.

A fiery Michelle Obama vigorously defended the healthy eating initiative that was her biggest legacy as First Lady on Friday, telling a public health summit in Washington D.C. that something was “wrong” with an administration that did not want to give consumers nutrition information or teach children to eat healthily. 

“We gotta make sure we don’t let anybody take us back,” Obama said. “This is where you really have to look at motives, you know. You have to stop and think, why don’t you want our kids to have good food at school? What is wrong with you? And why is that a partisan issue? Why would that be political? What is going on?”

In a 43-minute conversation, peppered with sarcastic remarks and veiled references to the Trump administration, Michele Obama discussed topics from life since her husband left the presidency to her Let's Move! initiative. 

“Take me out of the equation -- like me or don’t like me,” Obama added. “But think about why someone is okay with your kids eating crap. Why would you celebrate that? Why would you sit idly and be okay with that? Because here’s the secret: If someone is doing that, they don’t care about your kid.”

I have to admit that I love the idea of the former First Lady weighing in on some of these terrible Trump Administration policy decisions.  Especially this one that is no near and dear to her heart.

I would argue that she is undoubtedly the most popular First Lady in recent history, and of course she is FAR more popular than Doanld Trump, so her words will definitely have an impact.

And she is certainly not wrong here.

Why would the Republicans not care about good nutrition for our children?

I mean if you combine this with the GOP "health care" plan it seems like they are doing everything they can to shorten our nation's life expectancy.

But that can't be right, can it?

Sarah Palin encourages children to stand up for their right to eat junk food while stomping on the 1st amendment rights of those who came to protest her in Pennsylvania.

From PhillyBurbs.com:

About a dozen people who had gathered to protest Sarah Palin's arrival at a fundraiser in Peddler's Village late Tuesday afternoon were forced to move by police.

Officers from both Solebury and Buckingham, who were providing security in the vicinity of the Cock 'n Bull restaurant where Palin was making an appearance, told the protesters that they could not stand across the street from the eatery's entrance.

Doylestown Township resident Mari Suarez, who was among the group, said police told her that the demonstrators were on private property and had to move.

"I don't think that's right," said Suarez.

"It's unjust," said Marlene Pray, the Doylestown resident who helped organize the protests. However, she said she was not surprised by the police action.

"We were told to expect this," Pray said. "It has happened at other places where Sarah Palin has appeared. It's her draconian security measures."

It seems that Sister Sarah is ALL about protecting the rights of students in Pennsylvania to increase their risks of tooth decay and contracting type two Diabetes, but does not recognize the hypocrisy inherent in the fact that the people who do not agree with her were not able to exercise their first amendment rights which our founding fathers provided to the citizens of this great country.

I can come to no other conclusion than that Sarah Palin hates America, but LOVES childhood obesity.

So what do you get when you have a parent who refuses to teach her children about good nutrition, or the importance of safe sex?

I have decided what I am going to get Bristol for Christmas this year.  A mother who actually loves her.

Perhaps she can find it in her heart to share her with the other members of her family, before it is too late for them as well.

P.S. I actually do feel a little guilty including Bristol's picture in this post, but it certainly seems relevant if her mother is going to protest the efforts of the Pennsylvania school system to protect their students from poor nutrition.  If somebody is going to stick their nose into how the schools and parents of another state care for their children, than obviously it is fair game to scrutinize how that person parents their OWN children. (And of course I am still pretty convinced that Bristol's weight gain is for another reason altogether, but since the Palin's are in denial about that then the only other alternative is that Bristol grew up without learning the importance of good nutrition from her parents. One of which is now giving nutional advice to the children in Pennsylvania.)

Sarah Palin brings poor parenting skills to Pennsylvania, will encourage students to defy proposed nutrition guidelines.

Palin's completely asinine tweet is in response to Pennsylvania's plan to implement a new nutrition policy in their public schools.

The cake, cookies and candy at the school parties you might remember will become a no-no if the state approves new nutrition guidelines.

Parent organizers would have to pick just one sweet treat per party and will be encouraged to order anything else from a menu of healthy snacks from their district's food services department....

The Pennsylvania State Board of Education expects to vote this spring on new nutrition guidelines for food served at school, said Adam Schott, the board's executive director. Districts would have to comply by fall 2012, he said. The proposed rules came about through an ongoing review process.

The rules would limit the number of parties to one classroom birthday celebration a month, and no more than three holiday parties a year. They must be held after lunch.

The state could withhold or rescind state and federal reimbursements for districts that don't comply. The state could revoke approval for vending machines from offending districts....

You know the debate over nutrition and whether or not school officials should be restricting the kinds of treats that parents are allowed send to school to celebrate their children's birthdays is one that adults can, and should, certainly have.  But what should NEVER be done is for an adult, especially one with the influence that Sarah Palin wields, to undermine the authority of the school's policies.

Just what kind of an adult would encourage children to defy the guidelines proposed by their school?

Well I am guessing the same kind of an adult who did not reinforce the idea of having safe sex, or to respect other people's property, or to respect their elders. However it is one thing for Sarah Palin to screw up her own children, but quite another for her to poison the minds of other people's children!

You know I worked in an elementary school, and I can tell you from personal experience that the problems caused by childhood obesity are widespread and heartbreaking. I have seen five year old children too overweight to tie their own shoes, and too out of shape to even endure a thirty minute PE class without repeatedly having to take a break and sit on the sidelines to catch their breath.

What the Pennsylvania school district is proposing as a sane approach to an insane and out of control problem.

But what am I thinking?  Of course Sarah Palin would be against ANYTHING that was on the side of sanity!
