Article: "Michelle Obama's Healthy Food Campaign"
Can anyone explain what's wrong with Michelle Obama promoting a healthy lifestyle? The way I see it, she's encouraging people to take personal responsibility. That's conservatism! We should give credit where credit is due, in my opinion.
Radio talk show hosts (food advertisers), like Rush Limbaugh, often criticize her by saying, "we don't want government telling us what we should or shouldn't eat." Well, the last time I checked, Michelle Obama is not the government. She's a private citizen exercising her freedom of speech. And, basically, she's taking a conservative stand by promoting personal responsibility. She wants people to eat healthier diets and get more exercise.
Are conservatives, like Rush, against her having freedom of speech? Are conservatives anti-health? Are conservatives incapable of recognizing conservatism as it pertains to health?
