If our children are going to follow Obama's example, they'll be lighting a cigarette after they eat.

That's funny (I think) but you know every time they show the president eating, he is eating a hoagie, ice cream or some such thing then you add the beer and the cigarette, he might think about the message he is sending :)

He does seem to love the photo op in the fast food joints....perhaps he hasn't seen his wife's promos for good eating ! YET, he remains thin as a rail !

he only eats enough until he hears the shutter click...one bite, maybe two....remember it is him being his political self trying to show the "folks" he is one of 'em!!!
Has nothing to do with what he eats.

Let me see....no physical ed or PT in schools....no more playing outside, running, jumping, hide n' go seek stuff....no walking to school or any where else....being driven to everything....no regular family meals on a regimen of any kind....very few home made meals....fast food and junk food dominant diet....sitting for hours in front of the TV or the computer or the ipad/pod/phone.......

does anybody really believe our over weight, lethargic and in too many cases fat society is what it is because of the diet.....not hardly.....in my very humble, unbiased opinion.

I honestly don't know, nor do I really care what the POTUS eats. All I can go by is what I see in the media. He has one daughter who seems to have his physical build and one who seems to have her mother's heavier build. Saying that, I would hope that he doesn't care about what I eat or my body shape either. However, I do agree with you 100 percent that the lack of PE in schools and the sendentary lifestyle that is encouraged and allowed of our children is a major cause of childhood obesity.

This is a true story. It happened about abot 16 years ago at an elementary school in Virginia. It was nearing the end of the school year and I surprised my son's elementary school class with pizzas from Pizza Hut. I got to the class about 15 minutes before the scheduled lunch time and went to the teacher and told her what I'd done. It was one of those spur-of-the-moment things I did just as a fun treat because I had the time in my day and thought it would be fun for the kids. I hadn't scheduled it with the teacher ahead of time.

She told me the kids had to go to the cafeteria because so many had free or reduced lunches it would mess up the mechanism of payment and such if they skipped out of the system that day. I suggested that I take the pizza into the cafeteria and let them get their food trays and drinks and eat pizza if they wanted to eat pizza with their school lunch. She said I wasn't allowed to bring outside restaurant food into the cafeteria to feed an entire class because of USDA guidelines.

I was stunned and shocked and apologized to her for causing a disturbance, because by then my son and the majority of the kids who knew me wanted me to eat luch with them and asking me if I was reading to them that day and so forth. I bought a school lunch and ate with my son and took the pizzas home.
About your example above......Like I said before and "bug-infested" is ROFL-ing about, government control in the government schools' feeding programs is not all that far from prohibiting ANY lunch brought from home.

I don't doubt it one bit. Years ago, there was a minister and his wife who came to a very poor coal camp town near where I grew up. He started the area's first food bank through his church. He wheeled and dealed and had amazing fresh produce and breads and even meats that he and volunteers gave to the people in need throughout the area.

Other churches throught the mountains got involved and the next thing you know, someone in a bigger neighboring town donated a building and land. The organization was amazing. Someone got in touch with a food bank in a neighboring county who was associated with a national food bank distributor.

Before long, the government had to approve what food was accepted as give away by the food bank and the participants had to prove their income to receive food. So much for the good hearted efforts of the pastor helping laid-off miners with a small savings account, widows with a small pension or others who had fallen on a temporary hard time.

wow,just unbelievable....we go from a GREAT idea by Mrs. Obama to control of school lunches and miners. Some of you are really selectively paranoid when it comes to the gov't.

And some of you are gullible when it comes to the government--trusting blindly in politicians who care about nothing except power and their re-election coming up.

What, if anything, does your post have to do with the topic of Mrs. Obama and healthy foods?

Be happy someone is going forth to promote healthy eating for kids. It is a lot better than McDonalds, KFC, and Pizza Hut - oh no, Scooter the DJ has invaded TOTV!!

Yeah, just picture me with a pony tail, headband, and guitar at the Sunday night hootenanny (The Cellar Door in Georgetown, DC). Sold out to Barry Goldwater in preference to Lyndon Johnson.
