Michelle Obama Tackles Childhood Obesity Epidemic pt.1

[slycooper47]

Oh, and when you eat healthy as well as work out, that doesn't mean you can never have hamburgers, french fries, and assorted fried foods. You just have to be smart about it. Eat less portion sizes, and not (let's say) twice a week.

[slycooper47]

To everyone who is commenting on this video, and saying negative things about her.

She is NOT forcing you guys to feed your child/ren healthy meals 24/7, geesh. So stop blabbing about how she is. But if you're wanting your children to not be active and you don't care what they eat, then that's fine too...they just have a greater chance of being obese, and it'll be whoever is their caregivers' faults when they do suffer from different complications.

[merks1]

she is a failure. Her plate menu failed, her school lunch program has failed and you want to know why? the food is crap and kids refuse to eat it. Besides she sits there and tells us how to eat and we see pictures of her cramming her fat mouth with hamburgers, french fries and assorted fried foods. You don't get to be as fat as her eating organic crap all the time.

[natedog007007]

You cannot do this to the children im sorry but now i dont like you Michelle im sorry if thats offensive but you know.Its a free COUNTRY.I can have my opinions you may have yours I say this You cannot tell everyone what to stop like giving their children sugary stuff .Its the parents choice dont think because OMG my husband is the president that YOU can do this to us!

[natedog007007]

@natedog007007 well i made an error i meant to say you cant do this to the US

[bluecat689]

Ok, her younger daughter is fat and she has a belly to so why is she telling parents how to feed there childern???

[joimko2]

I am amused by people thinking they can eradicate such a deep and wide problem in a generation... She makes a big mistake by saying she wants her kids to understand what to compete and win is... Many people stop sports because they can't be competitive because society only values success and stars and sham defeat and last. People need to understand pleasure of going out for a run with their partner, dog, friends, without giving a shit whether they are competitive / good / nice looking etc...

[BlackRepublican2010]

The greatest threat to the advancement of the black community are attitudes like mrs obama's dependence on gov't, elites know best she's an elitist now & an entitlement mentality.Michelle is ignorant bc she thinks that if we give more money to her & to government programs that kids are going to want to eat healthy. She is the first lady, not a policymaker. If Michelle Obama would look at her own parenting she would tell President Obama there is no need for gov't programs just good parenting.

[hardcorenyc]

She talks just as much shit as her husband

[redbaroniii]

Would the government please get off our backs and stop messing around in our lives and families. It is none of their business.

[grendelee]

@redbaroniii Yeah, theyre all.......being like Arnold Swartzeneeger and saying you should be healthy? Wow.....thats fucking epic mistreatment there. Shes like a female Stalin, am I right? Because Stalin........made people eat.....BULLETS

[melovebirds]

oh yeah, and can you people stop talking about "high taxes" like you know what you're talking about?? taxes have been lowest they have ever been in the US since the government started keeping track of them.

[Gracelandification]

Michelle Obama’s $4.5 billion "Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act" mandates broke school districts to grow gardens and have salad bars, but it begs the question why can’t the existing system be revamped to give children healthier choices without costing a fortune.

It also takes $2.2 Billion away from the Food Stamp Program to fund it. Currently the US pays some farmers not to grow food, and Michelle is on Sesame Street using Elmo to push it.

[melovebirds]

thank you!! someone is finally doing something about all these fatasses. I'm so sick of everyone saying bad stuff about my country because of stupid fat people.

[JammerZice]

@melovebirds Well, i'm tried of everyone laughing at my country because of all the stupid dumbass people.

[melovebirds]

@JammerZice that too. people with IQ's below 100 shouldn't be allowed to breed.

[JammerZice]

@melovebirds Whats wrong with fatasses? If we want to be fatasses then she should let us.

[ILLSkilll]

Michelle Obama > Sarah Palin

[HerrSpieldose]

of course she gains 10-15 lbs every time she goes on vacation... yeah okay michelle...

[bbliciousm101]

some of you guys are so ignorant its not even funny seriously shes doing this for a reason and just because shes trying to make a movement it doesnt mean shes evil or telling you how to raise your kids what do you want?? for america be the fattest country which it already is ,shes trying to help, grow up and childhood obesity is a problem so make some research and then come and talk some of you guys are dumb accept the help some of you guys need it

[dalmatian847]

@bbliciousm101 Why doesn't Mrs. Obama work on getting her husband to force the FDA to come up with a low-fat version of government cheese? Seeing the vast majority of her husband's supporters also happens to be the population most likely to be obese, and just STFU and leave everyone else alone.

[HerrSpieldose]

@bbliciousm101 you forgot the "white trash, racist, homophobic, antisemitic, islamophobic, Christian piece of shit" part of your dramatic tyrade.

I only eat organic and healthy and would never feed my kids aspartame and corn syrup and crap.

And they will be saying this in 2012 at the Election... I think her husband and his admin should take a trip to the Hague with the Bush admin myself.... a bunch of hateful warmongering assholes with no regard for human life... 10+ drone deaths per day? LOL

[HerrSpieldose]

yeah I used to be a democrat until about '06 and then they showed to me to be no different than the right wingers... a bunch of sociopaths.

[skywarp1]

This evil looking bitch telling us how to raise our kids. And tell us not to eat fast food. Her dumbass husband of hers is scarfing junk food and smoking and she telling people what to do. SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU EVIL HEFFA!!! Mind your damn business. Raise your own damn kids!

[ToxicOdiousOne]

Obamas eat fast food and Obama smokes? Who are they to lecture us on nutrition? Neither of them have a biochemistry degree or any work experience in the nutrition field.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

People are fat because they can't cook and therefore are too poor to afford a chef so they must rely on processed foods that will kill them slowly. They can't afford thousand dollar gym equipment. Who wants to see fatties walking around town? Nobody. Taxing the poor just makes it worse.

[MsZeitgeist85]

Palin: "How is that hopey changey stuff working out for yah"

How is that hooked on phonics working for you Sarah?

[aggiesspeakdatruth]

She is so beautiful! Lucky President Obama!

[btwall60]

@aggiesspeakdatruth

Yea, she is now in charge of FOOD. Barack is in charge of the car, banking, and "healthcare" industry. woopie. welcome to Commie US of A

[Hauteur723]

and next week you'll see her in a Mcdonalds Ad

[ToxicOdiousOne]

@Hauteur723 She wants more unemployment in an economy with already 10% unemployment? Why should childhood obesity affect the freedom of adults? I am not a parent. You can't impose arbitrary health standards on me or an arbitrary body type on me.

Yes it's wrong, but we're going to turn this into a fascist nation.

[sonbarably]

a nation that has been bombing civilians since 1945 and whose only enterprise is war is a fascist nation.

it became almost official in 2000 when Fox declared W. the president without all the people's votes being counted. and it became actually official a month ago when the supreme court said corporations were individuals protected by the constitution right after wall street collapsed the global economy with an 8 year financial industry crime spree.

[thincow12]

I't will never work, too much fat in fried chicken

[hilsnchad]

you haters go to hell.

[btwall60]

@hilsnchad

Who's a hater? Anyone that dosen't want a woman with absolutly ZERO knowledge about diet, being put in charge of.......FOOD. Yes, this is about her being, in the future, of what YOU EAT. You, me, all of us. And she will get a billion $'s of YOUR money to do it.

[sk8geezer]

Hey, Hey, Hey it's Fat Albert! WTF! Our country is fucked with these morons in the White House!!!

[bigc028282]

Spend some more money we don't have dipshit. I  guarantee she's obese according to a health survey. "absolutely" and " I completely agree". "food deserts", than you don't want that crap in trade bill, that controls your backyard garden then do you. Read that piece of crap!

Go fuck yourself.

[breezyvibe]

C i v i l i t y will come when we deny the New World Order. She's poised and I like her. But . . her husband is a puppet of the NWO . . .

[sonbarably]

she would have to tackle america's uniquely bizarre retail class system. lower income neighborhoods have the lowest quality food at the highest prices.

affluent neighborhoods have the highest quality at the cheapest prices. she would also have to tackle corporate fast food which is the biggest culprit.

major corporate enterprises like mcdonalds are not foes you want to take on in this country. just look at single-payer healthcare under the thumb of the insurance industry and senate hos.

[1019drummer]

Our courant first lady has chosen a war that CAN be won. Just say no to sunny-d and all of the other sugar layden fat oriented shit targeted at young and poor people. Fk mceeeedeee's If nancy reagan had said "just say no" to this shit back in 1982 our ps3 slacker people would sooo much better off.

Way to go mdm 1st lady.............

[whoo689]

How about you ask ME before you go around appropriating $10 Billio nfor this shit, Michelle?

And btw, where the hell is the bill that authorized this?? Who in Congress gave michelle $10 billion for childhood obesity??? Or is this just antoher presidential power grab, an executive order appropriating money? Or is she having Kathleen Sibelius misuse HHS funds?

[whoo689]

Did I hear that right...? TEN BILLION dollars for this nonsense??? To "possibly" prevent 1 or 2 out of thousands of children or maybe 10s or 100s of thousands of kids from "Dying of a heart attack" or some shit? Nevermind the fact that you'd have to eat an INSANE amount of junk food to die of obesity in your childhood years (and/or have bad genes, which is unlikely to contribute much to that). The body doesn't react to this shit all that quickly, esp. in ur childhood years.

[whoo689]

Besides, this shit won't work. Gov't programs like thsi to "fight obesity" are crap. Watch her fail and then watch me point and laugh for "tackling" such a bogus lie-filled issue.

[whoo689]

Gov't cannot nor SHOULD be doing everything just b/c we have some problem in society. Sometimes the problems are SELF-INFLICTED, like people being addicted to cigarettes and dying of lung cancer. They made that choice, and only individuals and PRIVATE groups can try to get them to stop smoking. Or the issue of obesity. We all CHOOSE to eat wtf we want. That's a human and American right.

Gov't should be protecting us against involuntary shit like pollution, but obesity? No...

[joimko2]

@HarryNRubin This does not mean obesity should not be addressed. Do have a look about what an epidemic curve means in terms of future death and health care expenses.

[whoo689]

Let's wise up. There is no obesity epidemic, and the amount of "obese children" is nothing to be scared of. Parents have to take responsibility, first and foremost. Gov't has no place here. I mean, for god sakes, if gov't can tell people what to eat and to "lose weight", what's next?? Is there NOTHING, short of death and wiretapping, that the gov't isn't suppsoed to be doing in the minds of the left? Where are your political boundaries?

[phuckery4you1958]

I live in the fattest state of Texas. Try to get past a Texan in the aisle of a store. I weigh 148 pounds and trust me it is not easy.

[anyusmoon1]

brilliantly put, couldn't agree more.

[whoo689]

If I'm on a 21st-Century COLLEGE campus (kids aren't exactly the most fit or active people, ya know), and most of the kids look fine, why the HELL should I beleive the bogus figures my gov't or these liberal anti-obesity groups present saying that almost 2/3rds or 3/4ths of all Americans are fatasses??

25,000 is a damn good representative sample, wouldn't u agree? Pollsters only need a minimum 1,000 respondents for their surveys. If the gov'ts stats are true, why am I not seeing this?

[Tressco]

She's destroying the food, sugar & pharma economy!

People ought to be fat to help the growth-based economy!

She's a evil, twisted job destroyer!

[whoo689]

I'm 22, and I live on a college campus of people of my age. Mizzou has over 25,000 undergrads, but I don't see too many fatties, to be honest. A good deal of them are still pretty fat or tiny. So shove that "obesity epidemic" bullshit up your fucking ass. Ever notice how the people shouting this nonsense the loudest WORK FOR THE GOV'T? You've got Michelle claiming it, and the CDC is a master at this propaganda. Bureaucrats all across the country syaing this crap.

[whoo689]

I'm so sick of these stupid pet political issues First Ladies tackle. This one has got to be the dumbest. Way to go, Michelle! What are you gonna do, separate kids from their parents and force them to eat only healthy shit and excercise a lot? How does she intend to "fight childhood obesity"?? WHO is she gonna target exactly, orphans??

And besides, the obesity stats are vastly overblown! Sure, obesity is higher than before, but it's nowhere near 2/3rds or some similar figure.

[tam705618]

child obesity is way more important than the war as obesity (heart attack) is the #1 leading death cause in American. And yes far surpass death toll in war.

[rohgenextfan]

What about the war epidemic? That's killing far more people.

[yourmomdidsayyourean]

I really like our First Lady.
