First Lady Tackles Childhood Obesity In Q&A With Students

[nycrtst33]

she should talk about the corporations using cartoons to lure kids to buy this bad foods in the first place,companies like mcdonalds etc.., also Monsanto putting all these chemicals in the foods,poor children they look up to her.one can see through her easily

[ThunderheadNebula]

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.

What a lovely, kind, intelligent lady! I watched the ENTIRE video and I'm very impressed.  Mrs. Obama makes some excellent points in a very compassionate, non-critical way. I can't believe some of the negative comments below.

[nycrtst33]

@gayemarasaki-investigate on your own you'll find out the ugly truth.if she really was worried about childhood obesity she would go after the billion dollar companies that market this poisons to children in the first place ex mc donalds,kellogs,etc...and what about the drug companies targeting children too ???saying they got add and such back then there was no such thing because it was common sense to know children are hyperactive.Its not negativity its the truth.and she never mentions Monsanto.

How nice the Obama's are vacationing in Maine this weekend, dining on lobster drenched in butter and blueberry pancakes drenched in syrup. I'm sick of this "do as I say, not as I do" BS family. American kids are lucky if they have anything to eat with Obama. Enjoy another taxpayer paid vacation. How many is this now?

[awall1231]

now children when the aliens come, there gonna eat the fat people first.

[rskurow]

God help her because obviously she does not know what she is talking about.

[brooman15]

Poor kids, how long did they have to sit and listen to this garbage?

[Venue0309]

@brooman15 For as long as you sat and listened to this.

[JCJC2009]

Awesome Video.

[lenny380]

maybe you should be teaching them how to read and write so they can figure it out for themselves. ignorance should be your biggest concern.

[mutexnet]

Let me get this straight. We're gifted with a health care plan written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, signed by a president who also hasn't read it and who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, and overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke.

Does that about cover it?

[xArmonx]

oh shit, a 1 hour video on YouTube? I didn't even know that was allowed.

[Vinifera7]

I notice that none of the children in the audience are, in fact, obese.

[ryno99]

What a joke. Ban GMO's, aspartame, corn syrup, BGH. Obama takes Monsanto money. Only a fucking moron would believe they care about the American people. Globalists run this country. Take it back folks. Wake up!

[oldwarhorse1865]

I think the epidemic is in the gov. policy! DUH @ BabybooR33 you forgot the flouride

[mutexnet]

Why doesn't Ms Heusain start with the Negress Surgeon General? She's obese yet is supposed to set the standard for us all.

[ReallyPsilly]

@mutexnet

Because the Surgeon General is an adult and can choose what she ingests.

Posting a bigoted comment with no substance isn't very becoming of you..

Grow up.

[mutexnet]

@ReallyPsilly Because not only is she an adult, but he Surgeon General of the United States, and she is obese - you made my point for me. As you say she can choose to ingest whatever she wishes. Exactly. Its apparent she ingests quite a bit of bad / junk food and does not exercise Yet she is supposed to be the 'model'. Calling a comment bigoted and telling someone to grow up while disregarding the obvious has all arrows pointing to you as a liberal Heusain voter and supporter.

[ReallyPsilly]

Who expects the surgeon general to be a role model for children? Hanna Montana is a role model for children and the Surgeon General the head of the PHSCC and thus is a spokesmen on behalf of current health issues in the US. Besides, calling Regina Benjamin obese clearly shows your understanding of obesity.

One can only infer my political standing from my previous comment by a lack of racism, thus you assume I must be a "liberal Hussein (you spelled wrong) voter and supporter". Again, grow up.

[mutexnet]

@ReallyPsilly you said "Surgeon General the head of the PHSCC and thus is a spokesmen on behalf of current health issues in the US". Again, my point exactly.

[DigitalAquarius]

@mutexnet See, and then you guys ask why we think people who are against Obama are racist.

Your ignorant comment makes me sick.

[mutexnet]

@DigitalAquarius - My factual comment makes you sick? Then its a good thing Heusain rammed through Obamacare, which the overwhelming majority of tax payers didn't want, by a slim margin, with no republican votes which extends trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see. Go for it.- Im sure that "left wing pin wheel eyed liberal hurt feelings" is probably right up there for tax payers to cover.

[BabybooR33]

stop forcing us to eat gmo foods... stop chemtrailing us ... stop haarping us... stop vaccinating us ... stop poisoning our food water air & minds.... STOP!

War of any kind is the health of the state.

[nadoop]

Because reading to little black kids don't render the "white savior" effect, so her handlers gave her something else to do: wage war against fat kids.
