zeroptb: You shouldn't be criticizing the first lady for wanting to help people who are crying out for help. Martin Luther King once said there are children of light and children of darkness, you certainly come under the banner child of darkness! But you can change if you want to, it really is your decision where you finally end up, heaven or hell!

What do you have against this fine First Lady?? What is wrong wit you??!! And to call our First Lady names, shows total disrespect for a lady that most Americans absolutely love!!!! This is very hurtful to the many of us that love Her!!!! She is trying, and succeeding in making a difference in America!! Shame on you!!!!

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.

Is she doing this for fame? Idk....hmmmm....But idk where she gets off trying to give quotable or reputable advice concerning physical fitness and individual nutrition...Actually,that is the problem it isn't indivual. It is very hard to give nutritional advice without it being on an individual basis. It varies from person to person,and male to female.

For healthy options that are within your budget look for Lifestyle Foods products, based out of York, PA. We have spent the past 6 years dedicating ourselves to developing healthy on-the-go products that the entire family can enjoy!

@zeroptb also...and actually more importantly, I'm pretty sure that both groundhog and tomthumbs are complete trolls out there just to make democrats and left wingers look bad. Most of us do NOT think like that. We might support more government involvement--a legitimate difference of views--but I don't know of anyone who treats the Obamas like divine royalty...not to mention the BS anti-Christian stuff on groundhog's page.

I hope you don't believe the crap they are posting.

@zeroptb why does it matter what her hair looks like (not very nappy, btw) and what texture it is?

@groundhog: You are so brainwashed I'm not going to answer that IMO very stupid response. However I will say, do yourself a favor and STUDY somewhere else besides what O'DUMBO gives you to study. You have a computer. Do yourself a favor and look up and see why so many are Very Mad this was let through... So say the government is watching our for you is a JOKE!!! The damn CIA brings drugs into our homeland for sale! But they want to restrict our Vitamins? Do some homework kid.

@zeroptb Why are you right wingers attacking thos of us ho love and support our president and first lady??  You should love and support her for what she is trying to do for our country! She seems the reincarnation of Jackie Kennedy, especially when she wears her pretty pearls!

We dont care how Obama got into office. He is a great President, and he is making a difference in all the lives of the poor and middle class in America! America loves the Obama family!
