Shes so ugly. Screw obama

I believe Ms Obama is sincere in her efforts. However she may be surrounded by the wrong people telling her the wrong things. Too many experts follow conventional wisdom.

it's called personal choice and a trade off an example is junk food tastes good but the trade off is your getting fat a healthy snack taste is variable depending on pallet and the trade off is that it's good for you. this bill is bound to fail

Having Mechelle Oboma in the white house is equivalent to having a turd in a jewelry box.

First you make a proper sporting infrastructure and proper coaching teaching. You'll get more athletical potential with national, club and recreational structure (hope that made sense). The first point is key because "diet" is absolutely useless the person can maintain his muscle and physiological state.

Make whole food cheap, make organic whole food 2nd cheapest. Castrate the fast food industry, drive up process food prices, no refined grains and make sweets a luxury. Finished. no more shit!

Its processed foods made by the major corporations that is contributing to the diabetes and obesity 'epidemic' in this country but Americans are to stupid to read the lables: These are some FDA approved corporate poisions: monosodium glutamate[(MSG) also comes under many different names)], partially hydrogenated oils(TRANS FATS,), high fructose corn syrup, sodium phosphates(SP pills r given to colonoscopy patients to clease the colon) ,sodium nitrates just to name a few. Stop buying garbage

Hahaha, I don't really care about her looks, really, but I couldn't resist using this. Sorry for all you sensitive people who can't take a joke.

@annie2062003 I agree, I have a very fast metabolism. If I don't eat "junk food", I'll become even more thin than I am. >.<
