Thread: Gardening with Michelle ...

Michelle Obama is proposing new rules today that would change the types of foods and drinks companies can advertise in schools. Companies would be allowed to promote their healthier products to students, but not their sugary, high-calorie products. How does this idea sound to you?

This will Make you Cringe:
Barack and Michelle Pretend to Goof Around in Her New ‘Let’s Move' video
February 23, 2015

This month marks the fifth anniversary of Michelle Obama’s health program, which she started in 2010 to end childhood obesity in America.

The latest video starts with Michelle trying to explain ‘Let’s Move’s’ current campaign before Barack rudely interrupts her, presumably looking for his tie.



It’s awkward, undignified and will leave you cringing. I can only imagine how world leaders such a Putin and Netanyahu are enjoying the spectacle the Obama’s have made of the once proud position of President of the United Stated of America.

Now Michelle Obama Wants to Control How You Shop for Groceries
July 18, 2014 By Jennifer Burke

Michelle Obama has been on a quest to change the way Americans eat, like it or not. Her nutritional guidelines for schools has resulted in kids throwing away massive amounts of food, a reduction in school lunch program participation, students, especially athletes, complaining that the food isn’t enough to sustain them during the day.

What the First Lady deems appropriate and sufficient for ‘regular Americans’ is a far cry from what her daughters are fed at their private school. The Obama girls eat specially made, five-star meals gourmet meals prepared by a sous chef at school. http://www.cnsnews.com/mrctv-blog/ba...rs-lament-lets

Now, Michelle Obama wants to take her nutritional demands from the school system nationwide with major changes being suggested by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to nudge Americans to purchase healthier foods. While the “expert panel” had a supposed target of the 47 million Americans, and growing, who are on food stamps, the suggestions will impact everyone who shops at a grocery store. The Washington Free Beacon reported on this attempt by the USDA, using Michelle Obama’s guidelines, to ‘nudge’ consumers on nutritional choices. http://freebeacon.com/issues/usda-su...o-eat-healthy/

In their 80-page report, the USDA said, “Most Americans, including Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants, do not purchase enough whole grains, dark green and orange vegetables, and legumes, and purchase too many items with excess calories from fats and added sugars.” The report continued, “At the same time, the food retail environment is saturated with food marketing messages, including health and nutrition claims and information, advertisements, and promotions for many unhealthy food items.”

This plan to ‘nudge’ Americans to make healthier food choices includes:

•A points-based system reward for healthy food choices for food stamps recipients redeemable for movie tickets

•Buy one, get one free deals for SNAP participants

•Discount coupons for SNAP participants

•A USDA loyalty card

•Grocery store staff used to push the USDA nudging agenda by acting as ambassadors, steering people to the approved food choices

•High-tech, $30,000 grocery carts, “MyCart grocery cart,” which would help consumers know they have the appropriate amount of government approved food choices. The color-coded cart would have sections with sensors installed to praise the customer when they have a cart filled to its ‘healthy threshold.’ The report cited the cost for changing to the high-tech grocery cart for Safeway, Inc., which has 1,335 stores nationwide, would be $40.05 million.

In addition, grocery stores would guide customers to “healthier food choices through the use of visual displays and other signage, including ceiling banners, refrigerator and freezer door clings, and shelf talkers.” All grocery stores would be encouraged to create “healthy aisles” to make the government approved food choices more prominent and to change these promotions frequently so that consumers don’t become bored or ignore them.
