..... I won't even get started on how all of you people attacking Michelle Obama choose to ignore the fact that she's just trying to get children to start making healthier decisions and form healthier food habits...Well, make a stupid topic...
So you believe that attacking people here instead for expressing opinion is better plan? Read on.

And there you are. She would be using her position to shame Coke, Pepsi/Tropicana, and many others to stop marketing their sugar water to kids.
If the first lady really wants to do something about child hood obesity, she would be making an aggressive push for parents to stop giving soda (once considered a treat just for adults) to kids as a routine drink. Or "juice drinks" which are mostly sugar disguised as something healthy for kids in those pretty, huge packaging waste, containers. But this means kicking the powerful corporations in the pants and there is no way she is going to do that.
The S'mores thing is nothing more than window dressing in comparison. Waste of tax dollars.
I think we need to ponder the way we use media in this thread.
Look at the facts:
An agency endorsed by MO posts a tweet about a recipe.
Media:
"MO wants to ban S'Mores."
No, the White House doesn't want to ban s'mores. They don't want to oblige you to do anything. The people from that agency just posted something they found interesting and might help parents who want to offer something else.
Whether you're for or against MO, this is the issue: Media will twist facts to get clicks and reads. Because it generates advertisement income...
I believe in democracy. I don't like Obama but I accept and respect him and his administration because whether you like it or not, a majority of Americans voted for him. So please, let's stop bickering. Our nation is in shambles...

The girl scouts as far as I know represent a small percentage of the population, but its cool they camp.

At least marshmallows won't give everyone the trots. I'm not lugging a cooler up there, it's hard enough with full backpacks and fishing poles.
LOL, but if they are camping in the living room, the yogurt should stay okay.

Thank you for participating in my topic. It's been very entertaining for me as well. You are all very fine people, I'm sure.
You're very welcome! I'm sure there will be more to come. Oh, and it's Cali Doll, but I do love doggies! I have an English Bulldog and she's the sweetest dog ever.
Who cares about the science behind the advice...what matters is that it appears she gives a damn about what people eat.
Maybe she should give a damn IF people can eat, like all the homeless vets in this country.
