Really, how did we ever get to the point where the President's wife runs around telling people what to eat? Is this what the Founders had in mind? A country where the president's wife serves as a national dietary scold & grown servicemen cannot properly feed themselves? We're screwed.

Yeah, just ridiculous that any FLOTUS wants to do anything for the people of the US, right?

I don't know how some people aren't familiar with free will. It shouldn't be required to eat vegetables. We all know that vegetables are healthy. If someone wants to eat a bunch of fried food, candy, whatever, let them.

While I think Mrs. Obama's vegetable kick is a solution in search of a problem, there are 99 things I'm more outraged by in an average day.

Does anyone else see the overwhelming correlation between getting our children and our military to eat healthy? It's like she's trying to groom our fat, slovenly, lazy children to become military personnel later in life for when "the almost final but not quite final solution" becomes reality.

When it comes time for the children of today to kick in the doors of all those nay-sayers of the true one democratic party and whisk them off to the gulags, they're going to have to be able to overpower a number of things: Nascar fans, tea party members, gun nuts, and jesus freaks - none of which is going to be easy because they all have thousands of rounds of ammunition and look as though they're preparing for the zombie apocalypse.

This is just one more proof that the obamas are setting up to take over the entire planet and physical fitness is where it all starts. Unless we get back on our butts and start playing playstation or eating potato chips in front of the tv, the obamas are going to have their way! We should all put on another fifty pounds in defiance of such a dictatorship!
Thanks for the warnings

$1 billion for a national dietcian-in-chief seems overpriced. Isn't there a dietician who would do it for $1 million? Perhaps even more knowledgeable than Michelle, who was after all a hospital administrator.

What the First Lady is attempting to do is really scandalous. Maybe if we are lucky we will get a First Lady with real class...Calista Gingrich for instance. She can give advice on how to let your conscience be your guide while having an affair with a married man. That would be so much more useful, beneficial and admirable than what Michelle Obama is doing.
