Michelle Obama: America's Moms Are 'Confused and Bewildered,' 'Defeated' by Grocery Shopping | CNS News

"So there you stood, alone in some aisle in a store, the clock ticking away at the precious little time remaining to complete your weekly grocery shopping, and all you could do was scratch your head, confused and bewildered, and wonder, is there too much sugar in this product? Is 50 percent of the daily allowance of riboflavin a good thing or a bad thing? And how on Earth could this teeny little package contain five whole servings?

Read the rest. But put your big girl panties on, because it's so insulting and degrading to women, by assuming they are the mindless twits she portrays... Gahhhh...

Propaganda pitch to get labels changed.

The industry balked at COOL because the costs were outrageous.
Let's see if they do the same with this.

Any fool knows that preprocessed food is NOT the best choice for a "healthy meal".

Maybe Mrs. Obama should be getting people OFF preprocessed food and back to cooking from scratch instead.

Most folks I know don't even read the label.
They just buy what they always buy.

So many people think Aunt Jemima syrup is "maple syrup".
I tell them to read the label and see if there's any "maple" in it.
It's a bottle of HFCS folks.
You want real "maple" syrup then pay twice as much for the real deal.

That women can't read food labels as they are today.
They need the government to step in and "fix it for them".

Maybe it has to do with our declining literacy rates.

Honestly i don't see how anyone could be confused by food labeling, it's straight up and clear.

Must be what Michelle thinks... Her excepted, of course.

Nonsense. It is simply another example of frothing right wing hysteria when dealing with this President and his family.

Maybe from the DNC in 2012, Mother Jones, Daily Kos, etc... they're great at that.

How many ghetto moms on food stamps read nutrition labels.

Clearly she was talking to the very constituency that actually didn't need her "help."

What an out of touch idiot.

LOL
