Hey slick rick, she made a comment don't get you panties in a bunch! She did not pressure her husband to stop providing hormones riddled meat to the military.

What a non-issue if there ever was one. Why is this thread so absurdly long?

“You all look really good, really fit,” she told the airmen. “Thank you for eating your vegetables. We need you strong.”

She encouraged healthy habits during a visit with individual airmen at their tables."

“Don’t worry, you’ll be a vegetable guy soon,” she reassured one airman."


Does she not know how irritatingly condescending this sounds???

(Even if you agree with the program)
All this right-wing whining about the First Lady suggesting that people, especially chidren, eat healthy is only doing one thing, making the right-wing look like a bunch of idiots. Come on folks, the First Lady is forcing no one to do anything, she is just trying to make people more aware of the foods they eat and that there are healthy alternatives, yet you seem to find fault with it. Why is it that I KNOW if the Obama's were Republicans you would be praising her efforts.

Why else all the hate on a woman who is smart, personable, warm, very physically fit, and beautiful except that you're jealous that your own wife can't hold a candle to her?
Well, well, well, well- well

Look at the libbies coming out in defense of Mooshelle. Of course when Barbara Bush was called ugly they snickered but now that the POTUS has a D after his name it's Ooooooooo so scandalous!
Also, I wonder if the personal attack against me here would be a violation of the TOS. Of course I'm well within the TOS discussing Michelle Obama in the P&OC forum since she is a political figure. However, I'm sure well all know that I'd sooner be banned for discussing this than the poster who made the personal attack would be. So as far as the leftists are concerned attacks on my wife are fair game but Michelle Obama is off limits. Is that correct?

Vegetables Deliver Protein with Micronutrients : Disease Proof
There are many vegan athletes out there ranging from runners, to bodybuilders to boxers who are ahead of their game and winning medals.
List Of Vegan Athletes
I didn't think you were stopping me, I guess all sides have a story. Seems to me winning medals and running are different then what military guys do. Their not out trying to win a medal, they carry heavy gear all day long and need muscle to maintain there strength.

Jeff Behar, a natural bodybuilding champion and CEO, considers lean red meat (sirloin, flank and top round) the ultimate animal protein. Red meat contains high levels of zinc, iron and B vitamins. According to fitness expert Jillian Michaels, however, red meat should always be grass fed and organic, to avoid toxins and hormones.

Whining/griping/hating the first lady (regardless of which first lady) is just tacky and ignorant so if you want to continue.....well we'll know exactly who and what you are.

We cannot really get on anyone's case about who they find attractive or not!!!!!!!!!

Remember that thing, called beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What one person finds attractive, someone else may find disgusting,, and that too is their opinion.

I don't see anything really wrong per say, with Michelle, wanting adults to eat better and healthier, but come one now, if adults wanted to, would they really need Michelle for this.

Every one of us knows what to eat, and it is a balanced diet with plenty of exercise, and drinking fluids. Protein for muscle, not veggies.

Huh, she was at an Air Force Base, if she was at a Marine post or even a Army post I would be inclined to believe you, but Airmen (not all but most) do not engage alot of heavy gear carrying but do alot of mental work

It was actually pretty stupid, since they don't know what your wife looks like. Where as everyone can clearly see Michelle is a hag.
