As for Michelle Obama, I happen to like that she's making a cause out of obesity so you may be talking to the wrong person with me I feel sorry for the overweight children with endocrine problems who cannot help being overweight and will now be stigmatized because the first lady has said it is because they don't eat the right foods.

IF Mrs. Obama really cared about the kids, she'd talk nutrition, and not pointedly pick out the fat kids ....PLUS she'd insist they had some physical exercise at school. Have you been to a elementary school recently? Are the kids playing outside anytime during the day? Before school? No, they aren't. Why? They might 'get hurt.' I'd like to see what kind of meals the schools are serving these days....First breakfast, then breakfast and lunch, and now there is talk about giving them dinner as well...(after trying to understand why the government thinks it is the Taxpayers business to feed these kids, and give the parents food stamps as well.....)
