The Obamas and Their Food Police

As I and millions of other Americans suffer this morning from eating too much at Superbowl Parties last night, we have one consolation:  The President and First Lady are probably suffering as much as we are.

Per Yahoo.com:

Last night at the White House Super Bowl Party, the menu included Yuengling Lager and Light, brewed in Pennsylvania, and Hinterland Pale Ale and Amber Ale, all the way from Wisconsin. White House Honey Ale was also imbibed.

The 100-plus guests at the bash at the Executive Mansion also indulged in bratwurst, kielbasa, cheeseburgers, deep-dish pizza and Buffalo wings with sides of German potato salad, twice-baked potatoes and assorted chips and dips.

Wait a second.  Isn’t this the same administration that wants to regulate what we peasants eat?

Michelle (ma belle) has already called for a war against childhood obesity and has called for strict regulation of school menus, including removing Coke machines from America’s public schools, which America’s teachers are fighting, tooth and nail. ( Never try to deprive our teachers of their carbonated caffeine.  Trust me.  I have one at home.)

Additionally, the Obamas and their Administration have attacked Walmart and are trying to force America’s restaurants into putting nutrition information on their menus.

Michelle and her advisers have been meeting the National Restaurant Association over the last year, in an attempt to force restaurants to serve smaller portions and children’s meals that include healthy offerings like carrots, apple slices and milk instead of French fries and soda.

Additionally. the First Lady recently proclaimed that she had cajoled…err….reached an agreement with Walmart to lower prices on fruits and vegetables and to reduce the amount of fat, sugar and salt in its foods.

Tomorrow, Queen Michelle will begin a three-day publicity assault to spotlight “Let’s Move!,” her campaign to reduce childhood obesity.

She will premiere a new public service announcement, appear on the “Today” show and travel to Atlanta to promote gardening and healthy-eating programs.

But that’s not all the Commissioner of the Food Police has been doing.  She and her caloric centurions have worked with soda makers to design cans with calorie counts and, if that is not enough, she is spearheading a major remake of the Food Pyramid.

Why? Did anybody ask her to? What business of her’s is what we choose to eat or feed our children?

As I mentioned earlier, Michelle even strong-armed Congress to make schools have more fruits and vegetables in the lunches they offer, and she instructed lawmakers to require restaurants to print nutrition information on menus, a provision that wound up in the monstrosity known as Obamacare.

Michelle and her Food Police are everywhere. Lanette R. Kovachi, corporate dietitian for Subway, said she had taken part in at least four conference calls with Mrs. Obama’s food advisers.

According to Melody Barnes, Michelle’s domestic policy adviser and the chairwoman of a presidential task force on obesity, industry has been eager to work with the White House. I’ll bet. But the Caloric Queen will not lend her name to any plan or program, she said, unless it meets the recommendations of a task force report issued in May.

If someone wants her support, we take a hard look at the data and the research to determine if the commitment meets our standards. And if the result is good for business as well as for the health of American children, we see that as a win-win.

Regarding her agreement with Walmart, this was strictly a business move on the company’s part.  They have been trying to expand into urban areas for years, and teaming up with the First Lady, will open up  resistant, Liberal,  local politicians to the idea of allowing the retail giant in their neighborhood.

Walmart is playing this Administration like a fiddle.  Good for them.

First ladies of previoius Administrations have donated their time and effrorts to important causes, such as the fight against illiteracy.  Why does this imperious regime think that it is their perogative to dictate what we and our children eat at our dinner tables?  If I want to order a pizza for dinner and then eat a cold slice for breakfast, that’s my business.  I’m a free American. 

What’s next?  Telling us what kind of light bulbs we can use?  Oh…never mind.

Anyway, I realize that a lot of Americans do not eat in as health a manner as they should.  As someone who has dropped almost 30 pounds over the last year, I recognize the dangers of weighing too much.  However, personal responsibility is the only solution for obesity.  Just ask Richard Simmons.

The Obama’s attempt to legislate our daily caloric intake, while they continue to eat like King Henry VIII, is hypocrisy of the higher order.  Michelle Antoinette would be proud of them.

Oh, and Michelle, if you are so concerned about Americans’ weight, here’s a suggestion:  look over your shoulder, toward the floor.

Physician, heal thyself.

    Meeshell’s fashion handlers must lie to her every day and cut the size tags out of her designer clothes and she doesn’t use the three-way mirror in her dressing room.
