Michelle Obama continues war on tasty foods
Michelle Obama got $400 million in taxpayer cash to fight 'food deserts' -- so called areas where people don't have easy access to fruits and vegetables. Problem is there's not really a problem. Most low income people in America are actually closer to a supermarket than the wealthy, and of the 23 million people who are more than a mile away - 93.3% simply get in there cars and drive there. They spend a measly 4.5 minutes longer getting to the store than others. Why are we wasting time and taxpayer money on a problem many nations would love to have? Ref. Source 6
The worst diet ever?
Does it belong to weight challenged Michael Moore? Maybe - but Michelle Obama is giving him a run for his money. The First Lady's diet is notoriously unhealthy, even though she's leading the charge in getting fatty foods off the shelves for the rest of America to enjoy. It's reported she eats at Chipotle and Baskin Robbins, which seems counterproductive to achieving her goal of putting fast food out of business. Ref. Source 3

Michelle Obama Lunches With Planned Parenthood Activist
First Lady Michelle Obama was in Florida on Thursday afternoon for a private lunch reception with supporters of pro-abortion President Barack Obama's re-election campaign. While there, she met with an activist from the Planned Parenthood abortion business.
Her visit to the fundraising reception at Caren Lobo's house in the 3100 block of Bay Shore Road was among the stops she made in Florida following campaign visits from Republican primary candidates. She was also in Tampa and Palm Beach on Thursday. Before Obama spoke to the crowd, guests were able to take photographs and chat with her. Among the guests was Barbara A. Zdravecky, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida. She spoke to Obama about women's health care.
"She speaks from the heart," said Zdravecky, adding that Obama touched on all the major issues affecting the country. During the reception, Obama was "engaged" with the crowd, Zdravecky said. "She's a real people person," she added. Ref. Source 5
