WASHINGTON, D.C. – First Lady Michelle Obama took to the airwaves Friday in a Channel One interview beamed into thousands of school classrooms to an estimated 5 million students across America.
.
According to a transcript provided on the Channel One website, Obama said, “I know kids are grumbling because they have to make changes. Trust me, my kids roll their eyes at me every time I tell them ‘you know you don’t have to finish your diner, but you have to finish your vegetables.’ But I know that I’m doing it because I’m giving my kids the best that I know I can give them.”
.
The First Lady made it clear she’s not backing down: “Don’t be mad because there are changes. Figure out why the changes are important, and then find out how you make it work for you.”
.
You know, my kids like broccoli, celery, carrots – those kind of vegetables that have a little flavor, sweetness to it. And I would encourage kids to go over to those salad bars and just try a mixture of things, because sometimes if you mix a bunch of things up and you chop it up, the whole combination sounds pretty good.
.
In fact, the Channel One anchor, Maggie Rulli, pointed student viewers to her blog, where they would see some “first-lady-inspired lunches.”
.
“Look, I wouldn’t want to eat a nasty lunch either. Quite frankly, no one wants to eat bad food,” Obama said in the interview.
,
.
Sure, I know that there are more pressing issues facing the Nation today, but could we please spend a moment; one solitary moment, speaking on behalf of the children?
.
- The children who are looking CHOICE.
- The children who are looking for FREEDOM.
- The children who are looking for a Hot Dog, Macaroni and Cheese, a dollop of Apple Sauce, and a pint of Chocolate Milk.

We learned a few weeks ago that school fundraising efforts are being monitored by alert State employees intent on adhering to stringent FLOTUS guidelines regarding the type and number of 'unhealthy choices' bake sales a school can have.
.
Sure, the elimination of bake sales, cookie sales, and spaghetti dinners will put additional financial burdens on schools trying to figure out how to fund new uniforms for the Football Team, the Golf Squad, the field hockey team, and the High School Marching Band, but given that the kids will be too weak and frail to participate in athletics, or to carry instruments in musical programs - they won't need those new uniforms after all!
.
Turn that frown upside down!!!
.
Hey kid, knock it off, you're bumming me out...
.
So, how are students around the country responding to the new, healthy alternatives inflicted upon them by the un-elected spouse of the President of the United States?

BREITBART.COM: Michelle Obama's School Lunch Program: $4 Million of Food Thrown in Trash Each Day.
"We don't want to have the most nutritious waste basket in the state or the country."
.
An investigative report by a Cincinnati TV station finds that the government's new school lunch requirements championed by First Lady Michelle Obama are wasting $4 million a day in discarded food that children won't eat.
.
The National School Lunch Program feeds upwards to 31 million American students a day, spending nearly $12 billion annually, but many of those children are throwing away the vegetables, fruits, and snacks forced on them by the new federal nutrition standards.
.
A new Harvard study of the program, WCPO Channel 9 reported, "shows that 60 percent of fresh vegetables and 40 percent of fresh fruit are being thrown away."
.
"And a recent study released by the National School Nutrition Association found 81.2 percent of schools surveyed indicated an increase in the amount of food being thrown away by students since the new nutrition standards went into effect two years ago," the televised report continued.
.
Nearly 600 school districts have already dropped out of the First Lady's lunch program, Fort Thomas Independent Schools in Northern Kentucky being one of them.
.
Fort Thomas School Superintendent Gene Kirchner pointed out that if the program is resulting in so much waste, then it is not very effective. "I have to think that across the country, it has to be a staggering amount of food going to waste, and I think there are people out there who could really use that food," he said.
.
In fact, according to one government study, over one million kids across the country have stopped eating lunch altogether after the new standards were imposed on their schools.
.
Welcome to the Obama's Fundamentally-Transformed America - yeah, it's how we roll...
Without the butter.

I awoke this morning at 4:02. For a change, it is not the whine of my wife's CPAP machine or the Darth Vader quality of her early morning breathing which wakes me up - but rather, it is something else all together. Coming fully awake from my Unisom Sleeptab induced doze I realize that there has been a massive disturbance in the Force, and I, like the good Jedi I am, know that I can not long resist investigating the origin of this cosmic shift.
.
I feed my little rescue dog, Sandy, and then I perch myself in front of my aging HP laptop at the dining room table to begin my search for the disturbance which has me awake, alert, and uneasy 90 minutes prior to my normal morning wake-up routine. It takes mere minutes to discover the source of my internal alarm - Michael Moore, 'progressive documentary filmmaker', has uttered a few of the words aloud stating that the President? Yeah, he's a Black guy...

Michael Moore Slams Obama: HIstory Will Only Remember You Were a Black President
.
"When the history is written of this era, this is how you'll be remembered: he was the first black president," Moore said during a discussion at The Hollywood Reporter's video lounge at the Toronto Film Festival.
.
"OK, not a bad accomplishment, but that's it," the director said. "That's it, Mr. Obama. 100 years from now, 'he was the first black American that got elected president' and that's it. Eight years of your life and that's what people are going to remember. Boy, I got a feeling, knowing you, that -- you'd probably wish you were remembered for a few other things, a few other things you could've done."
.
"So, it is, on that level, a big disappointment," Moore said.
.
The documentary filmmaker appeared at the Toronto festival for a screening of his acclaimed title Roger and Me, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. The film, centered on then GM CEO Roger Smith, kickstarted Moore's career in creating controversial political documentaries, including Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11 and Capitalism: A Love Story.
.
Go ahead, let these 'scathing comments' being reported online by Moore sink in for a moment, and then we'll get back to reality...
.
Okay, no Jedi mind-tricks here, let's just talk about what he actually says - what he gets right, and what he fails to see. (HINT: Michael Moore is an Wookie-sized idiot, so he's almost always going to get it 'wrong')
.
First, he says that President Obama will be remembered as the Nation's first 'Black President' - however, according to Toni Morrison, writing in the New Yorker Magazine (back in October, 1998), our SECOND Black President.
.
Our FIRST Black President, is now, and forever will be... William Jefferson Clinton.
.
.
Second, and this probably ought to be First (but I thought going back to President Clinton's 'Blackness' was funnier), Moore speculates that Barack Obama will ONLY be remembered for the color of his skin. I disagree.
.
The economic, political, and cultural wake left behind by this President will have an impact on America for hundreds of years to come. We will be paying the price for Barack Obama's 'legislative and policy accomplishments' through generations of children yet unborn.
.
Our Economy continues to wander listlessly more than four years after the official end of the 'Great Recession', our World Power status has been diminished as this President 'Leads from behind' on every international issue which arises during his Presidency, and lastly, with expanded welfare roles / doubling of disability claims / and the implementation of ObamaCare, we are raising a generation of kids and teenagers who see 'Federal Assistance' as their parents most trusted 'financial 'partner'. In the end, this leaves many of them completely unaware of what financial independence actually is.
.
The American Dream is on life support and President Obama holds a plug in one hand while in the other he holds a soft white pillow above the patient's slackened face.
.
Oh no, Mr. Moore, President Obama will not be remembered as the 'First Black President', instead, he will be remembered as the Imperial Emperor who built the first operational Death Star, capable of destroying Nations, Hope, and an entire planet's sense of Security. His genetic 'blackness' will be of no consequence when compared to the other marks he has left upon the Nation.
.
As generations of kids look at the America which he / we have bequeathed to them I only hope that one day they will ask, "Why did you let it happen while the Nation was in your care?" Because if they do not ask, they will not even realize what they have lost.
.
Third, On a lighter note (and by way of a helpful suggestion!) I would like to nominate Michael Moore to play 'Jabba the Hut' in the newest Star Wars film for two reasons: First, it will keep him from uttering sound bites like the one above to get attention for work he did TWENTY-FIVE years ago, and second, it seems like the perfect role for him.
I really think he can pull it off...
.
.
See?
Plus, with this outfit on, he actually appears thinner than he appears in real life. BONUS!
