michelle obama and her food thing

ok, look. i don't really have a problem with it if michelle obama wants everybody (except her and her family on super bowl sunday) to eat right.

i don't blame her for not eating right on super bowl sunday. who eats right on super bowl sunday?

i also don't really have a problem with her trying to get american restaurants to be less american but i do have a problem with the american government trying to get american restaurants to be less american.

when american governments - fed, state, or local - start telling restaurants how much salt and grease to use, that ticks me off.

except why should it tick me off? american governments tell restaurants all the time how cold they gotta keep the food and how hot they gotta keep the food and whether or not the counter they're choppin' the chicken on is clean enough. so why not tell restaurants how much salt and grease to use?

the other thing is, michelle obama is not the government.

but the other thing is, she's married to it. and that's gettin' a little too close for my comfort.

and the other thing is, if laura bush can tell school kids that reading is good for them, why can't michelle obama tell school kids that eating fries 24/7 isn't good for them?

but the other thing is, i would rather michelle obama not spend so many of my tax dollars flying her family around on fancy planes.

especially if those planes have burgers on them.
