Eh.

I'm not seeing any reason to not like this, really. One paragraph looks really bad if you take it out of context, but the idea behind the article is that YOU can shop better, not force the store to SELL you better.

How's that low flow toilet working out for you? Are you glad Congress decided you weren't smart enough to pick out your own crapper?

Easy Solution!! Just prohibit sugar, salt and Crisco from food stamp eligibility!!

I agree, "fructose is a poison."

This article and the low-flow-pieceofcrapper that I have are two very different things. Nowhere in this article do I see mention of government regulation of foods mentioned. What I do see is this:

As CNSNews.com

_previously reported, Mrs. Obama’s *Lets Move!* campaign has published an online guide called *Supermarket Shopping 101* that provides tips for shoppers on the importance of making a list and how to navigate a grocery store.
*Steer clear of the cookie, snack and soda aisle until after you’ve collected everything on your list--at that point, your cart should be full, which might make you feel less tempted to buy things you don’t need,* the guide states.

While I do see this:

(CNSNews.com) – Asked by Parade magazine, "What do you hope to accomplish in your second term?* First Lady Michelle Obama said she wants to "impact the nature of food in grocery stores" with the aim of cutting sugar, fat and salt.

I think it's being interpreted a *bit* widely. Granted, there is precedence to worry about what the Obamas may do to acheive such a goal, however it doesn't seem to me that they have said they will regulate it away. Not yet anyway.

My beef is the assumption by her that we are not intelligent enough to know how to grocery shop for ourselves.

Its a forgivable error. She apparently she doesn't know how either, and she just made the natural assumption that nobody else does.

That may be the case, but I assure you the target audience is probably 75% shopping-incompetent. You know, the greasy Frito-Lays type with 8 kids under the age of 11.

That's true. But if you allow the government to be their mothers, you can't stop them from being your mother. And liberals "concern" is always the first step towards regulation (see toilets above).

I can see both sides of the argument. If I have to pay for their ****ing health care, I'd love to see someone regulate what they can eat.

If you get welfare, you get drug tested.
If you get food stamps, you can only buy healthy foods.
If you are on medicare/medicaid, you have to maintain a level of healthiness or be dropped.

That would save the government tons of money. And if you want the right to choose...get a job and pay taxes.
