Sarah Palin is again taking aim at Michelle Obama over her anti-obesity campaign, taking the opportunity in Sunday's "Sarah Palin's Alaska" to land a diss against the first lady's efforts to improve nutrition.I like Sarah going after Michelle, but she needs to stop getting riled over constructive criticism from fellow Republican pundits. It makes her look petty.
While making s'mores at one point during Sunday's episode, the former Alaska governor proclaims the marshmallow and chocolate treat is "in honor of Michelle Obama, who said the other day we should not have dessert."
It's not the first time Palin has taken a jab at Mrs. Obama over her campaign to discourage fattening foods, especially from public schools. The former vice presidential nominee told conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham last month that "the first lady cannot trust parents to make decisions for their own children, for their own families in what we should eat."
Palin also hand-delivered cookies to a Pennsylvania school last month before delivering a speech there, saying: "Who should be deciding what I eat? Should it be government or should it be parents? It should be the parents."

Michelle Obama is not saying that parents can not decide what their children should eat. Sarah Palin is completely taking this out of context. Again she is outright lying. Michelle Obama's aim is to educate people on good nutrition. As for schools I personally do not them to be feeding my kid high fat and high sugar junk foods - especially since I am trying to teach them how to eat a healthy diet. I applaud Obama for her work on educating people on the importance of eating healthy.
ReplyDeleteI second the above comment. It is clear that healthy eating should be promoted at every opportunity, taking an opposing stance on such an obvious point because your 'opponent' made it has given me the impression that ms palin is so keen to ridicule her opponent she is willing to take poor political standpoints in order to do it. I'm not American and, as such, i have no allegiance to one party over another - but, from what i have seen, this kind of attitude is all too common in american politics of either party. its like watching toddlers argue at times.
