Oh, man!! You’re a real winner, aren’t you! WTF do you know about heaven or or anything about God, you gullable fool! Don’t talk to me about God or salvation when you’re ignorant enough to believe mlk was some hero! You don’t have a clue (obviously) what this woman is up to. Just save it lady……I don’t want to hear your banter.

zeroptb: You shouldn’t be criticizing the first lady for wanting to help people who are crying out for help. Martin Luther King once said there are children of light and children of darkness, you certainly come under the banner child of darkness! But you can change if you want to, it really is your decision where you finally end up, heaven or hell!

It is good to point out the rigors of transporting oneself–taxi cab rides, bus rides–just going out in society & confronting society and interacting in a healthy ways- and being able to be aware and awake-takes a lot of energy-and takes its toll on a person–this can be different for different people depending on their unique characteristics & circumstances, but it is stressful-and to go out & function in society, everywhere but especially in low income areas so it is good to recognize this.

If you see my …
If you see my earlier comments I mention getting more fresh/organic fruits & Vegs on the market by having year round greenhouse, growth & cultivation centers-inside or outside cities-inner city ones could take up city blocks & be multilevel, green house type structures-& then jobs could be created for people to cultivate food-and run markets within these centers-& maybe even have living quarters for workers who work there-but make a wide flexible work plans to accommodate different peoples-

Dear Mrs Obama,
All that is good but what would make the biggest impact on health in this country is cleaning up the fast food chains. Your solutions are the band-aid, fast food is the problem. No trans fat nationwide and limits on fat/sugar content per combo meal and per item please.

How about you stop subsidizing corn and wheat? Not only does that get rid of sugar, but cheap grain for factory meat farms too. Curb fructose and fast food!

Its a money thing. Nothing is going to change until greasy fast-food chains are replaced by healthy markets. Certain fast food should be Illegal–Wendys, McDonalds, Burger King or any food that contains enough fat, lard and salt to kill a person. Seriously, is a deep fryer really necessary anymore?

To the First Lady,
What concerns me most is the toxins that china keeps putting in our products..When we opened trade with China we should have required them to do so by our moral and ethical standard..
I expect that our FDA and Consumer Products Commissions SHOULD CONTINUE TO RAISE COSTS for the chinese\multi national corporations including our own, In the form of inspection tarriffs…
Poison in our child’s toys and other such goods is an act of war on the part of China.

It’s a KFC and McDonalds nation-what do you expect? You try to change people’s fast food nation mania – it will get you NO WHERE and even the “Heart Attack Grill” which serves nothing but PURE LARD in everything, is making millions of dollars. People are downright PROUD to down an Asystole burger or flat liner fries. And get wheeled out by a sexy nurse. Look on the bright side: It’s population control. Just lower the cost of smoking, please!
