Shakeyhands Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 I can hardly believe these Republicans. Why must the discourse always seem to be dragged to this sort of level. I don't think there is any question that obeisity is a huge and growing issue in the US (North America actually) and this is the sort of response we get from the right? Political points at any cost?

Jack Weber Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Do they really hate her skin colour that much? Really? Did you see some of the Tea Party nutters?? I rememebr some con commentary a few years back describing her as looking like a chimpanzee... Equating blacks with lower hominids... What's next?? David Duke running for President??

bush_cheney2004 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 I remember when some people compared George Bush to a chimpanzee...still do. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Shady Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Professor,please stay on topic... Isn't the topic your hypocrisy? Singling out one set of protesters, while giving a pass to another? All over politics. Yeah, that's what I thought. I'd wanna move on to another topic if I were you too. Quote
Shady Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 I remember when some people compared George Bush to a chimpanzee...still do. Yeah, but they're "progressives." So they get a pass. Quote

She's the definition of nanny-state. Well, when you put it that way, the morbidly obese drug addict's criticism of her appearance and eating habits makes total sense. Oh wait: no it doesn't. Quote

What are the differences between Wisconsin protesters calling Walker Hitler, Mussolini, Mubarak, and drawing gun targets over him and the few signs at Tea Party protests? Please enlighten us. Quote

Michelle Obama’s Healthy Food Campaign Michelle Obama’s Agenda Includes Healthful Eating Restaurant Nutrition Draws Focus of First Lady So what we have learned from this is that you don't really know what the phrase "nanny state" means. Promoting healthy food choices /= telling everyone what they can eat and what they cannot eat (which implies some kind of coercive measures.) Edited February 24, 2011 by Black Dog Quote

Promoting healthy food choices /= telling everyone what they can eat and what they cannot eat. No, perhaps you don't really know what the phrase "nanny state" means. WASHINGTON — After wrapping her arms around the retail giant Wal-Mart and trying to cajole food makers into producing nutrition labels that are easier to understand, Michelle Obama, the first lady and a healthy-eating advocate, has her sights set on a new target: the nation’s restaurants. It's one thing to campaign for healthy food choices. It's quite another thing to pressure and cajole food makers, and now private restaurants to conform to her food and nutrition opinions. Quote

It's quite another thing to pressure and cajole food makers, and now private restaurants to conform to her food and nutrition opinions. It all depends on your source. By many accounts, Wal Mart stepped up to the plate. Really, though, I don't see the problem. If we can make the same food with less salt and fat (and the Canadian Government is currently trying to bring in legislation to force) then I don't see the drawback. This is unbelievable.
