Why we call them Freedom Haters - today's edition

Mrs. MEC will not brook alternatives to federal control over what's going in the mouths of the nation's schoolchildren:

"This is unacceptable," she said during a roundtable discussion of the issue. “It's unacceptable to me not just as First Lady but also as a mother."

The strict rules, passed in 2010, limit the amount of fat, calories, sugar, and sodium served in school meals.

House Republicans are supporting a measure that would allow some school districts to opt out of the standards — if they can prove that it is affecting their school budgets.

The First Lady pointed out that since the regulations, kids in the United States were eating more fruits and vegetables.

"The last thing we can afford to do right now is play politics with our kids' health,” she added. “Now is not the time to roll back everything we have worked for."

Never mind that kids routinely throw Michelle's rabbit food away.  They must have it forced down their throats, because the post-American, post-gender, post-Judeo-Christian cattle-masses must be fit and beaming.  It's essential to the collective self-esteem of the uber-state.
