Michelle Obama Declares War On Common Supermarket Food After receiving backlash on the extreme implementation of the Lets Move! Initiative into public school lunch programs, it looks like First Lady Michelle Obama has another agenda to push. According to Michelle, potatoes need to be cut out of American diets, and substituted instead with her approved choices of fruits and vegetables. Her campaign has already been criticized for being unrealistic, and it doesnt appear that she is doing anything to help her cause. In fact, thus far, her plan has left children more hungry and with less nutrients than they initially started out with. The problem is that many women and children already consume enough potatoes and not enough of the nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables they need, Michelle commented, Thats why the Institute of Medicinethe nonpartisan, scientific body that advises on the standards for WIC has said that potatoes should not be part of the WIC program.
