In yet another “Do as I say, not as I do” moment, Michelle Obama presents herself as a valiant warrior against childhood obesity. But now Michelle Malkin reveals that the First Lady wasn’t quite such a warrior when she sat on the board of directors of a large snack food company.
Take it away, Ms Malkin:
While she crusades for organic foods and puts government pressure on corporations to stop marketing fast food and junk food to children, Mrs. Obama herself profited from the very same processed food industry she now demonizes.
In June 2005, a few months after her husband was elected to the U.S. Senate, Mrs. Obama hustled a seat on the corporate Board of Directors of TreeHouse Foods, Inc. Despite zero experience, the food-processing company put her on its audit and nominating and corporate governance committees. For her on-the-job training and the privilege of putting her name and face on their literature, the company forked over $45,000 in 2005 and $51,200 in 2006 to Mrs. Obama — as well as 7,500 TreeHouse stock options worth more than $72,000 for each year.
Mmmmmm, processed foods dipped in a thick, rich coat of hypocrisy. Sounds delicious.

Don't want to be a fat man, people would think that I was just good fun.
I would rather be a thin man, I am so glad to go on being one.
It's too much to carry around with you, and then there's no chance of finding a woman new, who would love you in the morning and all the night time too.
I don't want to be a fat man, I haven't the patience to ignore all that.
I hate to admit it to myself, but half of my problems came from being fat.
Won't waste my time feeling sorry for it. I seen the other side through being thin.
Roll us both down a mountain, and I'm sure the fat man would win.

mr mojo risin-we are gonna be singing one of your songs to michelle and her closeted husband come November- THE END!
By the way-one of my favorites of yours(You are the ghost of Jim aren't you?)
I am sick of her and her calling her own daughters fat. She and all of her ilk are bad people. Obesity IS a problem but they aren't really providing solutions they are double talkers.
I am a personal trainer and my girlfriend is a 3rd grade teacher, and the rising obesity rates are staggering. People need to quit relying on the government, and take charge of their children's health. This story illustrates that point perfectly.
She didn't get that ass eating lettuce and tofu.
The obamas don't eat lettuce they eat arugula! ;-)
Oh and LOLZ to your comment :)
Pot. Kettle. Black.
That certainly explains the linebacker look.
