Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

She was not. Virtually zero fat-shaming, doomed from the start.

So fat shaming should be part of any program?

They aren't exactly apples and oranges, they're pretty friggin close. Focused on eating more whole foods, improving school nutrition, better clarity on labelling.

Fox freaked the FO with Michelle’s Let’s Move. I am sure they are equal opportunity scrutiny in 2026.

I still remember when I was in high school (1983) and rfk made a visit to my home in the Black Hills. He got pretty sick on the flight. Probably the menu.

A Make America Healthy Again program? Acknowledging obesity is bad would be far better than pretending it is healthy and beautiful.

I strongly, strongly support a shift back towards higher protein diets, full fat dairy, and lots of fruits and vegetables and get added sugar the hell out of our food supply. Michelle argued for more grains and veggies and kinda implied less meat.

You had me at whole milk!

Acknowledging obesity and fat shaming are completely different things!

It’s not so people eat better, it’s to stop rewarding companies for making food literally addictive and bad for us in spite of the obvious negative social impact.

While they do regulate ingredients that can be downright dangerous, they don’t regulate what you can purchase at the grocery store, per se. They do make it easier for a consumer to make informed decisions with scores prominently placed in the corner of packaged foods without having to interpret whether ingredients no human can pronounce will plug up their colon.
