Michelle Obama wants to remake s'mores
Replies

I've toasted a marshmallow over a candle before, and my marshmallow had the candle scent aftertaste. It worked though, but took a long time.0

so- the question is- if you microwave the chocolate and cracker with a marshmellow on it instead of camp fire roast- is it a smore still?
Wouldn't that ruin the cracker?
Still, no. No fire, no s'more. You must follow the recipe as we have all known it for eons.
eta - got a gas cooktop? Indoor s'mores.
No it doesn't ruin the cracker. It isn't as good but it is a fair substitute for someone who is pregnant during the winter and craving s'mores with no gas cooktop. Not that I would know or anything….*looks around*0 -

Dude, gross.0 -
She's basically calling a McDonalds Fruit and Yogurt parfait a s'more?
Oh hell no.0 -
I saved a pack of our Easter Peeps for our camping trip this week and have enjoyed peep s'mores a couple times already! They are seriously WAY better than regular marshmallow s'mores.
I may need to try adding a peanut butter cup to s'mores though. For science.0 -
Peeps are not marshmallows. Peeps are satan.0

She can call it what she wants but I won't be having a camp cookout with them anytime soon.
Try a s'more with nutella and peanut butter. Oh yeaaaaah, that's the right way to change a s'more.0 -

She's an "idiot" who has a way better looking body, and better fitness stamina, than I do, so obviously she knows something. Also, don't forget, every First Lady is hooked up with some sort of pet project. Michelle Obama's just happens to be healthy diet and being physically active. Considering the fact that most American kids are overweight, it seems like a noble goal. Anyway, I'll bow out now, since this will clearly take a very ugly political turn and I happen to like and respect the Obamas, so...yeah.
As many other have said, having a "good body look" means nothing. I know power-lifters who are triple my size & weight and have more stamina than anyone I know. Along with good vitals per checkups to go along with it.... and they are not ripped by any means.
Kids are overweight because of the crap parents feed them at home.
Example: It's baseball night.... mommy doesn't want to cook.... so she runs through a fast food joint and buys the family dinner. Her son eats a hamburger, fry, and has a pop (not diet). Not to mention the snacks he probably had once he got home before he had to go to baseball.
Some kids in America only get food at school. That's a hard fact that can't be disputed. So taking their food away and limiting them to.... small amounts of crap, is utter nonsense.0 -

No offense, but having a better body than someone else is not some sort of nutrition credential.
But surely you are aware that she has nutritionists and medical advisers at her disposal, no?Her initiatives have mostly been idiotic.
This is merely an opinion. It doesn't necessarily make it fact. Her ideas are not a failure. They're not even her original ideas.She has been known to eat junk food so why is she telling everyone else they can't?
I don't recall her ever saying people can't. She is presenting options to people who choose to eat healthier.And studies have shown that telling people they "can't eat X" isn't effective anyway.
The USDA sets the nutritional guidelines for public school lunches. Each school district is given the freedom to create menus at their own discretion. If one school is working some really great food into the calorie and macros budget and one is giving kids craptastic cheese blocks, tater tots, a slice of baloney, and a chocolate milk then blame the school district, not Michelle Obama.

I honestly don't see what the big deal is. You either choose to eat s'more the old fashion way or try the remake presented here. No one is forcing anyone to do anything.0

well said. she has great arms and shoulders. she is a great role model.
I agree with a body like that at her age this woman must know something. She had that body prior to the white house. But it looks like a tasty remake.0 -

It wouldn't be so bad if she weren't such a damn hypocrite about food.0

I've been inspired by this thread to make a smore with Oreos in place of graham crackers and a Reese cup in place of Hershey chocolate. It will have a marshmallow and be made with fire so still a smore.
I will sing the national anthem while roasting the marshmallow, say a prayer for Ted Cruz as I bless it and call it the Freedom Smore.0 -

They are also really good when you replace the graham crackers with those cookies with the thick, real chocolate on top. Just add marshmallow. You can get ones with caramel inside too. I can't think of the brand.

It could be tasty but not a s'more.
I like mine with dark chocolate and coconut marshmallows.0 -
I know S'mores can be a divisive delicious topic, but please keep political opinions of all kinds off the forums, otherwise we have to close the thread.

I love s'mores with Cadbury's although Hersey's is good too. It needs the chocolate though.0
-
Yeah, I'm definitely not impressed either. !!!She wants to replace the chocolate and marshmallows with vanilla yogurt and strawberries, thus turning a s'more into not a s'more. No thank you.
