Michelle Obama wants to remake s'mores

amusedmonkey

I don't see the big deal. Zucchini pasta is not pasta, and I would never replace pasta with it, but I love the damn thing and crave it sometimes. Those "s'mores" sound delicious. I should try them sometime. There is nothing wrong with having a lower calorie snack when my calorie budget can't afford something more calorific.

First Lady Michelle Obama is a great advocate for our kids and americans in general to get our bodies to move more and put nutritional food into it.

Sorry, had my post all set up and nice and polite and all. I didn't realize the ban on political stuff so I pulled it. Sorry all.

To many sheeple, I mean people, like the Obamas.

Hm, never seen her say can't.

I've seen her say shouldn't however.

Those are two very different terms with specific definitions. We wouldn't get them confused, would we?

Totally. Some of these posts are making it sounds like she's personally kicking down doors and snatching chocolate and marshmallows from our clutched fist, or having them removed from store shelves. Seems all very melodramatic to me.

Michelle Obama is saying chocolate and marshmallows aren't good for you, and is suggesting a healthier alternative. Whether or not you choose the healthier alternative is up to you. Am not sure what the outrage is about? It doesn't take a nutritionist to tell you that one is generally better for the other (not that I judge- there's nothing wrong with a sugary treat once in a while). Seems sort of like common sense to me.

I don't think many of the kids who are obese, have ever even had the experience of camping out, hiking all day, climbing over rocks and looking for firewood. And toasting a marshmallow over a dying campfire.

That is the problem right there. Not S'mores.

Sorry S'mores lovers, people couldn't leave politics out of it, so the thread is now closed.
