Default Mrs. Obama is out to 'wipe out childhood obesity'...why isn't she going after...

...the fast food restaurants? Clearly, there are more obese children hoofing around these days than ever before. The culprit? Micky D's, BK, KFC, etc...Kids chow down on this stuff because that's what their parents buy them to fill their fat little guts. Does anyone really think this issue is more complicated than that? Along with staring at the TV for 8 hours a day, fast food kills...Hey, Mrs. Obama, tell your hubby to tell McDonalds to stop advertising to little fat kids and you'll be half way to your goal...[url]http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100209/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_michelle_obama_obesity[/url]

Because if she attacked fast food and made her ad negative, instead of focusing on the positive, it would be ignored.

The culprit is the parents and nobody else.Nobody puts a gun in your face and forces you to eat fast food. It is much cheaper to buy groceriers and cook for yourself. Parents are lazy and give their kids junk. It is 100% the parent's fault.Blaming fast food for fat kids is no different than blaming your pencil for a spelling mistake.
