First Lady Michelle Obama’s health advocacy is not just a moral crusade for thinner waists. You see, Michelle isn’t just some nice lady with a big heart. Michelle is the government. And her advocacy therefore constitutes government interference in our lives. Mrs. Obama has abetted the creation of an attitude that the government has the right, and even the obligation, to regulate what you eat. White House Dossier
