Michelle Obama has made her strongest political intervention since leaving the White House, stating bluntly at a health conference: Think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.
One of the former first ladys signature legacies was an effort to reduce childhood obesity. Earlier this month, Donald Trumps administration froze regulations that would cut sodium and increase whole grains served in school meals.
We have a lot more work to do, for sure, but weve got to make sure we dont let anybody take us back because the question is, where are we going back to? Obama told a Partnership for a Healthier America summit in Washington.
This is where you really have to look at motives, you know. You have to stop and think: why dont you want our kids to have good food at school? What is wrong with you?

If the menu at school gets too restrictive, too bland, the kids won't eat it. Instead, they'll bring junkier foods from home.
Michelle Obama accomplished a lot with this project. But the school employees are concerned the final step in sodium reduction is too far. Her best point should be taken to heart: Think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.

She may have been understandably pissed and they had to clean it up for airwaves, but I'm so glad to hear from her.
