Fries with that? Now You'll need Parents' Permission as Michelle Obama unveils PG-rated meals at Olive Garden and Red Lobster
Not content with going after the nation's children, its grocery stores, the food pyramid and McDonalds, Michelle Obama is now going after the country's most beloved restaurant chains. Olive Garden, Red Lobster and its sister restaurants have pledged to serve healthier meals by cutting calories and sodium in its meals by 20 per cent over a decade. And if the little ones desire some French fries they will only be able to do so with adult supervision. Among promised changes for children, Darden Restaurants Inc said a fruit or vegetable side and low-fat milk will become

Stupid ugly bitch should practice what she preaches. Stuffing her face with a fat burger is rather hypocritical if you ask me.

That's how stupid this can get,
A small order of fries at McDonald's has 209 calories, 10 grams of fat of which 2gm is saturated, zero cholesterol, and 134 mg sodium.
A "vegetable side" could be almost anything vegetable, including a side of KFC mashed potatoes , which has 120 calories, 6 grams of fat (1 gm saturated) , 1 gram cholesterol , and 400mg sodium.
A low fat milk has 138 calories, 20 mg cholesterol, 5 gm fat of which 3 gm is saturated, 145 mg sodium.While you were hanging yourself , on someone else's words

when was the last time you saw a kid go into Red Lobster or Olive Garden without an adult? This is just stupidity.

Darden's is one of the companies granted a waiver on obamacare, unless I'm thinking of something else. Is this the thank you for receiving the waiver?

The upside to all of this is that in about a year she'll be gone and the restraunt chains will forget about any promises they made to her.

I don't see any big deal with this. Restaurants are voluntarily providing healthier food on their children's menus. The First Lady supports this. No federal laws were put in place to enforce this, a company decided to do it.
It's hardly the end of anyone's freedom to eat unhealthy crap in the USA, except children, who have the rights given to them by their parents regardless of the restaurant's policy.
