Michelle Obama: ‘That's Why We Start With Kids, Right? We Can Affect Who They Will Be Forever’

(CNSNews.com) - First Lady Michelle Obama said yesterday that the government can affect who kids “will be forever” if it can shape their "habits and preferences" during the large part of the day they are at school.

Mrs. Obama was speaking on the South Lawn of the White House at a reception to honor schools that met the goals of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s HealthierUS School Challenge (HUSSC). The USDA Web site describes HUSSC as “a voluntary initiative established in 2004 to recognize those schools participating in the National School Lunch Program that have created healthier school environments through promotion of nutrition and physical activity.” The program has since been rolled into Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative.

“When many kids spend half of their waking hours and get up to half their daily calories at school, you know that with the food you serve and, more importantly, the lessons you teach that you're not just shaping their habits and preferences today, you’re affecting the choices they’re going to make for the rest of their lives,” said Mrs. Obama.

That is so profound, so deeply stirring.

 

I wonder why no one in history has ever thought of that before.

 

You mean parental guidance, behavior, and role modeling really does affect children?

Just like you see demonstrated every day on the streets of Southside Chicago... the fruit of 50+ years of liberal politics and street organizers like the Zer0.

Since we are in Bizarro World, Randy, we would need of course the reverse of the well known Jaws of Life. I propose something along the lines of the following approach:
