SPAlaska: Sarah Palin Takes a Gratuitous Shot at Michelle Obama’s Anti-Obesity Initiative

video
» 123 comments

Just last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin took justified exception at the media’s petty sniping over her visit to Haiti, when she was just trying to do some good. In a neat, if predictable, reversal, Sarah Palin took to sniping at First Lady Michelle Obama‘s attempt to fight childhood obesity. On the latest episode of Sarah Palin’s Alaska, Palin roots around for the three ingredients for S’mores (a list that conveniently fits on the palm of her hand), and dedicates the snack to Michelle Obama “who said the other day we should not have dessert.”

This isn’t Palin’s first foray into snacktivism, and it probably won’t be the last, but what’s the big frickin’ deal?

Here’s the clip, from TLC:




Now, it’s true that Michelle Obama never flatly declared that “we should not have dessert,” but then again, Sarah Palin never actually said “I can see Russia from my house,” so let’s call that a wash. The First Lady did say that dessert wasn’t a right (in her mother’s house), but a strict constructionist like Palin shouldn’t have a problem with that.

Given that Palin’s a member of a party whose idea of healthin’ up school lunches is to classify ketchup as a vegetable, none of this should surprise anyone.

In further fairness to Palin, she’s certainly not the only right-winger to see the First Lady’s “Let’s Move” initiative as anything from a grievous insult to a commie plot, and attacking Michelle Obama for daring to eat stuff. See, if you try to make information available about healthy eating, that means you must never, ever haz cheeseburger!

The funny thing is, I don’t remember anyone saying a peep about the Presidential Fitness Awards when I was a kid. I know, because I thought they were effing stupid. What is the point of doing 125 sit-ups? After about the first five, I had pretty much mastered the skill. To this day, no one has been able to explain to me the practical application of the jumping jack. I’ve been waiting my entire life to be surprise-attacked, simultaneously, by a pair of cockroaches and a divebombing mosquito, but it hasn’t happened yet. When it does, though, I’ve got Ralph Macchio beat all to hell.

Still, after my gym teacher said I could pretend that the wood blocks for the shuttle run were high explosives if I “really needed to,” I did it. Why? Because what’s the harm, and I got a cool patch at the end. The patch got thrown into a pile of other patches that would never get sewn to anything, but it was still pretty cool.

In  all that time, though, I don’t recall anyone accusing Presidents Ford, Carter, or Reagan of trying to usurp parental authority, or engage in some sort of cultural elitism, or criticizing them for not doing any chin-ups, ever!

Granted, the President’s Council on Fitness and Sports has now been expanded to include nutrition, but I fail to see how that elevates this from innocuous feel-good policy to DefCon Evil. The Information Age has made our children’s lives more and more sedentary, and so the occasional apple-for-Ring-Ding swap is not the liberty-crushing fist of oppression that Sarah Palin thinks it is.

There will always be overreaches in one direction (Happy Meal bans) or another (the imaginary Skinwich’s real-life cousin, the Double-Down), but those are largely self-correcting.Letting people know what’s in their food, keeping poison out of it, and making sure our public schools have a healthy selection of it are reasonable expectations of our government. We still retain the right to have our Butterscotch Krimpets pried from our cold, dead, greasy fingers.

    Of courrse Mama Grizzly would like you to be fat and obese because you can do what you want (it’s a free country). Get fat, be lazy have diabetes at 13, it’s your life who cares

    “Given that Palin’s a member of a party whose idea of healthin’ up school lunches is to classify ketchup as a vegetable, none of this should surprise anyone.” Ridiculous assertion. We all know that ketchup is a fruit.

  • TfT

    I don’t know Tommy, maybe it was because of Michelle’s over reaching statement:

    “Speaking at Monday’s signing ceremony for the “Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act”– a law that will subsidize and regulate what children eat before school, at lunch, after school, and during summer vacations in federally funded school-based feeding programs — First Lady Michelle Obama said of deciding what American children should eat: “We can’t just leave it up to the parents.”

    I would suggest that Sarah does not agree with Michelle’s overreach here: “we can’t leave it to the parents” statement.

    A gratuitious shot might be an article, a quip or joke is not. I saw this on the Today Show, not just here. What is wrong with the media, isn’t anything interesting happening on Palin’s TV show?

    Well hey with IHS picking up the slack for one kid and the American taxpayers for another why not shove bad food down their throats. I can’t wait for my insurance premiums to skyrocket when all these chubsters hit the pool a few years down the road.

    I love how just trying to better yourself (eating right, not being an asshole to the environment) is always labeled a “socialist conspiracy” by the ignorant rednecks….

  • Harry Flashman

    Gratuitous shot or preemptive strike?

    By now Palin is so aware that the leftist media will grab at anything she does she may well have known that someone out there would make a deal of her abusing her children with the evils of sweets. After all, they howl when she doesn’t have them with her, then they howl she abandons them when she doesn’t. No point is too petty. She just headed the criticism off at the pass.

    After the beatings Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush took at the hands of the media a crack at Michelle Obama’s efforts to be the food police is pretty tame stuff.

    Is she off limits to criticisms?

    KING on the prowl . I agree completely with you , my illiterate friend . I was thinking of the filthy , nasty Palin children last night . I was out at the dumpster behind my rooming house , gulping PBR forties as fast I could pot the tops , looking in the trash for some treasures . I was telling my roommate , Short Mort , about the Palin family and how I hate them and told him some of my hilarious nicknames for the brats . Mort burped his approval as we foraged on . Another beautiful night .

    Tommy… I call Shinanigans! Why did you link to Gavins veto as an exaple of an overreach??? That makes NO sence. The overreach link is the passage of the legislation OR the the woman who originall sponcered the bill AND the San Fran city counsel WHO ARE STILL sueing McDonalds to stop happy meals from being sold to her kid.

    “Granted, the President’s Council on Fitness and Sports has now been expanded to include nutrition, but I fail to see how that elevates this from innocuous feel-good policy to DefCon Evil.”

    I serve on a school board. Democrats just passed a school lunch bill that greatly “elevates” the federal government’s control over – sigh – lunchtime. The President, his wife and Congress are now planning our school lunches. National school board groups opposed the bill. We’re scrambling to figure out how much all of this new “help” will hurt us.

    Oh, and coming soon: School Supper. Seriously.

    I actually agree that school lunches should be healthier. But they’re our kids. We can do it ourselves. I don’t need nor want the President of the United States to be wasting time on this just so the Misses can have something to “advocate.”

    All the Marys in Heaven, let’s not consider science. No physiology here, please.

    Of course, by your standard we can measure trashiness by the weight of the make-up each applies and the hair spray each uses. The Drop Out Governor wins that hands down. All the Marys in Heaven, she use more make-up in a day that Ms. Obama does in a year. Drop Out Governor #1!

    you idiot. if you listened to the entire thing, michelle was saying we can’t leave it to the parents “because when out kids spend so much of their time in school…many kids get over half their daily calories in school, it’s clear that we as a nation have a responsibility as well we can’t just leave it up to the parents”

    you’re worse than glen beck and andy britebart…f’n clown.

    Well, MORE food for the kids who aren’t fed by their parents. “Healthier” subsidized foods for all. And, instead of parents having to actually sign up for the school to feed their kids free meals, the government will do it automatically, based on Medicaid eligibility! How’s that for service? Why? Because too many parents were not bothering to do it themselves. Much like the government has to spend millions to give away the millions allocated for free health care.

    But remember, America’s treatment of the poor is “draconian.”

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Antony-Dupuy/1194612935 Antony Dupuy

    I don’t have a problem with the First Lady, or anyone for that matter, taking an interest in the plague of childhood obesity.

    What I do, however, have a problem with is the naive, conceited idea that ANOTHER GOVERNMENT PROGRAM IS THE SOLUTION.

    The money allocated for her Child Nutrition Bill, like every other bill, will be used to to succor the petty, selfish indulgences of overpaid, over-privileged government workers, Check-off Charlies, pederast congressman, and senatorial monarchs (Murkowski, anyone?).

    Look, I agree there are some really shitty parents out there. But personally I can’t live with myself knowing there are hungry kids out there because their parents suck. It’s not their fault and depending on age not much they can do to help themselves. So if my tax dollars go towards those kids getting at least one good meal a day, I can live with that.

    And as far as making sure it’s nutritional? WTF is the problem with that? Socialism you say? Well it’s not like they’re gonna come into “your” house and search your refrigerator and haul you off if you don’t have any apples in it. Maybe they should do that to the POS parents, but then there’s a whole new argument.

    I use to work in a grocery store as a checkout clerk many years ago and it did even at that young of an age drive me insane to see what some of those people bought with their food stamps. So, in that regard I think there should be more restriction on what and what cannot be bought with them. Don’t know how that could be feasibly made to be inforced but seems in this day and age with computerized scanning and such somehow software can be made that you would have to scan your access card first and then any such not allowable item scanned would be rejected.

  • Truth

    Why can’t Sarah just leave this kind of stuff alone. It does no good for her career. It’s a public fact that we are having youth obesity problems in this country. It should not even be a political issue. Its like smoking and drugs the best defense is educatiing the kids and attempt at least to remove some of the temptation. Ultimately it is a parent learning to say no their children. Sarah will always have her handful of followers, but this is another case of hoof and mouth. Being a rogue is easy, knowing when to speak is an art.

    Well, if he has kids in school, or pays school taxes, or pays federal taxes, it’s about him personally.

    And it’s about more than school lunches (and the new ‘school dinners’.) It’s about ANY food or beverage on school property. And bake sales. And class parties. (At least that’s what they’re telling me, as a school board member, about the last part.) It’s going to require time and effort, and money, to comply with the new mandates. Luckily, there are no other pressing issues involving the education of American children, so it’s cool. We have time to kill.

    Well stated. I just got the info to on what’s coming at the last meeting of our school board.

    And you are EXACTLY right. It isn’t just what is furnished by the school. And they aren’t restricting it to bake sales and class parties either. They are talking about outlawing certain items on school property period.

    My child might give/trade/sell/furnish your child with something you don’t want them to have so the easiest way they see to handle it is to take it to the next step and just keep it off the campus.

    Really?

    What really amuses me however is all the foaming self righteous blabber that is designed to give the impression that all the Left will eat is from Whole Foods. If Michael Moore is any indication, being Leftist doesnt improve one’s eating habits. Maybe he should call Limbaugh who seems to have been able to get himself to a more a healthy weight?

    Seriously Lefties, have a smore sometime, theyre great. If you choose to eat what is currently thought as “healthy” thats great too. Just please relax on writing all those laws to make everyone eat the same way you do (or claim to anyway.)

    I’m reminded of the liberal utopia pictured in Stallone’s “Demolition Man” where unfrozen cop John Spartan finds he has been resurrected into a society where people say “mellow greetings”, have nothing but cybersex, and outlaw any food that is “bad for you”. Pure unadulterated cautionary tale genius.

    Better lunch menus…….when was the last school board meeting you attended? When did you last run or serve on said board? When was your last trip to meet with the school officials at your children’s school to discuss menu planning?

It’s easier to be bitchy to First Lady Obama over a garden at the White House or trying to improve the poor quality of food in the public school systems than it is to offer up a solution. To acknowledge that our children are less healthy today than they were years ago.

    Now, if a parent wants to buy their kid crap food and feed it to them in the car or at home, they still can. But you can’t really win an argument when your side is “But, I want my kid to eat the high-fat meat rather than the lean meat!” or “But, my kid’s lunch always has Twinkies in it!”

    The entireity of the anti-obesity program exemplifies the continual and pervasive encroachment on the lives of individuals. Some may wish for government to always be there to direct every aspect of their lives but those of us who are individuals eschew the nanny state. The fact is, we are allegedly grown ups and thus should be capable of running our own lives and directing our own affairs.

    I recently heard of a woman who was attempting to launch a class action lawsuit againts McDonalds because their food makes her and her children fat. You would think that McDonalds had somehow trapped her and forced her to pull into their parking lot, go inside with her children, and order fattening food.

    Just as all rational people do, when I see a program on TV that I don’t like, I turn it off. If I decide to drink some Scotch, I don’t drive. If I believe fattening food is detrimental to my health–and waistline–I don’t eat it.

    There are two things that parents can do to keep their children from becoming obese: 1. When they clamor for too much fattening food, be a parent and say “NO.” 2. They can pry their children away from the TV and game station and take them outside for exercise…and, if the parents are obese, they can join them in doing something active and healthy.

    The sooner we wake up and look at things pragmatically, the sooner we can get past the blame game.

    Long story short: When the millions of parents don’t make that decision for whatever reason, being ignorance, social economic, or laziness. The children ultimately pay then we the American people pick up the bill down the road.

  • Michael Charles

    I’m a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight…..

    If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you’re “exotic, different.”

    Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, a quintessential American story.
    If your name is Barack you’re a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

    Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you’re a maverick.
    Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

    Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you’re well grounded.

    If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees, you don’t have any real leadership experience.

    If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you’re qualified to become the country’s President.

    If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you’re not a real Christian.

    If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married heiress Cindy the next month, you’re a Christian.

    If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

    If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state’s school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you’re very responsible.

    If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family’s values don’t represent America’s.

    If you’re husband is nicknamed “First Dude”, with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn’t register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.

    OK, much clearer now.

Better lunch menus…….when was the last school board meeting you attended? When did you last run or serve on said board? When was your last trip to meet with the school officials at your children’s school to discuss menu planning? Gym class? Wanna take a guess who got gym thrown out of our schools? Please. You want folks like Michelle “My ass is as big as Montana” Obama to tell folks what to eat……how about she drops a ton or two….just get down to destroyer weight…or frigate…..and get the prez to quit sucking butts and then tell me how to run my life. How about they stay the hell out of folks lives and try doing something they are supposed to be doing? Maybe if folks encouraged their kids to ge off their butts and do like we did….play outside from dawn to dusk and later…we wouldn’t have Thunder Thighs trying to regulate everyone’s dinner table.

    I’m sorry for you and your emotional issues

    Long story short: When the millions of parents don’t make that decision for whatever reason, being ignorance, social economic, or laziness. The children ultimately pay then we the American people pick up the bill down the road.
    Michelle Obama seems to be interested in being part of the solution. Who knows what Palin is interested in…

    The government is not our nanny. If people are going to bring children into the world, it is their responsibility to bring them up correctly. This sometimes means being an authority figure.

    BUT, I’m willing to meet you half way on this: How about we penalize the parents who allow their children to become fat asses? It’s certainly not MY fault if parents don’t raise their children well and I don’t really think it’s yours.

    It’s an odd thing to see how more and more people believe government should step in and take responsibility for our lives. While it may seem nice to have a government look after us, it invariably results in the loss of freedom. I cannot speak for others but I am reluctant to lose any more of my freedom.

    You would be surprised how many parents do not understand proper nutrition.  However it is never too late to learn.  A nation is only as healthy as its people.

    They do need better parents, but if you’re pro-life, it is your job to keep the little boogers alive.

    No one can control what you think just as no one can control what you pray.

    Palins comments are childish and immature.  Think of a person like that having access to the red button.
