A topic that I have been following since the beginning of the Obama Administration is Michelle Obama's plan to fight childhood obesity. Of course, there are problems with hunger all over the world, but it is only recently that people realize how much of a problem food is on our own doorstep. I truly appreciate our First Lady's efforts in making us more aware of the nutrition we consume on a daily basis. She realizes that not everyone can afford or have access to organic or sustainably grown groceries, yet she believes that through a little education, we can treat our bodies with more respect.
So I have really been appalled with the recent comments that Rush Limbaugh has made about the Obama administration's food policy. His most recent comment was on the news recently. He was scandalized because Michelle Obama was eating ribs, therefore going against everything she stands for. Really? Of course, I believe Limbaugh is mostly doing this for the media attention, and clearly it is working. But you have to wonder how someone so hateful and uninformed could be in a position of such media power.
To see what I mean, here is a link called "The 12 Most Asinine Things Rush Limbaugh Has Said about Food". If you are not familiar with Limbaugh, prepared to be shocked, and somewhat disgusted. Personally, I couldn't stop laughing at the absurdity of it all!
