Eat This, Michelle!

This Sunday, on "Sarah Palin's Alaska", Palin again took aim at First Lady Michelle Obama's efforts to fight youth obesity.

Sarah Palin on personal responsibility:

Sarah Palin is again taking aim at Michelle Obama over her anti-obesity campaign, taking the opportunity in Sunday's "Sarah Palin's Alaska" to land a diss against the first lady's efforts to improve nutrition.

In a scene shown making s'mores, the former Alaska governor proclaims the marshmallow and chocolate treat is "in honor of Michelle Obama, who said the other day we should not have dessert."

You might wonder: When did Michelle Obama say that?

Politicker explains:

Palin's comments Sunday appear to be in reference to a speech Michelle Obama delivered in July, during which she described her own upbringing when it came to food and exercise.

"In the afternoon, there was no way we'd be allowed to lie around the house watching TV," she told the NAACP in a Kansas City speech. "Our parents made us get up and play outside."

"As I tell my kids, dessert is not a right," she added.

To quote a friend of the site's, a lifelong and multigenerational Republican: "I have to wonder why Palin isn’t known exclusively for being the worst mother in Wasilla, Alaska."
