Every time Michelle Obama talks about eating better

I eat junk food.  Really.  I'm a pretty healthy person-- no smoking, rarely drink, regular runs and lifting, avoid sun, never drive too fast (that one's relative)-- but eating well has always been my weak spot.  I like sweets but do my best to keep them at a minimum.  But every time I see a PSA from the President's wife telling me what to eat, I have this visceral need to do the opposite.

This morning I was checking the weather and saw a banner ad reminding me to move more and eat better.  I had already worked out so I couldn't undo that part of the spiel, but I was able to eat two Nestle crunch bars.

Michelle Obama might be the greatest person in the world, but I didn't vote for her.  I know her "Let's Move" campaign is directed at children, but kids are impressionable, malleable young things who can't think for themselves.  So for the children then-- I eat chocolate.
