Mars Candy Bars and Michelle Obama

This is idiotic.

How does making candy bars smaller help in battling obesity?

The size of the bar doesn't matter.

That won't limit the amount of candy one chooses to consume.

JUST EAT MORE THAN ONE.

Of course, Mars capitulated and signed the agreement with Michelle Obama, Food Police Chief.

IT'S MEANINGLESS.

I am sick of Michelle Obama pressuring private businesses.

I'm completely in favor of her efforts to encourage people to make healthy choices, eat well and exercise.

However, I don't like Obama's wife getting food producers to sign "agreements."

If people want to buy a large candy bar, they should have the option. Let the free market go.

Candy bars, whatever the size, don't make people obese.

People make choices.

The Obama White House thinks you're too stupid to make the right choices, so the government must regulate your choices.

Let's see:

The Obama regime insists you have the right to choose to have an abortion. That "choice" must be protected.

Forget religious liberty. All religious affiliated employers must be complicit in supplying "free" contraception, abortifacients, and sterilization to employees. No choice.

Want a big candy bar? NO CANDY BAR FOR YOU!

Killing an unborn baby: Yes.

Eating a large Snickers: No.

What do they really think they're accomplishing? So instead of buying ONE giant Snickers bar to fill my piehole if I'm a slob who's going to overeat anyway, now I have to buy TWO. Or buy a freaking candy bar made by a manufacturer that hasn't bent over for Moochelle Obama (as she continues to snack on ribs, ice cream, and anything else she wants).

I'm completely disgusted that more people in this country aren't rising up against this kind of overreach. This is how the end of any kind of free society always begins--with the small things. We have slowly given up so many small rights over the years with a shrug and a "what are ya gonna do" mentality that now the liberals are finally getting to the bigger stuff like health care and forcing religious organizations to cover contraception.

Michelle Obama better stay away from the size of beer bottles or that might just be enough to finally get joe six-pack up off his duff and start fighting this power grab.

Just remember, this is voluntary on the part of Mars, and it's a good thing for kids health. It doesn't prevent someone from eating two or three, but it helps. It's a step in the right direction without forcing values on consumers.

Don't you think it's funny how the First Lady Michelle Obama and Mars Candy reduced the size of chocolate bars to solve America’s obesity problem? Halloween is the perfect example of how we grab at least 2 or 3 little candy bars, instead of just one. Why is it believed that people wouldn’t just get another candy bar, or maybe even another brand with a larger size? There’s a comedic rant (First Lady Fatness) on YouTube poking fun at this http://youtu.be/Lri1DHUVQdo. Maybe you’ll like it too!

Is Michele Obama making agreements to shrink alcohol sales to one small serving, to shrink fatty meat to single-portion sizes, to limit prescription medicine and over the counter medication to single use to prevent abuse? Or perhaps she could make agreements to limit ammunition sales to one bullet?? These actions could be justified under the same logic used to discriminate against the candy bar eater. If Ms. Obama reads the research on obesity she will see it is linked more to processed foods than anything else. Each of us having a personal chef would be a big help :). The childhood obesity problem actually started during the depression. This makes overeating and childhood inactivity seem a little less like the culprit doesn't it.
