BREAKING: Michigan Passes New Legislation Telling Michelle Obama to Get Lost

Michigan‘s legislature has just passed a bill, which Gov. Rick Snyder is expected to sign into law, that would provide for exemptions for schools to get around Michelle Obama’s strict Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act regulations pertaining to “unhealthy” snacks.
The bill would allow schools two exemptions per week from the regulations, up to 72 exemptions per school year, provided the school sent notification about the snacks to parents. It passed overwhelmingly by a vote of 33-3.


The bill’s sponsor, Republican state Sen. Patrick Colbeck, said the nutritional restrictions put in place by the federal government have “nothing to do with obesity.”
“This is about federal versus local control,” he said.
However, one of the Democrats who voted against the bill said, “These children, one in eight, are obese not just overweight. It is our obligation to make sure that (students) have healthy foods while they’re in school.” (H/T EAGNews).

Right, because the best way to help the one in eight students that may be considered “obese” is to punish the other seven out of eight students who have no such issues with their weight.
Such is the view of progressive Democrats, who would punish everyone for the “crime” committed by a few.
Good for Michigan for standing up to Michelle Obama and her strict lunch rules and for telling her exactly where she can put her banning of bake sales and fundraisers.
