Um, no. If you think we aren't allowed to discuss her appearance because she's black, you are sorely mistaken. There are pages upon pages of threads criticizing the appearance of various white women - in particular, the women in the Trump family. Other threads discuss the appearances of celebrities. Michelle Obama is a public figure and as such is fair game for any discussion, including of her appearance. And she did, indeed, look absolutely awful at her Costco juice hawking event.

I agree.

She looks rough but we should stay on point as to why she is peddling this drink .

She will always look amazing and far far better than that stupid foreigner, Melania.

Case in point ^^

Yet you undoubtedly have no trouble criticizing Melania or Ivanka Trump's appearance at any given moment.

Michelle Obama surprised crowds at Costco when she was spotted giving a sales pitch for her new healthy drink, Plezi Fizz, at a Costco in Livermore, CA.

A TikTok video posted on Tuesday showed the former first lady standing in front of a stockpile of the drinks that were launched in March.

Have you tried her new drink? I have never even heard of it.

This is definite UN "Becoming"! The Obama's are millionaires since he left office and this is just greed and tacky.

LOL - so says the person who is fine with Trump hawking one failed scam or product after another -

Trump University
Trump Vodka (he supposedly doesn't drink)
Trump Steaks
Trump Magazine
Trump Airlines
and... ugly, gaudy, overpriced golden sneakers



Seriously, you people are in no place whatsoever to be judging Michelle Obama. None.

And you say Trump is awful for doing these things while Michelle is a-MAZE-ing! Guess she’s awful too?

You have that backwards. You have been saying Michelle is awful for doing this, right from the start and all throughout this thread, but you had nothing to say about Trump doing things that are demonstrably even worse, which has only been illustrated here for the very first time. That makes you the disingenuous hypocrite, which you have been, right from the start. It says nothing about anyone else here. And now you want to whine about whataboutism. That's your second fail.

DP. Huh?? When Trump was hawking his items, there were threads about how tacky and absurd it all was. Which it was. But somehow Michelle Obama gets a pass when it comes to tacky and absurd? Nope. It's clear who the disingenuous hypocrites are.

I hate stevia as a sweetener, but this is a better sweet beverage than something like a Capri Sun or Gatorade or especially a soda. Probably even better than straight juice from a glycemic impact perspective.

Harm reduction is the name of the game here. I approve.

Agree. I don't think her target population is the typical DUMC parent. Low income kids are huge consumers of sugar-sweetened drinks. This stuff is available at Walmart and Safeway, not Whole Foods. I think she's trying to appeal to a demographic that typically doesn't have a lot of healthier options. https://publications.aap.org/aapnews/news/6420/76-of-low-income-children-regularly-drink-sugar

Uh-huh. And how much is she charging the low-income consumer for her sugary drink? Ridiculous. If she was trying to influence low-income families to eat better, she should have thrown her weight behind either water or actual orange juice.

Look it up. Where I live its $.50 to a dollar per container, so comparable to other juice drinks but less expensive than juice. It is more expensive than things like koolaid and soda. Also, you should do your research: orange juice has far more sugar (and also needs to be refrigerated) and far more calories.

Finally, she has thrown her weight behind water and milk. On the website it says those are what kids under six should drink. https://plezi.com/pages/about

I mean, I know you would love it if the poors were punished for being poor by only being rationed water, but that's not how the world works. She is offering an option.

What an incredibly bizarre take. I'm not poor and my kids drink water, milk, and juice - not sodas or other sugary, fizzy drinks like the one MO is hawking. YOU seem to think that advocating *only* healthy drinks like water is somehow unfair to "the poors"? So weird.

When your kid is crying in the grocery store for sweets and you’re poor, you want to be their hero since it’s only the kid thing you can afford.

Blame the advertisers for using bright colors to market this crap to children.

OMG, just stop with this victim mentality.

^That includes Mo and this drink. What a strange left turn given what she advocated for.

Are there money issues or is she trying to gain an independent venture pre-divorce?

What victim mentality? I posted above that I think MO is wrong here as well as all junk food advertisers.

But I also grew up poor and I know it’s not easy for poor people to quit buying junk. It’s easy, accessible, tastes good, and is cheap. 3 avocados or strawberries cost 4 or 5 bucks but a 2 liter soda cost less than that and so does 5 piece nuggets or a kids meal at McDonalds. It’s easy when you have more money to make healthier choices in regards to food. It isn’t as easy when you’re poor to avoid processed food

Interestingly, water is free.

Why not to use her great lawyering skills and help all the criminals in DC who are in need of free attorney? There is a huge shortage in the public defenders office, both DC and federal.

Michelle is an attorney.

No, she is not. She is no longer licensed to practice the law.

Just stop it please. Michele is a beautiful black women and she is perfectly built to move those heavy pallets of junk drinks.
