After every soccer game, basketball game and baseball game, the parent that was responsible for snacks provided juicy juice, water and Hawaiian Punch along with a small bag of chips or Cheetos. So yeah, kids, including athletic kids, drink sugar padded drinks. 7-11 was a major stop for a slurpee on the way from school. Or perhaps it’s just city kids who drink sugary drinks. I have no clue what the kids in the burbs and exurbs drink. You say they only drink water. Cool. |
I don't think drinks should be banned just because they're sugary - but they certainly shouldn't be marketed to children. What is she thinking? |
Her face isn't what's at issue in these photographs. |
You seem confused. The issue is the very pointed marketing of a sugary drink TO CHILDREN. |

I've done the whole snack parent thing at games, for many years. Yes, a lot of times parents will bring Capri Sun, juice boxes, etc. But even YOU mentioned water. I have no problem with a juice box or Capri Sun after a game. But in general, my kids aren't drinking crap all the time. YMMV. |
Which is also garbage. And destroys your teeth. |
+1 Who markets this crap, and to kids of all people? Oh right - Michelle Obama does. |
She does look terrible. She needs a facelift and probably should stop drinking the soda she is selling. |
| Michele churned 62 and just discovered how much taxes she needs to pay from her SS paycheck. Now she is supplementing it with these gimmick. |
Show me one instance when Michelle Obama was actually thinking about anything but the money. |

So now she’s selling a “workbook?” What are her qualifications to write and sell a workbook, for adult women? Her hair looks ghastly. “Bringing former First Lady Michelle Obama’s timeless advice to readers in a fresh, interactive, and instructional new format, Overcoming: A Workbook presents creative activities, reflective writing prompts, habit tracking tools, and more to provide the ultimate guide to unlocking your small power, sharing your whole self, showing up in relationships, and of course, “going high.” With her signature candor and warmth, Obama draws on her experiences to offer readers the tools and principles she has leaned on to overcome difficulties in all areas of life. This beautiful and interactive workbook is Obama’s call to pay attention to how you’re feeling, notice what’s being signaled by both your body and your mind, as well as her reminder to us all that it’s okay to pace yourself, get a little rest, and speak of your struggles out loud. It’s okay to prioritize your wellness, to make a habit of rest and repair.“ It’s out Dec 3rd if anyone wants it, and there is a website online to preorder it. |
