You Want "S'More" of Me, First Lady? Sarah Palin Takes Another Potshot at Michelle Obama.

Sarah Palin doesn't much care for Michelle Obama's "fight against childhood obesity." First Palin thumbed her nose in the First Lady's face by bringing cookies to a Pennsylvania high school, and now she's even using her reality show (Sarah Palin's Alaska) to get in on the act. On last night's episode, Palin was trying to whip up some "s'mores" for her family when she got off the following blast: "Where are the s'mores ingredients? This is in honor of Michelle Obama, who said the other day we should not have dessert."

Palin sure has a way of rubbing other females the wrong way and being so rubbed herself. Just recently, it's been Kate Gosselin and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and now it's apparently the First Lady. My previous suggestion in each instance was that Palin have a Cat Fight with the other lady, but in the case of Sarah/Michelle, I'm instead going to suggest a Food Fight, perhaps held inside an UFC-style Octagon cage. There comes a time when two ladies just need to settle their differences once and for all.

But that aside, I really have little problem with the substance of Michelle Obama's informational message. It's not necessarily any good for you to have dessert with every single lunch or dinner, and it's doubtless the case that American kids could generally eat healthier. Plus, First Ladies always have to have their little causes that they like to go out and talk about. I get that. Fine.

Where I have issue is with Obama's efforts to increase federal government regulation in this area, such as by having the government fully regulate local school lunches. Unnecessary, overbearing, and far leftist -- the sort of things that don't play too well with most of us here in middle America, sorry. Talk and preach all you want about our diets. But keep your federal government mitts out of our local schools and stop trying to coerce what kids eat through excessive federal regulation and the allowance out-of-control lawsuits.

And for the record: I don't much care for "s'mores" myself. Never have. Not a big dessert guy. Not a marshmellow guy. Palin can keep 'em as far as I'm concerned. Or maybe she can offer some to Michelle personally if the promoters are ever able to put together the aforementioned Food Fight-to-End-It-All Cage Match.
