What can I say? The Michelle O. love I expressed yesterday only deepens. . . .
Here’s her piece in today’s New York Times making a strong case for staying the course on healthier school food.
Keep in mind that in writing this kind of editorial (and in making her White House statement on Monday), the First Lady is engaging in an unusually political discourse, in that she’s specifically taking issue with Republican-backed efforts to gut the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act.
In doing so, she’s taking a real political risk and deserves our support. So please take these simple steps to show that you, too, care about saving healthier school lunches. Thank you.
