Writing at NationalReview.com, Julie Gunlock writes about the First Lady’s belief that you and I can’t be trusted to feed children without government “help”. No, according to the First Lady, government knows better than you and me about how best to pack a lunch.

But the First Lady’s speech yesterday revealed more than just her anger. It exposed her total lack of faith in parents’ ability to feed their kids. Her suggestion that moms and dads need “help” making simple meals for their families isn’t just absurd and patronizing, it exposes who she really is — a woman so out of touch with the realities of the daily duties of normal American parents and kids that it makes her simply unqualified to speak to what families really “need.”

Let me offer some suggestions on that front: What Americans really need is a little less attention from the First Lady. Her efforts, while perhaps initially well meaning, have become something altogether altered: a vanity project where the goal isn’t better nutrition, but unquestioning compliance.

This is an issue of government power — power being used by the First Lady to impose her beliefs on the rest of us. My advice to the First Lady is to feed her children anything she wants and leave those same decisions to other parents.
