Yesterday The New York Post<\/a> reported that money will be taken out of the food stamp program to fund Michelle Obama<\/a>\u2019s pet project, Let\u2019s Move<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

On Nov. 1, sizable cuts were gouged into the federal food-stamp program (or, as it\u2019s now called, SNAP, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program<\/a>), which feeds 47.6 million people, or nearly one in six Americans<\/a>. In the city, 1.9 million folks get the bulk of their Jell-O<\/a> and Campbell\u2019s Soup<\/a> from stamps.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But news has spread among the poor, like leafy green vegetables<\/a>, that it wasn\u2019t heartless Republicans who triggered the cuts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rather, some of the food-stamp cash was snatched to pay for Michelle Obama\u2019s pet project, Let\u2019s Move. What?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s come to this. Some 76 million meals a year will vanish from this city \u2014 poof! \u2014 partly because the president diverted money from SNAP to the first lady\u2019s signature program, part of her Let\u2019s Move anti-obesity initiative \u2014 the bean-sprout<\/a>-heavy, $4.5 billion Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This project will not create healthy, hunger-free kids. Instead it will create more hungry kids<\/a>. Another problem with the Let\u2019s Move project is that the school children don’t like Michelle Obama’s healthy lunches. It seems to me that it would be a good idea to mix healthy lunches with things children like to eat for a successful program. However, in no way is it appropriate to take money away from a program that provides children with meals at home that they will eat and invest that money into lunches they will not eat at school.<\/p>\n
