The comment you made carries a whiff of Teabagger guttersniping, and I did not have you pegged as one of those subhuman lifeforms.<br /><br />It is also silly because her message is sound - people should eat more fruit and vegetables. The two women you are comparing her with are a) Caucasian, hence likely to be smaller by default, and b) a former model and a former TV personage, hence much better looking than the average person, so the comparison will not hold merit with any even remotely thinking individual.<br /><br />Matt Furey makes a living as a "fitness guru", M. Obama does not. Lots of famous people try to give out exercise and diet tips while not looking like the paragons of strength and health. Having said that, and without harboring any physical attraction to the US First Lady, I must say that she looks better than probably 98% of US women, that is not even including the fly-over states, where the situation is yet more abhorrent.<br /><br />I do agree with your idea, though -famous people who are not famous for strength and health should stay away from diet and fitness campaigns.Fatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18077817670776459628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3897774470372565730.post-70210605833612295232011-01-27T06:54:07.529-08:002011-01-27T06:54:07.529-08:00Wow!

She's plain stronger. You are always saying being thin and malnourished is not a sign of health in a woman.

The explanation you gave for the cause did not help that feeling when I read it a second time. Just being honest.

When someone decides to preach, lecture, or lead a movement about getting people healthy or eat right, I don't see any issue with scrutinizing their appearance ie their weight. <br /><br />In that regard, I look at this as little different than Matt Furey doing the same thing. When doing this, you really need to walk the walk. He, like Michelle, needs to drop some weight. Both don't seem to be putting a huge amount of effort into it. <br /><br />Even though they both have the right message, it's hard to take them seriously. When I dug up those pictures I used in both blogs, it's easy to see that there are A LOT of people don't take her seriously. <br /><br />That, in my mind, cheapens a perfectly good message and I think that's worthy of criticism.Justin_PShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819478474074071804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3897774470372565730.post-31785111653771268802011-01-14T14:12:24.655-08:002011-01-14T14:12:24.655-08:00I read your blog all the time and I enjoy it.

I know you might not be a fan of the Obamas but it's very disrespectful to talk about the first lady that way no matter what your political views may be. I'm not judging. It's just that's a good way to lose the respect of some of your readers. Keep in mind she's a real person with many people who love her. It's unfair to criticize or judge anyone based on their appearance. By the way, I'm a staunch republican. Keep writing. I still like you. I know you don't intend any meanness.<br /><br />-NICKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
