FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA ANNOUNCES INITIATIVE TO EXPAND ACCESS TO HEALTHY, AFFORDABLE FOOD
A First Lady is nothing without an initiative, so I appreciate Shelly O for choosing food and fitness as hers. When I was a kid we were inundated with Drug Abuse Residence Education aka DARE. The only thing I got out of that was a t-shirt. DARE wasn’t really fun. You signed a pledge, committed to never join a gang, do drugs, or abuse alcohol. I still frequent happy hour.
