Good Grief! Obama Food Czar Now Making National Security Speeches
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, May 9, 2012, 11:32 AM
It’s an Obama world.
The Obama Family promoted their personal chef Sam Kass to national food czar in 2010.

Now National Food Czar Sam Kass is giving lectures on the obesity threat on national security.
CNS News reported:
A White House chef told health professionals on Monday that obesity endangers national security as well as people’s health – and that’s why he and many other people have embraced First Lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign.
“What motivates us is not just the fact that one in three Americans will have diabetes in their lifetime if we don’t change course, but the impact that it is having on our economy, on our health care system or our kids’ ability to learn, Sam Kass said. “It’s not just the fact that obesity may be our nation’s greatest national security threat, although all those reasons are of vital importance,” he added.
Kass was the personal chef for the Obama family before they moved into the White House. He’s now an assistant chef and food initiative coordinator at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
On Monday, at a “Weight of the Nation” event hosted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Washington, Kass said he and Mrs. Obama are “dedicating the rest of our lives to the well-being of the next generation.”
“This is our life’s work,” Kass said. “The first lady dedicated her time and passion at the White House because this issue meant most to her as a mother and as an American.”
Earlier this week Leon Panetta told us global warming was a national security threat. Last June they told us Al-Qaeda was no longer a threat.
This is so confusing.

I got it!
The Gassy Fatty Effect
1. Obesity requires overeating of starchy foods.
2. Overeating causes flatulence.
3. Flatulence produces excess CO2.
4. Excess CO2 warms the environment!
Unfortunately, scientific studies show that Michelle and Barack’s carbon footprint outweighs the Gassy Fatty Effect by a factor of 200 million. So instead of worrying about all the excess emissions, merely voting out the Poseur-in-Chief in November will solve our problems.

Message to the busybodies in the White House: Leave us the f–k alone already.

Good gosh man. The fear of terror combined with a label on everything they oppose as some kind of national security threat.
A terrible recipe for facism. Didn’t the founding fathers say that if America is ever destroyed from within, it will be under the guise of terrorism?
I really miss those leaders who fear God, can discern tyranny, and are willing to educate and promote the state and local police. This whole federal govt. power grab is a bit loathsome. Threats, intimidation, and the nanny state are soon to follow. Neoteny is the long term result from a nanny state society.

M<an these people have to be put out of our misery!
Adam commented:
Wait wait wait. This guy was their personal chef before Obama was elected president? What about all that crap about the Obamas being just like all of us and struggling with paying off bills and other claims of that nature? My family can’t afford a personal chef, no one I know has a personal chef or could afford a personal chef.

How is it that we can have both a hunger crisis and an obesity crisis at the same time?

His credentials are impressive. At least compared with O’Bumbles.

Just a reminder that Czars are advisory positions with no actual authority.
Josh commented:
He has a homemade recipe called, “Scrambled Facism with a Dash of Neoteny.”
Blackbird commented:
Anyone remember that crazy Executive Order Obama signed back in March that allowed him to seize control of anything and anyone during peace time in the name of “National Security”? Notice how everything no matter how minor is now about “National Security”? This is not a coincidence. This is a shift in perspective of the Obama administration. Now that they know they can they are seeing everything through the lens of extraordinary powers. Even if they choose not to use it for now they know they have the nuclear option, and it has started to change their point of view on everything and they have already started creating excuses to use it for even mundane stuff.

Any bonehead who thinks that “obesity may be our nation’s greatest national security threat” may well fit in with an administration blind to real national security threats.

Question: Which is greater? The number of “czars” Obama has appointed or rounds of golf played the last four years?
Militant Conservative commented:
21% atmosphere is oxygen.
70% nitrogen. Only 4% Co2.
The 4% has not changed.
Global warming is a hoax.

P.S. Square foot gardening is more efficient than the mess
Moochelle is cultivating.
lizzy84 commented:
So, now according to the WH chef, obesity is the biggest threat to our national security?
Too many American fatties? I thought it was global broiling {frying..toasting..whatever}.
Funny,for some reason it occurs to me that the biggest threat to our national security has been and still remains Barack Hussein oBama.

That is not how math works. Numbers smaller than one percent can still be very significant. Take rocketry for example.

No, it is only 0.38% according to Wolfram Alpha
