The People’s War on Mac and Cheese: The Dust Up

Michelle Obama: “Cheese dust is not food.”

Cheese Dust: “Food is not a public trust.”

I should warn advise you; now that Groundhog Day is over Lady M will be making appearances for 6 more weeks. Objective: hyping the  5th anniversary of her signature Let’s Move! program. My how time flies! Five whole years of yammering about what to stick in your mouth and how to move your booty telling America how to eat right and exercise. To celebrate, Cooking Light did a special cover story commemorating the anniversary:

In the article MO talks about her personal fight against boxed macaroni and cheese, bravely explaining how she had to be empowered to eliminate processed food in her own household:

At the time, her chef friend Sam Kass explained that boxed macaroni and cheese wasn’t “real food” and so the family shouldn’t eat it.

She recalled that Kass told her oldest daughter Malia that if she could take a block of cheese and turn it into powder, he would use it for their food.

“She sat there for 30 minutes trying to pulverize a block of cheese into dust. I mean, she was really focused on it, and it just didn’t work, so she had to give up,” she said. “And from then on, we stopped eating macaroni and cheese out of a box, because cheese dust is not food.

“Take cover! The cheese dust is heading straight for the children!”

I beg to differ; cheese dust is most assuredly a food, and pretty tasty one at that:

Finger-lickin’ good!

Next I suppose she’s going to tell us that bacon dust isn’t food either.

And if powdered foods are unacceptable I guess that explains why NASA has canceled it’s manned-flight program. Butt what are we going to feed our troops if powdered eggs are “dust” too?

And what about the preppers? What are they going to hoard?

Now I understand that – when used incorrectly – cheese dust can be very dangerous:

Butt then, when used incorrectly, what can’t?

A pen and a phone isn’t real legislation either.
