Sasha and Malia Obama are largely off limits to the news media
, but that hasn’t stopped a Washington nonprofit from making the first daughters the subject of a new advertising campaign. Though the ads, placed in Union Station by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, could certainly get White House attention, they risk a father’s anger.

In the ad, Jasmine Messiah, an 8-year-old vegetarian from a Florida public school, asks the question: “President Obama’s daughters get healthy school lunches. Why don’t I?”

Jasmine has also written a letter to Sasha and Malia, urging them to help by signing the committee’s petition to Congress, which urges lawmakers to increase the number of vegan, vegetarian and nondairy food options in public schools. The Obama girls attend Sidwell Friends, an elite private school in Washington.

What the hell kind of 8 year old becomes a vegetarian? In any case, since Palin's kids were used and abused during and after the election does that make Obama's kids fair game? I think so.

Yeah, an 8 year old vegetarian is hopefully that way only because of a medical condition. If a child is deprived of a balanced diet, that's detrimental to his/her development. Protein is especially important for kids.

I go with this. I would think a vegetarian diet, especially for someone that age and size would be far far more unhealthy than normal food. Even the stuff we got here.

Firstly - eight year-old vegans? Kids need meat and cheese and milk and eggs, the more roadblocks in place of an eight year old being a vegan the better.

Secondly the Obama girls shouldn't be subject to this. Although Sarah Palin's children were given a bit of limelight in the campaign it was under different circumstances. Palin wanted to highlight the fact that she "valiently struggled", (my words not hers,) with her Autistic kid. Also she ran on platforms of reducing teen pregnancy rates and promoting "traditional" family values, (whatever they are,) so when her teenage daughter became pregnant then yeah, it became fair game.

Lastly; what the Hell do the Obama girls have to do with any of this? Who was the bright spark who thought than mentioning them in an ad like this was a good idea or was relevent to the message they wanted to put across?

Whatever. I guess it's got the reaction they wanted even if it doesn't quite make sense. No publicity is bad publicity after all.
