Regarding your edit, you read wrong. I am struggling to find a firsthand source of the act itself, but here is a published study

If you scroll down to calorie requirements, it lists the different age groups. You may have read the maximum for young children, but the high schooler maximum was higher.
I'm glad we agree and quickly found common ground.
It is correct to say that you are allowed to feel angry. And that your feelings are valid. I would still argue that the complaint itself isn't valid. You chose to make your personal feelings about how you were impacted a public discussion. I'm not mad at that. But it also means that I now get to point out the nuance of the situation for spectators that saw your comment and don't understand the full story. Because you're saying fuck Michelle Obama for the wrong reasons. And I want everyone to agree with the "fuck Michelle Obama" sentiment, but I don't want it to be because of a misunderstanding about what was ultimately probably a positive policy that we then have to deprogram people over later.
I'm usually snarky because I'm an asshole, I don't even think I was trying to snark you tho, I was just tired and bluntly stating facts.
