She’s like the overbearing mother nobody asked for.

Via The Hill:

Michelle Obama on Wednesday will urge companies to stop marketing unhealthy food choices to children.

The first lady will ask food and media executives to promote healthy choices while decreasing the marketing of unhealthy products to kids, according to a White House notice about the event.

The move could prove politically controversial, as Obama has come under fire from conservatives who charge the first lady is trying to dictate what people eat and drink.

The event on Wednesday, which will also feature government leaders, researchers and parents, is part of Obama’s Let’s Move! anti-obesity initiative and comes on the heels of her “Drink Up” campaign to promote water as the best beverage choice.
