The \u003ca href=\"http://www.fda.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">Food and Drug Administration\u003c/a> has drawn up the changes, and the first lady is expected to introduce the new label at the White House early Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The label we're talking about is that familiar grid on the back of packaged foods that lists calories, fats, cholesterol, carbs, protein and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's no coincidence that the first lady is announcing some changes to it as part of the fourth anniversary celebration of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.letsmove.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">Let's Move Campaign\u003c/a>. She's long been using the power of the White House to tackle the nation's obesity problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, in the view of many, the current nutrition label, which hasn't been changed since the early 1990s (save the addition of a line for trans fat), needs some tweaking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take for instance, calories. At a time when lots of people are trying to trim back on them, advocates say the label could go farther.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, how about putting calories in bigger, bolder print? That's one idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think calorie count and the serving sizes [listed on the label] are the big issue that trick people up,\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.nokidhungry.org/authors/gsilverman\" target=\"_blank\">Greg Silverman\u003c/a>, a nutrition educator with the group Share Our Strength, tells us. His organization helps low-income families navigate the grocery store and provides hands-on cooking education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silverman says it's easy to spot the calorie line on the panel since it's near the top.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But often times, one package can have two or three servings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Repeatedly we find that people are assuming containers are individual portions and not realizing, 'Oh, this is actually for two,'\" Silverman says. \"And therefore, they're getting double the amount of sodium; they're getting double the amount of calories.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There has been no shortage of suggestions on how to change the label.

Rather, it is from her daughters' godmother. Though she emphasizes that she and her husband sit down with their girls every evening \"with good conversation and healthy food,\" she admits that these decadent cookies are a \"splurge.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current First Lady is firmly committed to healthy eating-- adhering to organic principles in her \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailyfinance.com/2009/07/30/michelle-obamas-toxic-veggie-nightmare-white-house-organic-gar/\" target=\"_blank\">non-organic White House garden\u003c/a>. So why then would she use something as unhealthy as Crisco butter-flavored baking sticks, which contain fully hydrogenated palm oil, mono and diglycerides, and no actual butter? Shortening does have it's benefits in terms of cookie baking (batters spread and brown less readily, for example), but it contains no heath benefits whatsoever. Then again, she explicitly stated that this is a \"splurge.\" Frankly I'd stick to butter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether or not it was intentional, the inclusion of both white and milk chocolate chips is a touching nod to her husband's heritage. The addition of chocolate mint chips adds a pleasant surprise note of interest. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If one cannot find chocolate mint chips, as I could not, the Andes Creme de Menthe Thins are good tasting, but are filled with more junk that the Crisco butter-flavored sticks.

First ladies were now free to support their husbands in other ways. For example, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan might never have been president if their wives were kept in the kitchen rather than by their sides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A surge of interest in the baking habits of First Ladies-- both incumbent and aspiring-- occurred in 1992 when Hillary Clinton mentioned that she chose to pursue her own career after her husband was elected Governor of Arkansas rather than \"stay home and bake cookies.\" Every election year since, Family Circle magazine has presented a First Lady cookie bake-off-- a depressingly old-fashioned, sexist, yet remarkably accurate bellwether of the real presidential contest.\u003cstrong>*\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is interesting about this contest is not so much about how good these cookies are (or aren't), but rather, what each recipe says about the woman who submitted it. And, by extension, her husband's political philosophies. Do these treats adhere to their respective party platforms? The only way to find out is to bake them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/Romney-Cookies1.png\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/Romney-Cookies1.png\" alt=\"Romneys M&M Cookies\" title=\"Romneys M&M Cookies\" width=\"560\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50968\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>First up:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ann Romney's M&M's Cookies\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Makes 3 dozen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 cup granulated sugar\u003cbr>\n1 cup packed light brown sugar\u003cbr>\n1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened\u003cbr>\n1 1/2 cups crunchy peanut butter\u003cbr>\n1 tablespoon light corn syrup (such as Karo)\u003cbr>\n3 eggs\u003cbr>\n1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract\u003cbr>\n4 1/2 cups rolled oats\u003cbr>\n2 teaspoons baking soda\u003cbr>\n6 ounces chocolate chips\u003cbr>\n2/3 cups M&M's candies\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Preparation:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1.

It tries to be all things to all people, but in the end, it tastes like none of the above.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though it's an interesting cookie to behold-- garish bits of blue, green, and red M&M's peeking out of a bumpy oatmeal lunar surface-- it is heavy both in the hand and on the tongue. A little of this cookie goes a very long way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if you find that you have consumed too much Romney in cookie form, be comforted by the knowledge that, as an excellent source of fiber, oats act as \"nature's broom\"-- these cookies won't be staying with you long. For added insurance, Mrs. Romney has included Karo syrup, which has osmotic properties and was once popular as a home remedy for infant constipation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The approximate total cost of making Ann Romney's creation: $14.60\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NEXT UP: \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/11/05/first-lady-cookie-toss-up-part-ii-michelle-obama/\">MICHELLE OBAMA'S CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>*\u003c/strong>The only woman to win the cookie bake-off and lose The White House was Cindy McCain, whose Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies beat out Michelle Obama's Citrus and Amaretto-laced Shortbread.
