(CNSNews.com) - Apparently it's not the price of the groceries, but the nutrition labels on food packages that make grocery shopping such a difficult and trying experience for the moms of America.

In pitching new, improved nutrition labels at the White House on Thursday, first lady Michelle Obama tried to identify with women who do the grocery shopping for their families. Her message was aimed at mothers who want to buy healthy food and depend on labels to help them do that:

"So there you stood, alone in some aisle in a store, the clock ticking away at the precious little time remaining to complete your weekly grocery shopping, and all you could do was scratch your head, confused and bewildered, and wonder, is there too much sugar in this product? Is 50 percent of the daily allowance of riboflavin a good thing or a bad thing? And how on Earth could this teeny little package contain five whole servings?

"This stream of questions and worries running through your head when all you really wanted to know was, should I be eating this or not? Is this good for my kids or not? And if it is healthy, how much of it should I be eating? But unless you had a thesaurus, a calculator, a microscope, or a degree in nutrition, you were out of luck. So you felt defeated, and you just gave up and went back to buying the same stuff you always buy.

"As consumers and as parents, we have a right to understand what's in the food we're feeding our families. Because that's really the only way that we can make informed choices -- by having clear, accurate information. And ultimately, that's what today's announcement is all about."

Among other things, the revised nutrition label shows the calorie count in large, bold print; it includes the amount of "added sugar," and it reflects more realistic serving sizes.

"Now, I know there will be many opinions on what this label should look like, but I think that we all can agree that families deserve more and better information about the food they eat," Mrs. obama said. "So this is a huge deal, which is why everybody is here. (Laughter.) And it's going to make a big difference for families across this country.

Moms are shopping on tight budgets because their husbands have been cut to part time or have no work to pay for a healthy menu for their families - all thanks to the failures of our current economic policies of this administration - especially obamacare.

I tried to give family member money as Christmas present -> more soda drinks and sausages. Planning on the level of: we need dinner, then snacks? .. and something to the coffee? More money and they don't have time for caring about price neither.

It is sad that most people don't have any interest in the actual nutritional content of what they are eating and drinking - which profoundly affects their body, mind and soul.

A bit of everything will give you what you need?

"THIS 'FOOD' HAS GMO IN IT - DON'T EAT IT"

When are we gonna get *THAT* label like Obama promised?

Seriously. Why are we fighting for a label to warn you, that your food is poison

and not banning the poison instead?

I understand the concept of "baby steps"

but how many baby steps can be tolerated when someone's pointing a gun at your head...?

(geez!)

WTF?

Agreed it is outright POISON!  To hell with the "labelling" - STOP THE POISONING - which is what it is!
