Yes, how could we EVER forget?
Well, there’s more bad news for Michelle, because a “trusted adviser” on the program, David Binkle, has been arrested for LITERALLY stealing lunch money.
From the Los Angeles Times:
But as he was revolutionizing meals for the district’s students, prosecutors allege, Binkle illegally funneled roughly $65,000 of the district’s money into a private consulting firm he ran, then placed some of that money into his own pocket.

According to court documents, Binkle repeatedly misappropriated district funds in amounts ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 between 2010 and 2014. Prosecutors also allege that he forged an application to become a vendor with the district and failed to disclose outside financial interests.
If convicted, he faces up to 13 years in prison.
Woof.
Michelle’s “Let’s Move” website said this about him:
David Binkle, Director of Food Services for Los Angeles Unified School District, shared that his district has been able to successfully implement and even go beyond the nutrition standards for the 650,000 students they serve. As a result, they have seen increased participation in the program, improvements in students’ academics, and even increased graduation rates.

That guy in the front? With the glasses? That’s lunch money stealing Binkle.
No word yet from the former First Lady.
