Washington Examiner falsehood: "$373 million in stimulus money for better vending machine food"

SUMMARY: On October 14, The Washington Examiner ran the false headline, "Michelle: $373 million in stimulus money for better vending machine food." However, Michelle Obama, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Examiner article itself contradict the headline; HHS will award $373 million to communities through a competitive grant process for "comprehensive" programs -- one component of which could include healthier  vending machine food -- that would "reduce obesity."
