Meanwhile Michelle sets another fine example .

Michelle Obama orders 1,700-calorie meal at Shake Shack - 44 - The Washington Post

Guess the example was the diet coke .

What did Michelle eat for her other 1008 meals this year? Can you please give us the breakdown? Everything in moderation is my mantra.

She should be the example ,the exception.

That's kind of the point I'm making, you're pointing out the exception.

Nope... she has admitted her 'addiction' to French fries .
The point is that she has made healthy eating and anti-obesity her signature moral crusade. Add onto this the attempt by various nanny states to outright ban the burgers and fries she regularly and publicly consumes ;it undermines her otherwise good message.
Yesterday's presser was perfect for the Obama's
"let them eat peas .....we'll eat grezzy burgers and fries "

Ah I see. That's really important stuff there. Of course no one wants to outright ban burgers. Do you have a link for that?

Also in North Carolina you can no longer order rare or medium rare burgers.

The first link refers to the city council in East L.A.
The second is a private stadium in England.
The third is the same as the first: putting a max limit on the number of fast food outlets.

a) No one is trying to ban hamburgers.
b) None of it has anything to do with the Obamas.

Do you read the stuff you link to?

Do you have a reading problem ?

A stadium in England is not a state. LOL!

Just stating it over and over does not make it true. It just makes you another conservative talking point repeater.

The point is that whenever they go anywhere in public, they always seem to eat ice cream and junk food. So while she may be eating like a rabbit in the White House ,she sets a bad example in public ,especially with the public position she takes .

They will never admit to her poor example, tom. There's some inexplicable blind spot when it comes to the Obamas with these people, even when it comes to the horrible mixed messages they're sending children.

No blind spot, they talk about it here:

But Katz of the Yale Prevention Center had advice for those who sought to make an example of the first lady's lunch.

"I invite only those whose diets are housed with no walls of glass to hurl a burger in the first lady's direction on the basis of this one lunch," Katz said.

Katz clearly missed her admitting she "can't stop" eating french fries. That's pretty clear unless in your Orwellian existence "can't stop" means "one lunch."

Is she obese in your eyes?

Hello again, Steve:

I don't know why you're on her case soooo much... She's TYPICAL of most mothers in this country... She struggles between what she KNOWS is the best way to feed her family, and what the food industry is TELLING us is the best way to feed her family...

I know you expect her to be supermom, but she's just a regular person... In fact, being a regular person is BETTER for the nation, rather than her playing a role that nobody believes...

That's irrelevant, one doesn't need to be obese to have dangerous cholesterol levels.

I'm 100 percent certain if this were a Bush you'd let them off the hook just as quickly, yes?
