I do like broccoli and califlower ;not asparagus... which is also in the garden this year for the 1st time. Add beets to the list I don't like and that is about it. All the other veggies I consume.

Brussels spouts too. Put them on the pizza for a double dose of vitamins. Even better than peas.

Dear God, save us from those who would put peas on pizza. I'm a pizza purist - the NY thin crust with the crust slightly charbroiled leaving those blackened burnt spots.

No question about it ;there is nothing better than authentic NY pizza dripping in olive oil and the chesse so thick it slides off the slice. I'd love to see the President order a slice ,and try to fold it properly for consumption while running to catch a subway train.

NY pizza is the perfect health food . It is low in carbs because of the thin crust ;has all your food groups ,is baked ,the olive oil is a monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). MUFA is a healthy dietary fat... and you can portion control by the slice. I add extra garlic and oregano ;and sometimes red pepper ,often extra mushrooms or green Italian peppers... more health foods .

Hello again, tom:

While OTHER Republican state legislatures are voting to CURB people's rights, last night, the NY Republicans did the opposite. They voted to take nanny OUT of the room when people propose to each other...

That should please you... Unless, of course, you don't LIKE what's going on in the room, in which case you'd want nanny right back in there... Would that apply to you?

While we're at it, do you think nanny should BE in the doctors office when a pregnant woman wants an abortion?? I think you DO.

Lol ,the homosexual community demanded that the state go into their bedrooms in this case.
If they really wanted government out of the bedroom they'd champion the ending of all state sponsored marriage. The state's only interest in this is the contractual end . So let the state govern that and not take a stand on who is "married " and who isn't .

I've said it all along that this will not be resolved at the State level . What happens to these couples when they move to another state ? Are their "marriages" annulled ? Nope ;States that had no say about NY laws are Constitutionally compelled to honor it under the 'Full Faith and Credit "clause.

Also ;to get this into law the State Senate did a tap dance to exempt religious organizations from discrimination if they refuse to participate.
You know it and I know it that before a month goes by there will be challenges to that provision under the 14th Amendment. All the exemptions did was give cover to the spineless Republicans of NY who needed political cover to vote for the law. They of course will never tell you the real reason they voted for it... Bloomberg threatened to pull his $$ support to the NY Republican organization.
In other words ;it had nothing to do with defending homosexual rights ;they were bribed into it. Such is the sad state of the Republican party in my state.

As for abortions... as you know... the state should never permit the snuffing of innocent human life.Call that nanny state if you wish... I call it a legitimate role of government .

The nutrition czar's favorite food is french fries, she can't stop eating them. What do you not get? That's a habit and I repeat, you know how kids are, a role model telling them one thing and modeling something else is not good.

Obama planned to spend only about two hours in Iowa. His first stop was Ross' 24-Hour Restaurant, a local diner in the town of Bettendorf. Among the president's orders was a "Magic Mountain", a house specialty that includes Texas toast and mounds of ground beef.

"I hope he brought his antacids because he said he's going to need one after," quipped Cynthia Freidhof, the daughter of the restaurant's founder.

The First Lady, who has been criticised before for failing to practise what she preaches when it comes to her health food drive, made a quick stop at a small restaurant in a Botswanan village on Saturday to sample some of the local fare - fat cakes and French fries.

Yeah, you'd think that two people with all the weight they carry and all the health problems they have would know better.

Hello again, tom:

Al Gore can't fly in an airplane and Michell Obama can't feed her kids a french fry WITHOUT you or your wrong stream media complaining... Who says they're being given a pass?

Is Brietbart checking on their bathroom habits?? I'll bet he IS.

With their diet I wouldn't be surprised if they were irregular.

I don't care what they eat. Just stop being pompus preachers about a healthy diet when they clearly don't practice what they preach.

Yeah, you'd think that two people with all the weight they carry and all the health problems they have would know better.

If they said pig out on fried food and exercise then at least they'd be consistent . But the 1st Lady makes it a point to have one standard for us and another for her .

Three meals a day every day are loaded with fat and "bad" foods.

They do exercise. And they don't pig out on fried food.

You keep missing the point which I've made several times now. It doesn't matter that the Obama's exercise and look fit, in publicly eating unhealthy foods they're modeling bad behavior to the children while preaching something else. Besides, one doesn't need to be fat to have dangerous cholesterol levels.

Michelle already dealt with that. You've never seen them with healthy food in public?

Why are you so determined to excuse this hypocrisy being modeled in front of children?
