First lady makes headway calling for healthy foods

Calorie by calorie, first lady Michelle Obama is chipping away at big portions and unhealthy food in an effort to help America slim down.

In the two and a half years since she announced her campaign to curb childhood obesity, Mrs. Obama has stood alongside Wal-Mart, Olive Garden and many other food companies as they have announced improvements to their recipes -- fewer calories, less sodium, better children's menus.

Just don't tell her how to eat.

She needs to practice what she preaches.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Maybe First Lady Michelle Obama should take her husband's advice and "eat her peas," rather than indulge in burgers, fries and milkshakes while preaching (and spending millions in taxpayer dollars for her Let's Move campaign) to the rest of us how to feed ourselves and our children.


First lady Michelle Obama ordered a whopper of a meal at the newly opened Washington diner Shake Shack during lunch on Monday.

A Washington Post journalist on the scene confirmed the first lady, who’s made a cause out of child nutrition, ordered a ShackBurger, fries, chocolate shake and a Diet Coke while the street and sidewalk in front of the usually-packed Shake Shack were closed by security during her visit.

According to nutritional information on Shake Shack’s Web site, the meal amounted to 1,700 calories.

I mean really what was the point of ordering the Diet Coke? To prevent reaching the 2,000 calorie (the average caloric intake per day) marker in one meal?

Bottom line: Americans wouldn't care about the food choices of Michelle Obama if she wasn't constantly telling the rest of us how to eat "healthy." If she wants her anti-childhood obesity campaign and calls for adults to properly feed their children healthy meals to be taken seriously,
she must lead by example.

For the record, I fully embrace a good American meal of a burger, fries and a milkshake every once in a while.

Every half hour or so here in Vegas there's a television ad proclaiming how Las Vegas won't be a great city until indoor smoking gets banned. As a reformed smoker and longtime bartender I never mind when someone lights up. If someone else doesn't like it they can move on down the road. Fuck 'em.

Same goes for Dr. Zira's program to eliminate chubbiness. It's unrealistic and a waste of money.

"Diet Coke and a pizza, please!"

On average I eat a little less than 1000 calories per day, no soda, no coffee, no energy drinks, and I feel fine. Just water. Plus I exercise every day. I found out that if you make your sodium intake half your caloric intake it is a lot easier to maintain a proper diet.

Remember sodium, essentially a rock, does not metastasize into any other form and stays inside you. Maybe someone should point out the basics to her first, before she opens her mouth.

...perhaps if food were to be rationed again, we (Americans) would learn a lesson... or if there were to be some kind of depression where bread reaches $10 a loaf.... Then again I do love my beer and burgers!
