President Obama's diet: fitness and french fries
Politico ^ | 6/17/2009 | ERIKA LOVLEY

Until Michelle Obama writes a mega-selling diet book — be it “First Ladies Don’t Get Fat” or “The South Lawn Diet” — two questions loom: What do the Obamas eat at home, and how do they stay so thin?

Nutrition experts, too, say Americans need a much better glimpse of what’s being dished up behind the gates of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. “We have no idea what their regular breakfasts, lunches and dinners are like,” said American Dietetic Association spokeswoman and D.C. nutritionist Katherine Tallmadge. “Burgers, that’s all I ever hear about. They go to burger joints because it shows they’re just like everybody else, but everybody else is overweight.”

The first couple fit in early-morning workout sessions before the day begins, and the president is known to play basketball. A vegetable garden has been planted on the White House grounds, where daughters Sasha and Malia play on their swing set and run about with the first dog, Bo.

North Korea is launching rockets trying to start a war,Iran is trying to get its hands on nukes so it can destroy Israel, the American President is handing out money that he does not have at alarming rates, American unemployment is approaching 10% and some one actually has time to waste writing about what the Obamas eat?
No wonder America is sliding down the drain.....

I didn't get the memo, but MODO seems fascinated with this angle, too. I'm guessing that these are nanny stories to coincide with the health care takeover, but I really don't care what anyone else eats.

I don't what them to care what I eat.

"There are more overweight people out there who no longer think they are overweight, and that’s cause for concern."

Whose concern? Only authoritarian, busy-body peacocks who have nothing better to do with their life than to butt into other people's lives and tell them how to live.

I'm gettin' tired of it. We tell the government what to do, not the other way around.

I love that puppy though, he’s so cute, but that breed is a poor choice for unexperienced dog owners. sigh I hope he has a better life than the poor dogs the Clinton’s had.

It drives me nuts when people comment publicly on public figures’ looks, but it is not inappropriate to note when the media have entered the Twilight Zone by presenting as fact things that are as false as they are trivial. This part is just my opinion: nobody besides “journalists” besotted with the Obamas is thinking about the Obamas’ eating habits. However, this part is fact: Barack Obama is skinny, but Michelle Obama is not, so the part about people wondering how “the Obamas” stay thin is obviously false.. (I'm NOT saying the MO is fat and I am NOT criticizing her appearance.)

To think I had been kicking myself for not getting thin fast enough. With Michelle as a role model, I can say I already reached my weight loss goals.

Do as I say, not as I do? Guess there are more fish and chips in the UK than vegetable gardens.

What a picture!

My first reaction was that someone photoshopped MO’s torso and head onto Oprah’s butt and legs.

But... it’s real, isn’t it. (shudder)

Hope I sleep tonight. I’m thinking I’ll leave the light on.
