If your food is that dangerous just cut it.
None of the restaurants that partner with her will ever see a dime of my money again.

Boycott!
NTSA. FLOTUS is Jezebel.
The company will pledge to reduce the calories and sodium in all its meals by 10 percent over five years, and by 20 percent over 10 years. For children, French fries and sugar-sweetened beverages will become the exception and not the rule
In case you were wondering what kind of groves... it must be olive groves! Oy vey.
1 Kings 18
17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.
19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.
The wickedness in the White Hut is great, because Ahab and Jezebel squat there.
Ya want some more fries with that, Queen?
One of the things that makes going out to a restaurant affordable in this economy is the idea that you can get two meals by bringing home the leftovers. It’s not like the family table where mom insists you eat everything on your plate. But Big Mama thinks you are too stupid to know when you have eaten enough so Big Restaurant must skimp on the portions. Forget the doggie bag, just stay home.
No more Olive Garden - got it...
I live in area with a large Italian ethnic population. THere is an Olive Garden here, but I son’t know how they survive when there’s a plethora of REAL Italian restaurants with lower prices and such better authentic food (or just go to your best friend’s mom’s house for dinner).
And since we’re very close to the shoreline, same is true for seafood.
Went to Longhorn once, just to see what it was like, but we liked Outback better. And steak is one of the things that’s hard to mess up. A little salt and pepper and a few minutes on the grill.
No problem giving up what we never go to :-)
This is the kind of "smear" the administration can live with!
Benefits of Sodium
Sodium is an electrolyte in the blood that helps the body perform several essential tasks. Every person needs proper amounts of sodium in their diet in order to maintain nerve and muscle function. Sodium also helps to maintain blood pressure, says Penn State’s Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. A lack of sodium in the diet may lead to hyponatremia, which is characterized by confusion, lethargy, nausea and muscle twitches.
Benefits of Iodine
Iodine is a mineral that is required in a person’s daily diet. According to Aurora Health Care, iodine is responsible for keeping metabolic rates stable and promoting the synthesis of bone and protein. It also regulates the rate at which people grow and develop. A lack of iodine in the diet leads to weight gain and thyroid problems such as goiter.
Misconceptions
Some people are under the impression that sea salt contains less sodium than table salt. MayoClinic.org reports, however, that the two types of salt contain approximately the same concentration of sodium. Furthermore, sea salt loses much of its natural iodine during processing, says Aurora Health Care. Therefore, it is an inferior source of iodine when compared to iodized table salt.

how very Obama.
No more Olive Garden, it is my money not Michelle.
The only other time I recall Olive Garden intruding on the media was in 2006 when 300 customers of its restaurant in Indianapolis got sick. http://foodpoisoning.pritzkerlaw.com/archives/norovirus-olive-garden-food-poisoning.html
Since then I’ve avoided the Olive garden. Today’s news doesn’t provide any reason for me to change my opinion. Imagine a menu “supervised by Michelle Obama”. Yuk! Zagat rating = Zero
You’d think that if seasoned Democrat politicians are avoiding photo ops with Obama and his wife, businesses would have enough sense to do the same. Go figure.
