You've seen the reports about Van Jones, President Obama's onetime "green jobs czar," and Cass Sunstein, his equally volatile "regulatory czar," and Fox News show host Glenn Beck has put together a list of dozens of such appointees.
Now here's the newest White House promotion: "Health food czar" Sam Kass.
"In a comical move even for a czar-happy president who has rewarded dozens of cronies with distinguished titles, the White House has named the Obamas' personal Chicago cook as 'Senior Policy Adviser for Healthy Food Initiatives,'" reports the Washington government watchdog Judicial Watch.
"It's no joke, even though it sounds like a bad one. The Chicago chef's rapid ascension ... has been kept under the radar for the last month," Judicial Watch said.
According to an earlier CNSNews.com report, Michelle Obama confirmed – in talking about her White House campaign against obesity – that the condition "impacts national security" because it is a "disqualifier for military service."
Judicial Watch said the situation is so dire, President Obama has been convinced to spend $400 million a year on "healthy foods" in low-income neighborhoods as well as revise – at a cost of $10 billion – a federal plan to provide food to poor children in school.
Such an assembly of programs "no doubt requires a trusted senior policy adviser – like Kass – who is an expert in healthy cuisine," Judicial Watch said.

“the White House has named the Obamas’ personal Chicago cook as ‘Senior Policy Adviser for Healthy Food Initiatives,’”
Sounds very Third World.
What’s the big deal, really? Calligula made his horse a Senator.
There must be a whole lot of graft and payoffs going on for it to cost even a fraction of that. This goes way beyond pork.
this is the same potus who got tears in his eyes describing the WH pastry chef and his pie?
No wonder he disaapears for hours and days- probably has stashes of pie, ho-hos and booze all over the place - away from Michelle
Arlen Specter wanted that job.
So before the Bambi family became our spoiled, indulgent First Family, Moosechelle had the “audacity” (ironic) to complain about student loans for their affirmative action Ivy education, the cost of music lessons and other luxuries for her offspring, etc. And they lived in a mansion that they should not have been able to afford at the time, and now we hear they had a personal chef. Some animals ARE more equal than others.
How equally ironic that Moosechelle’s big cause is childhood obesity, yet she apparently doesn’t even cook. That’s for the hired hands.
Arlin Specter wants any job at this point. He can’t imagine himself OUT OF OUR LIVES... EVER.
Here is the whitehouse blog site that shows our next endangered freedom.

This guy is SO TRANSPARENT to me.
Every policy has been de facto reparations.
It's simply a wealth transfer to the "black community".
What section of the Constitution again does it give the Federal government the right to dictate what I can and can not eat or consume...oh wait, they can dicatate that every American must buy health insurance.....if state’s have the right to or not to protect/enforce their borders....etc., etc. =.=
It is! Ain’t it just like the indonesian/kenyan! Wonder when “bushmeat” goes on the menu?
Apparently in addition to not passing a budget, the House has delegated their responsibility for appropriating money to the Executive Branch as well.
I don’t know about this guy Kass. Just look at the size of Michelle’s back end and the size of those thighs. What the hell was she eating?

It’s going to take 8 years to dismantle this monster he’s creating in 4.
How long before Obama starts playing to the PETA crowd by forcing us to limit our meat intake and mandating the amount of vegtables we eat each meal. It’s coming rest assured.
I am stockpiling Mountain Dew for the day when it will be equal to it’s weight in gold.
at a cost of $10 billion ...
