When liberals act like hypocritical pigs, they are defended by the media. When conservatives....

First lady Michelle Obama speaks at the Agriculture Department in Washington, Thursday, June 2, 2011.

The USDA has created a new replacement symbol for the classic food pyramid – it is called “My Plate”. My Plate is the federal government’s new, simple symbol for what a healthy and nutritious American diet should look like according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

My Plate is designed to be a simple, easy guideline for every American to help them understand what a healthy meal should look like. The new image has had a positive reception, with people saying it is more useful and accurate than the previous food pyramid.

Tom Vilsack, Secretary of the U.S Department of Agriculture called it, “a clear and unmistakable message about what should be on the American plate.”

My Plate is a clear logo that focuses on vegetables, grains and fruits, showing limited protein and dairy portions. The protein portion accounts for less than a quarter of the plate, while the dairy portion is a small circle removed from the main plate which represents a glass of low-fat milk or cup of yogurt.

Alice Lichtenstein, a professor of nutrition science and policy at Tufts University's believes that the new plate symbol will be easier for older adults to comprehend. She says, “I hope [older Americans] will take it to heart because I think it will make a difference in their quality of life and in keeping them feeling good.”

Diets, calories, and regulations are only for the little people.

Geez, I’d think you’d know that by now.

"I invite only those whose diets are housed with no walls of glass to hurl a burger in the first lady's direction on the basis of this one lunch,"

Someone get me a triple Whopper and put the First Wookie within 60' of me. I can certainly fill that bill.

[NMEwithin]

My gawd....is there no end to the sycophancy from the media? it makes me want to puke...

[Above My Pay Grade]

It is fine for Michelle to scarf down and cheeseburger, fries and shake, because there was no TOY included with the meal. As our Liberal, “Happy Meal grabbing” friends in SF and other places have told us, it is the TOYS that are making people, especially our kids, fat, not the food.

[NMEwithin]

This is the reality...it is NOT ok for children such as this to "treat" themselves to a 1700 calorie meal of burgers and shakes.

This is the equivalent of a sports star telling kids to stay away from drugs and then snorting coke after the game...

Yet it’s okay to invade the privacy of a Republican by complaining about the wine he drinks during a private lunch.

[Interesting Times]

So, Michelle's "occasional indulgence" is perfectly fine, and her critics are just hateful meanies.

Of course, if it was a Republican who preached healthy eating while gobbling down giant hamburgers, ABC News would be appalled.

Apparently Michelle isn't the only one who's a flaming hypocrite.

Most experts agreed with Lichtenstein, while saying that the first lady's lunch is being unnecessarily scrutinized.

Nah, not unfair at all. She wants to scrutinize what others eat, she should be willing to have what she eats scrutinized.

>> “[This is an] unfortunate invasion of privacy for Mrs. Obama,” said Alice Lichtenstein, professor of nutrition science and policy at Tufts School of Medicine in Boston. “She has kept her weight constant and engages in regular physical activity. An occasional indulgence is fine. For many people, that is what helps them keep on track most of the time.” <<

Does anyone really think it’d be called an “invasion of privacy” if we found out that a bishop was having an affair with an adult woman? Why aren’t the High Priests ever held accountable for sins against liberalism?

(Compare to the media feast when it was leaked, in what WAS actually a criminal violation of privacy, that Bill Bennett gambled a lot, even though gambling isn’t a sin in Bennett’s religion.)

Uh-huh.
Then why is her butt as big as Alabama?
