Each president and first lady sets a new tone for the White House, partly based on personal beliefs and private quirks, but few have so transformed the culture inside the building the way the Obamas have regarding nutrition and fitness.
Gone are Tex-Mex Thursdays at the White House Mess and the least healthy vending machine options; calorie counts and hummus with vegetables are in. Working out with the Obamas personal trainer is one of the few acceptable excuses for being late to a meeting; the first family reserves desserts for weekend meals despite having a full-time pastry chef.

And despite all the lib smugness in that article, I’d wager that W was and likely still is in much better physical shape than Obungler or any of the girly men that work there. I have also noticed that Moochelle’s caboose is pretty large and does not appear to be getting any smaller.

Gone are Tex-Mex Thursdays at the White House Mess... Replaced, no doubt, by "Surf & Turf Thursdays" (lobster & wagyu).

The propaganda being pushed out by king Barry is legion.
And the willingness of the media to print it is staggering.
I really want these lying pieces of garbage to get what’s coming to them.

Check Obama’s hands for callouses. I just don't see them.
GWB, OTOH, earned his callouses from hard work.

“And Ruta noted that the Carters and Reagans were budget-conscious and used leftovers every first family must reimburse taxpayers for the cost of their food.”
That very well may have been the case with the Reagan and both Bushes, but I have seen no evidence whatsoever that Obama reimburses the taxpayers for the cost of his extravagant White House menu.

Reagan worked out all the time too. Was it here on FR that I read that one of the doctors who treated him for his gunshot wound said that his chest muscles were unusually well built for a 70 year old man. And that fact helped the bullet not do more damage.
And back to the topic, the article says that there has been a 43% REDUCTION in childhood obesity among 2-5 year olds.
Is that TRUE?
