Michelle Obama Gets Rio 2016 Gymnastics Team To Walk Back Their Love of Junk Food

Michelle Obama is everyone's mom — if everyone's mom could use Twitter.

On Wednesday, FLOTUS fired off a tweet that caused the two-time Olympian to pivot-turn on her public affection for french fries and ice cream.

It all started during a question-and-answer Twitter session with the U.S. women's gymnastics team, when actor (and Simone Biles crush object) Zac Efron asked the final five about their favorite cheat meal when they aren't training.

Follow Zac Efron ✔ @ZacEfron I know @TheRock likes cookies. 😉What's your favorite cheat meal when you're not training? #AskFinalFive #Rio2016 #TeamUSA 10:56 AM - 17 Aug 2016 1,210 1,210 Retweets 9,663 9,663 likes Raisman responded, "FRENCH FRIES + CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM" — an appropriate use of all caps.

Moderation, right?😂🙈🙈😂 https://twitter.com/flotus/status/765969194097733632 … 2:33 PM - 17 Aug 2016 953 953 Retweets 8,195 8,195 likes After expressing her embarrassment via emoji, Raisman then answered the first lady's question with some healthy and delicious responses.

(Maybe mum's the word until she reveals new sponsors.)

Looks like FLOTUS can't keep them away from ice cream forever, though. Biles and Raisman posed for a photo outside a McDonald's with three Russian gymnasts on Wednesday.

Just like on a beam, a good diet is all about balance.

Yeah, tell Mooch to shove it up his azz.

Every time their tribe goes on "vacay" we're invariably treated to a pic of 0 shoving an ice cream cone down his throat.

There are a few pictures out there of Mike slammin' a bunch of junk food down too.

Phony bassards.

Just think about the level of effrontery of this overstuffed hawg lecturing those extremely fit young Olympians on what they should eat.

These young sprites go flying through the air like eagles qhilw Moochie can hardly drag her gigantic ass up the Air Force 1 gangway.

And she’s telling them what to eat!

It’s a stinkin’ rotten shame that this horse would even dare to tell anybody to cut back when he/she is so heavy. Can’t be any mirrors in our White House or maybe they’re all in Obambozo’s bedroom. You’d think that one of her 42 personal attendants would tell her what a slob he/she looks like.

The Olympian can say what ever the hell she wants about not eating french fries and ice cream, my bet is she will eat it anyway despite what the mooooooooooooch has to say.

Let’s see Moochelle’s Uneven Parallel Bar program. Or the Rings! Or the Pommel horse! Or her Floor Program! let’s see what that healthy diet can do for a gal!

On second thought....let’s NOT!

Seriously, can she any bigger of a buzz-kill? I won’t get into the weeds, but the Olympians I have had the pleasure of knowing let’s say aren’t afraid to let their hair down and eat some things their coaches would cringe over. If you are burning the number of calories a day they are when they are training full tilt, ya think any of it ends up in the wrong places? I think not....

I think the wookie even admitted how much she loves french fries. These dam**ed hypocrites make me sick. These girls train, and train and eat healthy for this competition. Let them enjoy their ice cream and fries. Zero sure loves his ice cream. Oh Lord, I can’t wait for them to disappear from our WH.

libtards have envy and a resentment against achievement, so they have to ruin a good thing with a guilt trip to feel better inside
