Michelle Obama feasted on ribs while on her skiing holiday, it has emerged.

The First Lady, who has spearheaded a campaign to change American eating habits, ate ancho-chile short ribs from a restaurant next to her luxury ski hotel in Vail, Colorado.

The Obamas have already come under fire for the vacation, with the President accused of double standards after appealing for Americans to sacrifice their holidays just days before his wife and children went on the costly skiing trip.

There is nothing wrong with meat or animal fat. Carbs are the real evil. Not sticking up for the shrew, just saying...

Not being nice, like the estimable mslady, but Michelle is not what I’d call fat. I made a trip through Wal-Mart yesterday and I saw some FAT, baby.

She has an odd shape; those weird wide shoulders (so much wider than her skinny hubby), a very modest bust, and a rather hefty backside. Not fat, though. If she had better taste in what she wears, no one would notice the wide load.

The point is, she is trying to tell other people what to do, and we know in our hearts that she would make it a law if she could... and she’s trying in many ways.

That’s why we criticize her food choices and her oversize butt. BEcause she’s so hypocritical.

“I did some looking online and the least amount of calories for the ribs alone was 1005 per serving and as high as 1800 per serving. That was just the ribs.”

Have some humanity, Netizen! You’re making me hungry for ribs and I got baked chicken and taters planned for dinner tonight.

The one on the left would be my target - svelt, enchanting posterior movement and slinky in a maroon dress.

Woof!

I bet it was pricey!

Yes, that's the real story - that dish by itself is about $45.00.

Do a search for reviews of Kelly Liken'$ and you'll get an idea of the price$

A$ u$ual, Michelle Antoinette $tick$ it to the taxpeasants...

“You have a thing for royalty, sergeantdave?”

Not necessarily, spectator.

Svelt in dress does it for me. Royalty or not. I’ve always been a sucker for a slinky female in a dress. Especially if she brings the potato chips to my barbecue invitation...

I have the chocolate fudge, you got the chips, let’s dance and be friends.
