The Atlantic: Trump's Food Choices Grow More Disconcerting

The Atlantic ^ | 12/02/17 | James Hamblin

I believe you are correct. Than let’s take what Trump eats and send it to his Cabinet!

[EdnaMode]

IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE!!!!

[PIF]

Perhaps on Google’s menu, but not on McDs.

I love jelly fish tentacles with noodles.

Black eyed peas.

And a fish fillet with extra tarter sauce.

Follow that with vanilla pudding.

See, to each his own.

Besides, I despise, loathe, abominate self-righteous food snobbery with a passion.

Send them all to Sudan.

Trump is a tad on the stout side... and so what.

If they hate Trump maybe they ought to be hoping he eats himself to death, so should say nothing....

I had that after my hike last week (almost). 8 miles with 25lb pound pack on my back in warmer weather, sweating like a workhorse.

My post-hike meal was from Chic-fil-A: 8pc chicken nuggets, fries, medium soda, and a ranch cobb salad. Roughly 2K calories. I was at a calorie deficit by the end of the first hour.

Because my exertion amount for those 3 1/2hrs? 1800Kcal.

So if he's working through lunch and doesn't eat, I'm not faulting the man (and will offer seconds, too.)

[Albion Wilde]

If Mueller can’t get him and Melania’s shoes won’t do the trick, this — THIS! — should fire the ovens of impeachment!

[Maigrey]

I wonder how much McD's benefits from these articles? It's free publicity that the Atlantic is disparaging because of the President's food choices but it's got to be about 1/2M to 1M in free publicity.

You can't buy that kind of advertising.

[Yaelle]

Too bad he isn’t SMOKING CRACK like Obama. Cause that is so healthy.

[MinuteGal]

If I had to eat filets, prime rib, the finest steaks and other high-end entrees all the time at the banquets, balls, state dinners, etc. the president has to attend, I'd pig out on junk food every chance I could.

I love BK grilled Whoppers and grab one when I can....which is about once a month (along with a chocolate whipped cream shake).

Heaven is.....

Sheesh!... You’d think with all the culinary/ etiquette instructions from the helpful media Trump would have polished. His manners. /s ;>)

the media/press detest the masses and their choices including food, don’t you remember how they would hound and shame Billy Clinton for his love of fast food as well?

That said, I am grossed out by fast food myself...

[miss marmelstein]

Don't be stupid, please. I went to google which pulled up Mickey D's menu on Mickey D's website. There was chocolate milkshakes. In NYC, milk shakes and malted milks are used interchangeably although they are different in that one uses malt powder and as my Bronx-born and raised husband says, uses a raw egg. Outlawed now, of course. But, again, used interchangeably.

[bert]

So you are saying that the interchangeable use of shake and malted prove the general ignorance of New yorkers

[dfwgator]

buffalo butt

The Original "Buffalo Butt"....

[miss marmelstein]

I have to agree with you. If the Lord said I could eat anything I wanted without any health issues, I’d go for junk food every time. And I’m a culinary student and a student of fine food. But salt and fat beats veggies and fruit every time! Sadly...

[miss marmelstein]

What picayune jackasses we have on FR.

[bert]

Not only are New Yorkers ignorant, they insist on spreading the ignorance far across the nation

“Keep mustard packs by the bed. Knock one down, cramps gone. (Tumeric)”

Is a mustard pack not a poultice that you apply to the affected area?
