Michelle Obama: Eat as I Say!

NOT as I DO...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Michelle Obama concedes that the White House Super Bowl menu of bratwurst, kielbasa, cheeseburgers, deep-dish pizza and Buffalo wings didn’t exactly fit with her campaign to get Americans to eat healthy and combat obesity. But the first lady says it’s all about balance.

She said in an NBC “Today” show interview Wednesday that “if you have a day like Super Bowl Sunday, the next day, go back to balance” with vegetables and other healthy eating. She says she tells her children, “you can have birthday cake and everything else, have your vegetables and get your exercise.”

It’s important, Mrs. Obama said, for families not to think they can never indulge. “Life is about good food, at least in America,” she says.

Again, every first lady has an initiative and it's quite funny watching people freak out over nothing.

Laura Bush: Education, Women's health, and HIV and malaria awareness.

Hillary Clinton: Healthcare, domestic violence, children development and teenagers aging out of foster care

Barbara Bush: Literacy and speaking out over some Republican policies.

Nancy Reagan: Just say no, encouraged her husband to start summits with Gorbachev, breast cancer

I think more important is her position on FaceBook. Oh yes, I know I am regressive, repressive, uncool and stupid but my daughter does not have a FaceBook account. You would be amazed at the number of her friends who do. I just don't think it is appropriate.
BTW, if Sarah Palin or John McCain had this Super Bowl spread one day a year, there would be folks clamoring for the menu!

its simple..you eat wings and pizza everyday you will get fat, but every once in awhile it is ok to splurge. im around 12% body fat and guess what on super bowl sunday i had both wings and pizza and a sixer of sam adams latitude 48 ipa. i did this because i knew the extra calories would be used later in the week when i was EXERCISING.

bet most of the people who are complaining about the government trying to tell you what to eat are the same people who want to tell everyone else if and when and where they can buy the beer that they themselves dont consume. typical.

How the Mrs' Obama, Bush (Laura & Barbara) Clinton, Reagan, Ford or Washington for heaven's sake is not an issue.


Spoken like a true fat woman.

Yes , you are exactly right. These First Women are ADVOCATES for something good (I think we can all agree that all these positions are something good) Why would anybody get their panties all in a wad over advocating for a good cause.
If you want to go on feeding your kids burgers and fries every day and fatten 'em up for the kill, go ahead. Your kids, your business, as for my part , just be sure to carry an insurance policy on them so I won't have to pay for your damages.

I just can't "figure' why the "1st lady's" figure is such a big deal. We have never before been so obsessed with a presidential wife's physique, and why this one I don't understand. We have nothing else good to say about her so we talk about her "toned arms?" No other presidential wife has embarrassed us with short shorts and tight crop pants and a thong! uggh! Youth and comfort are one thing, but ..........her's is huge. Mine aint little, but I aint tellin nobody else I know better.

I think the American diet has gone south and Alabama is one of the unhealthiest states, but, isn't this the pot calling the kettle black?

You have to spell things out to regressives and children. Ms. Obama has taken healthy eating and such as her main theme -- fine. In nanny fashion she berates all and sundry to eat like she says, to cut portions in restaurants, and so on.

Yet, she had a figure that you don't get from carrot sticks and salads. Its called hypocrisy.

Its as if Nancy Reagan was lighting up a joint, while saying, "Just say no!"

Spoken like an intelligent classy gentleman, NOT.
