It's good to be the Queen: Michelle Obama orders 1,700-calorie lunch

The rules only apply to the little people.From the WaPo via memeorandumMichelle Obama orders 1,556-calorie meal at Shake Shack (the WaPo fessed up to the mistake in the headline - the meal was actually 1,700 cals)
First lady Michelle Obama ordered a whopper of a meal at the newly opened Washington diner Shake Shack during lunch on Monday.

A Washington Post journalist on the scene confirmed the first lady, who’s made a cause out of child nutrition, ordered a ShackBurger, fries, chocolate shake and a Diet Coke while the street and sidewalk in front of the usually-packed Shake Shack were closed by security during her visit.

According to nutritional information on Shake Shack’s Web site, the meal amounted to 1,700 calories.

Obama, who launched the “Let’s Move” campaign to combat childhood obesity last year, has previously admitted to having an “obsession with french fries”...
More on that last part here:Obama: “I can’t stop eating french fries. But eat your vegetables”. Ironically, this happened the same day as Obama said this: ‘Eat our peas’: Pea growers react to Obama remark. More from Outside the Beltway, Weasel Zippers, The Astute Bloggers, The Daily Caller, JammieWearingFool and The Lonely Conservative. The reality here is that she is denying kids that which she indulges in, typical of ruling class mentality. Her plate is full of things she denies others in regulating what's on your plate. All the while: Good to be the king: Obama wolfs down TWO chili dogs and fries... day after his wife unveils new dietary guide. By the way, it's also good to be the queen: Irony: Anti-Obesity Michelle Obama Feast On Ribs At Ski Resort, 1575 Calories Pers Serving, 175g Fat. Going on a diet is for the little people. Michelle Obama wants doctors to prescribe drugs for fat kids. She wants to restrict what children are allowed to eat. She has even talked about removing parents from the child nutrition picture altogether: Michelle Obama on Child Nutrition: ‘We Can’t Just Leave It Up To The Parents’. As part of the ruling class though, she has an abundance of hypocrisy in her veins. Dietary restrictions for thee, but not for me! Next time she piously lectures on the evils of saturated fats, remember this post. Such a thing isn't the first time that Obama's bitter half ignored her own edict.

Good grief. Recall what Obama's bitter half said exactly 2 months ago: Michelle Obama on Child Nutrition: ‘We Can’t Just Leave It Up To The Parents’
