The Washington Post reported today the calorie count of First Lady Michelle Obama's lunch. Slow news day? She went to the new Shake Shack in DC and ordered a burger, fries, a shake, and a diet soda with a reported calorie count of 1,700 calories. There is no report that she actually ate all those calories, but she drew criticism for promoting her children's health initiative and not following her own advice.
Certain Republicans have also been critical of her health and nutrition initiative, citing that it was not government's place to tell parents how to raise their children. Of course, the government has been doing similar things for decades. Ever heard of the President's Council on Physical Fitness? It was begun back in the 1950s by Republican Dwight Eisenhower.
As a side note, I've heard about the Shake Shack and I'm dying to give it a try.

Oh gosh, too critical these days. Just relax peeps :)
Of course, eating that kind of food once in a while while maintaining an overall balanced diet and a good physical routine is perfectly fine. But not for the ideologues (on both sides).
I have always admired Michelle for throwing ettiqutte out the window when it comes to her personal appearances.
Hugging the queen instead of bowing. Inspired.
I think its important to do everything in moderation! If she went there for lunch ever day for a week then we would have something to talk about! Speaking of which, have you heard about the new app everyone has been talking about? Its this easy to use GPS app that allows you to meet men in your area who are looking for the same things you are!
