Michelle Lets Governors Gorge on 2,000 Calorie Dinner

I just couldn't help myself.  This is such a joke, and these 2 faced "do as I say and not as I do" people are just that.  Between the schools and the military, this woman is making many people's lives a living H.  The mac and cheese, the ignorant menu planning nightmare included, alone is about half of the calories of this meal if you don't look at the "tart" and one of the worst things you can eat or feed someone who is watching calories and fat intake (loadied with fat, starch and calories)..........and creamed spinach is on the list of things to avoid during the holidays because of fat and calories (I am sure the white house version is right up there).  What happened to a baked potatoe and broccoli (nix the butter sauce) with steak?.

The White House Sunday epically failed to practice what its first lady preaches, serving the nation’s governors a more than 2,000 calorie dinner even as Michelle Obama traverses the country promoting health eating.

While Michelle lectures children to cut out the fat and eat their vegetables unadorned with caloric sauces, she served the governors – who are in Washington for their annual meeting – a feast that included adipose-marbled steak, vegetables slathered with dairy enhancements, and dessert.

The White House has proposed mandating meals for elementary school kids that include none of these items, or anything like them. Here, for example, is the Wednesday lunch from a proposal on the White House website.

Chef’s salad: (1 cup romaine, .5 oz low-fat mozzarella, 1.5 oz grilled chicken) with whole wheat bread
Soft pretzel (2.5 oz)
Corn, cooked (1/2 cup)
Baby carrots, raw (1/4 cup)
Banana
Skim chocolate milk (8 oz)
Low fat ranch dressing (1.5 oz)
Low fat italian dressing (1.5 oz)

Here’s what the governors got:

Garden salad
Bread and butter
Ribeye steak 12 oz
Creamed spinach
Crab mac and cheese
Pear tart with ice cream
White wine

Based on conservative estimates of caloric totals for each of the items that found their way to the governors’ plates, and assuming consumption of a single glass of wine from the bottles that were placed on the tables, the total intake amounted to about 2,250 calories.

The recommended intake for an adult male during AN ENTIRE DAY is about 2,500 calories. For women, it’s about 2,000 calories.

I hope the White House included a note on its invitation to the governors to fast until dinner.

I didn't mean state money, I meant federal money.............you know that money they take from the state so they can launder it in DC and give the states back some small portion of it after they pay all the wack jobs in DC who work in or in close proximaty to the Dept of Education.............which really is the department of propaganda.

I agree that we were talking about school lunches at one point and yes the article is about school lunches..............and boy do I agree I also am a fan of charter schools and home schooling (there is another blog I listed today (I think.........sometimes there is so much going on, it becomes a blur) that says the legislature is now going to pass something that forces charter schools and home schoolers to teach the same perversions the public school does.   Do they not understand, they and the unions have already destroyed our public schools and now the only hope people have for the children to get a good education is the charter school or home schooling..................and I am sorely tempted to say exactly that to my state representatives.   I would also like to ask them who the parents can sue when the Obama food police kill one of the children by forcing them to eat something they are allergic to and throw out the food the parents fixed which they can eat (because the parents at least know something about their children).  I think it may be time to be really nasty to these stupid people.  They can legislate garbage or they can stop the madness..............and it appears the appeal of state money is making them choose option 1....legislate garbage instead of stopping the madness.  Sorry Jay I didn't know you were a girl as Jay is usually not a girl's name is it?

Ok, now Roma, I am not mad at you or anything, but you have done it again and taken a blog and totally taken into an area that has nothing what so ever to do with the blog and into something you want to talk about and won't post a blog because no one will read it....................:).  shame on you!

Comment by Patricia M. McBride on February 29, 2012 at 5:40pm

Jay, there are those that say our public school system can not be salvaged period.  The only way we will really being to educate our children again is through charter schools and home schooling, but now, these fools are trying tor each out and destroy them too.  We can't allow that to happen since the last vestage and hope will be those 2 options.  I don't know what is wrong with these state legislatures that they can't see they are the problem and not these other 2 last hopes for our children.

GREAT video Roma and you are right, he said it right and she was tongue tied at the end, because he was right!  Where in the constitution does the federal government find the phrase that allows them to tell us what we can buy and what we can use (oops, that right, they are probably using the "common good" or that old favorite "the commerce clause"!

Comment by Patricia M. McBride on February 29, 2012 at 12:15pm

Roma, so much is wrong with what DC is doing and it really isn't one group.  It is all of them.  It is sad we have trusted these folks much to our own detriment.  This problem did not exist before the things government implemented................one has only to look at the instance of the young child that had her lunch taken away and was given chicken mcnuggets..........really.  I wonder how many parents would feed their child something like that if they had the choice of the turkey and cheese sandwich the little girl had?  The food thing can only get worse the more control they commandeer for themselves.  But, to have the first lady be so 2 faced as to think she can tell everyone what to eat and then, approve a meal like this to be served at the white house is beyond the pale.

Jay, the problem is because of what these animals are fed and the medications and steroids etc used on livestock, it is pumping people full of things that make it doubly difficult to maintain a healthy weight. If you are someone who has a problem (certainly I do), it makes keeping your weight at a manageable level doubly difficult. The food on the store shelves these days are not healthy foods, but many of the presidents and his "charming" wife's friends are getting filthy rich producing all their poison and working hard to eliminate anyone who does produce and provide natural foods that are healthy..................and the problem existing of the number of over weight children can be dropped at the door way of the white house and their friend's doorways, because they are culpable for creating at least part of the problem and being wholly dishonest about it.

I know Roma.  It really is scary as it is happening on all 3 levels.  It is like government gone wild and on steroids.  You post a great deal of very good information as well and am glad we have several people on the site that really keep up with most everything.............it's hard to do just now with everything going on!

Comment by Patricia M. McBride on February 28, 2012 at 8:37am

Totally agree Roma.  I get a couple of news feeds from organizations that are apposed to the very things you mention and for exactly those reasons.  The food available is not healthy food, but this administration is in bed with the people who profit from poisoning Americans with their altered foods.  And yes, it is resulting in a very large group of very unhealthy people who are extremely obese.   Everything these days is not about the public good; it is all about money and for the DC group, getting re-elected at any cost.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
