1-11 FB Michelle's Diet
Michelle Obama. Is she a picture of fitness? And I mean that literally.The USDA launched a website that tells us how to eat what is healthy for us, to suggest exercises that will slim us and how to measure the number of calories in the food we consume. Posted prominently in a banner on top of the website is a picture of Michelle Obama, who when last I looked, hardly what I would describe as slim and trim. No name calling intended, no insults, I’m not saying she is obese, but I am saying she could probably take some of her own advice, given that she represents the government. I broached this subject with Dr. Robert Post, government employee, nutritionist and cofounder of the website: “One of the people who was prominently featured on your website is Michelle Obama who, in my view and the view of many others, is herself overweight and here she is as a banner on the website and I know you are in a difficult position but how do you answer that? I am not ackknowledging that she is, I guess that is the 1st time I have heard that. I think it comes back to, we all really need to rely on our own needs when it comes to foods and look to ourselves as role models in the way we choose our foods and the way we balance foods every day with the idea of an equal amount of physical activity rather than look at somebody else as the epitome or the model. I think everything about communicating the dietary guidelines is that we are all striving to be the best that we can be.”
I wonder who his boss is?
