Michelle Obama Halts War On Obesity And Anusburgers
Drudge sirens and frantic arm flapping: a Washington Post reporter saw "War on Childhood Obesity" Gen. Michelle Obama over at the new Shake Shack diner in D.C. engaging in "talks" with one of those giant crushed cow-horse-goat anus cakes that weighs six pounds, has 30,000 calories and its own zip code or however that "your mama" joke from 1994 went, along with fries and a chocolate shake. Was she riding a personal mobility scooter, too? Jesus, Michelle, think of the children. It's the Anusburger Appomattox moment of the War on Obesity.
Husband Barack Obama was meanwhile lecturing everyone in Congress to "eat their peas," which suggests that the war that has already been lost at the Shake Shack is still ongoing in Congress.
War newspaper the Washington Post reports:
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,” which she says are fine to indulge in occasionally. “It’s all about moderation,” Obama told reporters.
"Moderation" is an SAT word for "socialist." War or nothing. [ WaPo ]
Indeed. And, do we have reports on the lines for non-secret-service-protected folks? Shockingly, I'm a bit of a misanthrope and have been trying to avoid Shake Shack until the newness-excitement dies down. Doh, probably just got a new boost in business. Maybe this fall.
Meh...I eat sausage and hots dogs so my food horror cherry was broken a long time ago. The sticking point for me is that no one expects tubular food stuffs to not have all kind of odd stuff in it. With the right spices almost anything can be delicious (except Japanese Poo Steaks though). McD's and BK, et al are all "enjoy our 100% beef burgers"...like those things even remotely resemble ground beef you'd get at the market.
