You Are What You Eat

Michelle sometimes takes her staff on impromptu lunch trips to Five Guys or other burger and barbeque spots.

But Tuesday, when schoolchildren were harvesting crops in the White House vegetable garden (though not the Thomas Jefferson lettuce, which had gone to seed), they were brushed back from fried food by Michelle and her associate chef, Sam Kass.

“This is a healthier version of fried chicken,” the first lady, wearing orange jeans, said as the kids prepared their own baked chicken snack.

Michelle said she had wanted the organic garden as a way to underscore the need for better nutrition.

Those evil fast food places.

BTW, someone please tell me when the writers of Saturday Night Live do a spoof on the First Lady's figure. I might gain an iota of respect for them then, since all they seem to do is go after conservative figures like Sarah Palin.

Oh yeah, speaking of Sarah Palin's figure . . .

I believe that's what my late father would refer to as "a long, tall glass of water." And mean that in a good way.
