Back then I don't think there was as much focus on obesity as there is now either. It's not about whether Obama's fat or not. Obviously he's not. It's about setting a good example for kids and others who may look up to someone in an office like the president.
I don't think that junk food should be banned but certainly sending a message that it's to be consumed in moderation is a good thing.
Ice cream, fuzzy peaches and coke (diet will make tumors in your brain, and fat ones) is junk food. I don't consider any meat junk food. And no, I don't think he should send the message that burgers should be consumed in moderation (well at least the way I bbq em'). Only that if you eat more burgers, do more pull-ups. Besides, every once in a while I fat up for a month with retarded amounts of meat, and then when I go all out 'm heavier, so I gain weight faster. I know girls don't really do pull-ups, so jog and stick to salad, but if anything, Obama's culinary preferences are of such minute interest to me, I wouldn't be talking about this if I wasn't starved for meaningful conversation after a month of three jobs, and one moving job where I learned wayy too much Spanish, so I quit that. I wonder what job I'll do this week...
Actually though, the fact that you're agreeing with the news lizards (according to British sword
) brings up a serious problem. Obama politics is like reading sports news. 1/3 of calories consumed in America is soft drinks, which are ok rarely when you're actually running, but it makes you tired and is useless. Meat is not the biggest threat facing America's health. Seinfeld re-runs and sitting all day at the zombie tube are more like it (I know, but I go through a series of twelve exercises when I write these things (people can't say anything to me at any of my jobs because I'm younger and do more better in less time, and can easily have people fired in at least one job)), and the fact that Obama's lunch is a headline deeply scares me.
If you could be really that lazy as to blame a lack of physical activity on what is apparently the role model now, you need to take charge of your running shoes. Obama's actions were never a standard I looked to emulate, so why the h*** should I care this time?
Last story you get from me; when I was 13, I weighed 200 pounds. Then when I was 16, I worked out for two months, by myself, without any change to my eating habits except not eating cake at a birthday once to show off, and I was 170 of pure muscle. I say that a picture of Obuma sitting on a couch is a way worse influence than a hotdog. And either way, I care less about his life then the fact that he's ruining mine by smooching muzzies and destroying the country. This isn't a sitcom; I don't care what he sings or eats. I just want him to do less of both, and do something for the country, you know, politically, and not have to set a good role model for the kids. I mean he already defends abominable unions; if your kid is influenced by this fruit as a role model, slap him.
