Irony: Anti-Obesity Michelle Obama Feast On Ribs At Ski Resort, 1575 Calories Pers Serving, 175g Fat

Going on a diet is for the little people. Michelle Obama wants doctors to prescribe drugs for fat kids. She wants to restrict what children are allowed to eat. She has even talked about removing parents from the child nutrition picture altogether: Michelle Obama on Child Nutrition: ‘We Can’t Just Leave It Up To The Parents’
As part of the ruling class though, she has an abundance of hypocrisy in her veins. Dietary restrictions for thee, but not for me! Via drudge, 3 headlines:
And of course, the ski vacation was extravagant at the same time that Obama is proclaiming a time of shared sacrifice and cutting back. Not for the ruling class:

First lady Michelle Obama enjoyed locally grown fare at a Vail restaurant Saturday night before hitting the slopes of Vail Mountain early Sunday.

Obama and her two daughters, 9-year-old Sasha and 12-year-old Malia — together with some family friends — are spending the Presidents Day holiday weekend in Vail. President Obama did not make the trip.

The first lady went to Restaurant Kelly Liken in Vail Village on Saturday night, dining on a pickled pumpkin salad with arugula and a braised ancho-chile short rib with hominy wild mushrooms and sauteed kale.

Next time she piously lectures on the evils of saturated fats, remember this post. Such a thing isn't the first time that Obama's bitter half ignored her own edict. From last year: Irony: Anti-Obesity Michelle Obama Orders Double Cheeseburger & Fries At Milwaukee Diner (With Video)

  1. uh it was a braised BISON short rib. Lower in fat and calorie content and healthier than pork or beef ribs which is what the recipe above you posted references. Bison can be part of a healthy diet because it's leaner than pork or beef. Check the KellyLiken website-you'll see it was BISON. It was NOT this coffee braised rib recipe you posted.

  2. Short ribs are just about the fattiest part of an animal, regardless of whether it's a bison or not.

    So even if Mrs. Obama ate bison short ribs, she was still far outside the nutritional envelope she would dictate for we mere proles.

  3. She kinda looks like a Bison.
