Let Her Eat Pork!!!

I listened to my favorite radio show this morning and they played an audio clip of Rush Limbaugh criticizing First Lady Michelle Obama's eating habits. This is nothing new, but I was taken aback by one of his comments in particular. He basically ranted about Mrs. Obama being photographed recently while she was eating ribs and stated she should focus on practicing what she preaches with regards to eating healthy and setting a good example.He also suggested she is "fat", stating she will not be on the cover of Sports Illustrated. The irony in his statements are amazing, have you seen him lately? He has to be over 250 pounds himself and yet he can publicly criticize someone for their weight and eating habits. It's really quite laughable.

Mrs Obama is setting a wonderful example, she is a mentor and champion of children worldwide and she proves it time and time again. She is not only promoting healthier eating habits for our children but she also promotes staying active. Not once have I heard the First Lady say you can't indulge once in while but she is concerned that children across OUR Nation are not getting the basic nutrients and activities their bodies need to sustain a healthy lifestyle.

The keyword in the First Lady's campaign is habit, which means the norm. She would rather see a  child eating a healthy balanced meal and riding a bike versus eating chips and playing video games everyday. So while you may see her eat ribs once in a while you better believe this is not her normal meal pattern.
