If she looked like Condi Rice, it would still be meddling, but it at least would not seem so hypocritical. If she were known to be a long-time "health nut" whose friends complained that they starved when they ate with her, it would be much less annoying. If all the pictures we saw of her eating something showed her munching carrots and celery sticks or chowing down on a big green salad with just veggies and a little dressing on the side, it might make sense to us as a "cause." If we heard stories that folks in Washington told each other "better eat before you go to the White House for dinner, you won't get a full plate of decent food" and we read the menus and smiled in sympathy for the guests, we would probably just ignore her.
It's the total hypocrisy that gets on our last nerves.
Take that Super Bowl party menu. I've been to Super Bowl parties with healthier menus- entirely by accident.
Most of us know how to make our own choices, thank you very much.
And, after all, it's not as if she has any science, medical, or nutritional background herself. There are lots of us out here with as much or more education, and many many more with more plain old good sense!!
Most people know that junk food isn't good. Most parents care enough about their kids to try to limit those foods. Now if Michele wants to meddle with the school lunches I have no problem with that part. The food they serve at schools is awful. The only thing I don't like is now she wants to meddle with the bake sales at school and out law kids bringing snacks and such, that's just over the top.
