Michelle Obama feasted on ribs while on her skiing holiday, it has emerged.

The First Lady, who has spearheaded a campaign to change American eating habits, ate ancho-chile short ribs from a restaurant next to her luxury ski hotel in Vail, Colorado.

The Obamas have already come under fire for the vacation, with the President accused of double standards after appealing for Americans to sacrifice their holidays just days before his wife and children went on the costly skiing trip.

I did some looking online and the least amount of calories for the ribs alone was 1005 per serving and as high as 1800 per serving. That was just the ribs.

Like any good leftist, MooseChelle is concerned about what YOU’RE doing, not what she’s doing.

Yup. And the better they are, the more calories they usually have.

I calorie count way too much to let that BS from the article fly.

The Buffalo Ribs would be leaner but they are still 650 calories per serving for just the ribs
