Sacrebleu! At 2,500 calories, state dinner menu is triple Michelle’s ‘healthy’ lunch

The fattening state dinner served at the White House on Tuesday night for the president of France might prompt first lady Michelle Obama to tell guests afterward, “Let’s Move.”
They’ll need to burn off a few of the estimated 2,500 calories they’ve just consumed.
Rep. Rodney Davis, Illinois Republican and a critic of the administration’s school lunch requirements, called the high-calorie State Dinner menu “the height of hypocrisy.”
“Even if you’re estimating a small cut of steak, this is a menu where you’re talking 2,500 calories, which is almost three times as much as what the first lady and the USDA allow our school kids to eat in the school lunch program,” Mr. Davis said.
Mr. Davis, who said school districts need more flexibility in their meal options, has introduced a bill that includes the requirement for state dinners and meals served in the White House cafeteria to abide by the same low-calorie guidelines as school lunches.
The menu for the dinner honoring French President Francois Hollande featured a main course of dry-aged ribeye beef served with blue cheese, 12 varieties of potatoes and quail eggs.
The first course was American Osetra caviar, farmed from sturgeon in estuaries in Illinois, followed by a “winter garden salad.”

Touché ;-D
Wow! All to be followed by the Moocher gorging on In-N-Out burgers when back in the private quarters of the White House. They’ll have to cut her out of that Caroline Herrerra outfit.
Moochelle has access to In-N-Out at the WH?
Now I really have class envy! Darn her.
The dress w/ fitted black lace top and voluminous blue skirt w/ train reportedly cost $12,000.00
It was a beautiful dress. I have to admit that.
