A Nation Gone to the Dogs? "Controversy" Erupts as "Health Group Scolds Obama" for Eating Hot Dogs & Other Junk Food in Public...



The message she gives to the nation's kids is "Let's Move!", meaning cut way back on your calories and eat a bunch of fruits and vegetables.  New federal regulations now require it of school lunches...

Apparently, however, the same message is never given to Michelle Obama's old man, who's garnering more sharp rebukes for his own diet this week after shoving a whole host of hot dogs, cheesesteaks, barbecue and pizza down his piehole on the campaign trail during the past few weeks.

But before one can so much as utter the phrase, "do as we say and not as we do," some group called the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) says it ain't gonna take this kind of thing any longer! The group is imploring Obama to institute an immediate "dispensation" of his habit of "eating junk food in public now that the election season is over."

But not everyone's in agreement.  "Let the president eat his hot dog!", bellowed the Center for Consumer Freedom (a trade group funded by the restaurant, food and beverage industries).  For good measure, the Center is apparently ready to go to war with the PCRM, calling that outfit a "phony doctors group" with a "covert vegan agenda" (of all the agendas to be accused of!).

The linked story also goes out of its way to point out past criticisms of the PCRM's "provocative campaigns," which reportedly included a slew of billboards that read, "Hot Dogs Cause Butt Cancer!"

So things are gettin' uglier here than a ladle of sauerkraut sloshed over a Brainard Bratwurst.  And stinking almost as bad as that brat would be this "story," methinks.  What national debt?
