The message gets twisted! Michelle Obama has a burger!!

Everyone has their downfall...was she also having a malt? That would really be the icing on the cake! I try to stick to a diet that my doctor has given for me for my high cholestral...but try as I might I do have a few times I slip! Well sometimes its a little more then that! LOL

Shame! I feel bad for Michelle - its just about impossible to ONLY eat good food the whole time, maybe she just wanted a break and was CRAVING a hamburger, you know how that sometimes feels.. Although I think healthy eating is important, I also think its good to not be TOO strict about what you eat. You shouldn't have McDonalds 3 times a day, sure, but treating yourself to something yummy every now and again isn't gonna hurt!

Right on. I eat burgers all the time, but I don't preach against them. I don't care what the message is, one can not preach one thing, and practice the opposite.

Dumb. But I guess that's what happens when you're in the spotlight. It's not like she eats burgers 3 meals a day, 7 days a week. It's like anything else in moderation, no big deal...

I didn't hear of this until now! Talk about being embarressed! You can tell Michelle Obama is new to the game! If a person is eating well and wants to treat themselves once in awhile,I see nothing wrong with that! If you eat well all the time,it gets pretty darn boring! Also if a person wants to eat what they want to eat and not listen to the Food Nazi's that is ok,too! It is up to the person and this might cause Michelle Obama some headaches! I think she'll work through it.

I think most people will just eat whatever they want and enjoy. I don't care if someone likes what I eat if I like it I will eat it. This is why people shouldn't be hypocrites though like her...They end up looking dumb! Just saying.

I think there are bigger problems in the world than Michelle Obama having a burger in public...

sarahruthbeth I feel sorry for any Presidents wife as we all gang up omn them if they espouse good health then dare to do what all the rest of us do and we also should know better. Oh horrors I am a diabetic and I too have been to Burger King and ate a hamburger and fries too.but not all the time just occasionally but because i am not famous nobody is going to throw brickbats at me like they will Michelle. give the woman a break. a lot of us are health nuts but truthfully my diabetes educator says if you are good 90 percent of the time ten percent you can eat something you really crave and it will not injure us but will cheer us along the path to eating healthy., everything in proportion we who have diabetes can eat a lot of things those who are not educated in our disease think we cannot. So anytime a diabetes policeman says to me Are you going to eat that you have diabetes? I am going to say yes I am so go study more about mty disease Mr or Mrs Diabetes policeman.

I think there are more "Food Nazis" than we know that do not eat what they preach..lol. As far as the scandal..I'm thinking there probably won't be much of one BUT I do think it will be the first thing that comes to mind when and if she promotes certain eating habits publicly. That's just the way things are.

Well I guess she deserves a burger or two. Besides, it's her life so if she wants a burger, she can have one and we should just care about our own lives.

I think that this country is in worse shape then we all think it is. Lets face the facts, the right does not like Obama because he is black. Bottom line. Both parties have to get off this right and left stuff. It gets me real mad when I hear garbage like this. What difference does it make if she had a burger and fries. If you look deeper in the food situation, all the food we eat is pumped up with steroids. So, it's not just fast food. I keep thinking about Canada. It is starting to look real good.

Maybe she ate a burger that has healthy "extenders," so it should be alright. Food Nazi? That's the first time I have heard this phrase.

Michelle Obama has a right to eat a burger, she is a human being, so what shes eating a burger there is no need to blog about it, at the end of the day she can eat!!

I don't think Michell is a "food nazi". I think she's trying to help remedy the huge obesity problem with have in our country among young children who shouldn't have that problem at all! Every time I have seen her speak out about nutrition, she has made sure to emphasize the fact that it's okay to have food that's bad for you...in moderation. Eating healthy and having a good work out plan in place will help you to become and stay at a healthy and normal weight for you, whether or not you allow yourself to indulge in bad for you food every one in a while. The media is being ridiculous with this story, and anybody who fails to see the lack of logic in persecuting her for eating one hamburger and french fries either has never bothered her actually hear her speak on behalf of her cause, or are too dumb to comprehend what she's trying to say. I think Michelle Obama is a normal sized woman who happens to eat well most of the time and have a good work out regimen. Everybody is allowed to treat themselves to a fattening meal or dessert every once in a while. I honestly don't see the harm in that, or how she's a "hypocrite".

So, even food nazis have that once-in-a-while craving for a burger too! I shouldn't be commenting here, as I also ignore food nazis, and I enjoy a burger once in a while (sometimes too many times than I am supposed to), but I'm glad to realize that she is human too. I guess it's hard to be in the public spotlight, as everything one does, gets analyzed.

That is not good to tell others to do something but then not following it. There is a old saying that if you want the change then first be the change. But here I see the opposite, anyway if it is for one's good health then we should not see that if she eats it or not, wise people will take their own decision for that. If you want a good health then you will have the good eating habits.
