Michelle Obama Politicizes the Food Network
9th November 2009
My, what a surprise. Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
Now, I can understand how she might want to be first ladylike and push her pet agenda, just as previous first ladies tackled such things as literacy and drug abuse. I also can’t blame the Food Network for wanting to have the First Lady on their show. It has to be good for ratings (or maybe it would have been six months ago, this airs in January. Oops!). The problem is, the Food Network is the last place I expected to see scolds talking about taking away snack from kids and making them broccoli. This is the place that celebrates pork fat, butter and sugar. It’s a haven from the Food Nazis who want us all to live on a diet of rice cakes and rain water.
Michelle Obama is like Hillary Clinton without the charm.
