The dinner menu at the White House, served to Chinese president Hu Jintao.

First
D'Anjou Pear with Farmstead Goat Cheese Fennel, Black Walnuts, and White Balsamic

Second
Poached Maine Lobster
Orange Glaze Carrots and Black Trumpet Mushrooms

Wine: DuMol Chardonnay "Russian River" 2008 (California)

Lemon Sorbet

Main
Dry Aged Rib Eye with Buttermilk Crisp Onions
Double Stuffed Potatoes and Creamed Spinach

Wine: Quilceda Creek Cabernet "Columbia Valley" 2005 (Washington State)

Dessert
Old Fashioned Apple Pie
with Vanilla Ice Cream

Wine: Poet's Leap Riesling "Botrytis" 2008 (Washington State)

Look at all that fat, sugar and salt!

I'll bet it was expensive as well ..... perhaps the money could have gone to feed the starving children.

Did you read what was written? Procedures are being done illegally. Some would say that it is rare. If being done illegally how do we know how rare it actually is?
The women going to him for these procedures were also violating the law.

So, you can only work on ONE problem at a time?

Do you really think the fact that we have a surge of obese children presenting with medical conditions like Type II diabetes, high cholesterol, etc., should be ingnored because we also have children going hungry?

And don't forget, it is the Republican Party that wants to cut social programs, many of which, provide a safety net for children living in poverty.

Michelle, as a Democrat, supports these programs. What is wrong with her trying to shine some light on the problem of obese children also? What is wrong with advocating for children to have a healthy diet and weight?

But then again, since when do pro-lifers care about what happens to children AFTER they are born.

I see why the concept is so foreign to you.

Obviously, their efforts have failed to end illegal abortions.

Do you really think banning abortion will do away with doctors like these?

Ban abortion and you will have thousands of doctors like this one popping up to fill the demand.

Why can't you understand that?

What Michelle is advocating is for other people to eat healthy, while she and BO gorge themselves upon burgers and apple pie. A common behavior of liberals.

Pro-abortionists have stated for years that legalized abortion would prevent this. Are you saying this is not the case?

Ummm.....most rational people realize that even though you strive to maintain a healthy diet.......you make exceptions for SPECIAL occasions.

I think this dinner qualifies as a special occasion.

And yes, I am sure it cost a pretty penny......so what? The purpose of the dinner is to improve trade relations, etc., which could improve the job outlook for many Americans.......which in turn puts food on children's tables.

Ya know, you have to spend money to make money.

Eating healthy means finding the proper BALANCE in your diet.

I have watched what I eat my entire life......that does not mean I NEVER eat a cookie, eat pizza or have cake!

Oh, and let's not forget........Republicans have abortions too, even though they would like to take that right away from others.

Criminals do not follow the law. You are never going to rid the world of criminals.

There are laws in place regarding abortion, this man broke them, he is a criminal, that is why he was arrested and will go to jail.
