| There are two things you are not allowed to call Michelle Obama. One is “angry black woman”. The other is “generous host”, at least when the guests for the White House’s “kids’ state dinner” (well, lunch, actually) are concerned: The menu: Kale Chips from the New York winner were placed on each table ahead of the appetizer, which was Quinoa Black Bean and Corn Salad from the Arizona winner. The entree was “Yummy Cabbage Sloppy Joes” from the Kansas winner, accompanied by Baked Zucchini Fries from the North Carolina winner. Dessert was two recipes: A Strawberryana Smoothie from the Hawaii winner; and a “Summer Fruit Garland” from the South Dakota winner, which was chunks of fruit on a wooden skewer. |

| #16 "Where's the beef"? Well that goes for the whole Obama administration. |

| #15 Michelle Obama has already become the icon for "angry black woman" whether she or her admirers will admit it. Not that there's anything wrong with that... |

| #13 Four thousand years of history and several tens of thousands of years of prehistory full of famine, starvation, and want. In a relatively microscopic period of time, we're now bitchin about an epidemic of obesity, something that up till this time only afflicted the 1 percent of the 1 percenters. |

| #11 Then kid is as Kansan as Sebilius. I'd never even heard that recipe whispered in real life, foo foo restaurants, or cookbooks; and makes my tummy flip a bit. |

| #7 "Yummy Cabbage Sloppy Joes" If they have to put 'Yummy' in the name, you know it isn't. But it does give you a nice taste of what four more years of Obamanomics will bring when no one can afford hamburger. |

| #6 She's stuck on stupid and Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Dig no deeper. |

| #5 These little kids are a WH food experiment. Sort of along the lines of Let's see if Mikey Will Eat It, He'll Eat Anything". Next comes the Soylent Green. Where's the closest Subway or Burger King? |

| #4 Okay, you got us there, a Bangladeshi kid pro'ly would eat a Strawberryana Smoothie... |

| #3 Bangladesh Um...probably not. I'm around Bong's (euphemism for East Bengali's/Bangladeshi's) all the time when I am in India and there are things even they won't eat. They eat mostly rice, subzi and chappatti's. |
