Michelle Obama once suggested Americans should eat more vegetables and there was a nationwide freakout.

1. OMG - does this mean a McMuffin for breakfast, a Filet-O-Fish for lunch and a Big Mac for dinner? With fries, of course.

[ProfessorGAC]

4. Well, Not Fries At Breakfast!

They have the hash brown patty for that!

[the nelm]

34. Substitute one of those awful "Hash brown" thingies. n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

53. You Mean The Ones My Wife Likes?

I guess "awful" is subjective.

[the nelm]

57. Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away I actually used to work for them for...

a few years. Agreed, as you say, one's taste is subjective. I always found that after their time in a fryolator they seemed to be especially "greasy" or heavily impregnated in the cooking oil. Maybe it was just the idea of being deep-fried for a second time. They were already pretty greasy in their frozen form. But, again, that's just one opinion. (And I generally absolutely love potatoes no matter how cooked.)

[ProfessorGAC]

64. My Wife As Well

She LOVES her some potatoes. In any form.
I eat those hash browns in the rare occasions I get the burrito breakfast, but I'm getting that for the bur. Just not going to waste the hash browns.

[rampartd]

9. make that 2 burgers and 3 happy meals with a diet coke.

anyone listening since earth day knows decent guidelines, and some even follow them. hell, usda published the food triangle during the depression.

i don't really swap recipes with a guy who eats road kill,

[The Roux Comes First]

35. Actually, It's Worth Considering, Assuming the Road Kill is Fresh

You needn't saturate it in evil cooking oils or rely on other fast food techniques.

Now, mind you, I'm not saying every shoulder cadaver is a good choice.

[rampartd]

59. are those grill marks?

or prints from a steel belted radial?

i'd eat 'dillo or nutria, our most common roadside delicacies.

but i don't think mom would bake a stuffed 'dillo for thanksgiving..

[Blumancru]

14. Maybe...

All of them at the same meal!

[KatyaR]

38. I'll take the Egg McMuffin

as long as it comes with two Hash Browns. Yum.

[mentalsolstice]

48. Actually an Egg McMuffin is one of the healthiest options

From a fast food place. But you have to leave off the hash browns.

[Attilatheblond]

2. Change in American food culture?

Yep, we can't afford it.

[Captain Zero]

3. So we all have congestive heart failure?

and a voice that sounds like we are gargling rocks?

[AZJonnie]

5. Well, that makes things simple. Whatever the USDA recommends going forward, just do the opposite.

[LoisB]

11. Exactly.

[SamuelTheThird]

6. He's grotesque

Not sure if he's even human, just a twisted psychic mess

[Mike Nelson]

7. I think we should all want...

... the great physique of The Donald! ... or the natural beauty of the Third Lady! They are such healthy role models!

[I_UndergroundPanther]

62. 2 triangles

For the men’s triangle it stresses meat and more meat. bacon ,beef and hot dogs and burgers. Butter chips and sweets.

For the women the triangle will be a picture of lettuce and the words don’t eat because men hate fat chicks.

[C_U_L8R]

8. Hamberder becomes its own food group?

Pickles and ketchup as vegetables?
Recommended Daily Allowances for double thick shakes?

[BurnDoubt]

22. Suggested during Reagan Regime... No Foolin'!

[Chellee]

25. LOL! Jinx.

I need to learn how to type faster.

(See Reply 23)

[Chellee]

23. Maybe he's channelling the ghost of Reagan.

Remember ketchup as a vegetable in the 80's?

[BurnDoubt]

26. Yep! Yep! Yep! and...

YEP!!!!!

[Marthe48]

46. Just mentioned it to my daughter last night

The felon isn't sharing the tax dollars we paid in, I doubt if he'll share the ketchup.

[LoisB]

10. Yeah. I have often looked at IT and thought to myself - I want to follow his dietary regime.

[Prairie Gates]

12. Does it rhyme with boylent breen?

I mean, I knew beef prices were out of control, but this is ridiculous!

[BurnDoubt]

24. "I have a Modest Proposal"...

Get thee to the nearest Library!!!!!
Jonathan Swift (No relation, presumably, to the Swift Meat Company?)

[madinmaryland]

36. ...

IT’S PEOPLE!!!

[flvegan]

13. We're gonna need more mobility scooters!!

Americans eating themselves to death, now only faster. I read that Trump likes to mash his Big Mac together with a Filet O Fish and make one "sandwich" out of them or something like that.

Yeah, take dietary advice from THAT guy. The epitome of health, indeed!

[Blumancru]

15. The five food groups will be revised

The new five food groups will be:
Hamberders
Cofveve
Fries
Filet of Fish
Tartar sauce

[ananda]

18. And ketchup.

Really red ketchup.

[Blumancru]

37. Maybe it will....

….be reclassified as a wall covering.

[ananda]

41. Good one! I don't see why it couldn't be both.

[Marthe48]

47. Welcome to DU

[hlthe2b]

16. RFK Jr.'s wife, Cheryl Hines says he eats read meat and sauerkraut at every meal (or all possible)

He even tries to get her to carry his sauerkraut in her purse when they eat out.

So maybe we should start the death watch for him too (or at least the cerebrovascular dementia/stroke risk).

Seriously. She was not kidding (apparently).

[Crunchy Frog]

20. He already managed to eat his way to a brain worm.

How much more can he do to himself?

[hlthe2b]

21. Vascular occlusion from clots or endothelial "hardening," will kill the rest of the tissue, not dead from methylmercury

or neurocysticercosis (tapeworm cyst)... End result the same, just how fast...

[Johonny]

56. It must be magic to be married to him

Better her than us

[womanofthehills]

58. Sounds like he's on the carnivore diet

Many body builders and people who want to lose weight are on it. All social media platforms have carnivore diet forums - it’s huge right now. Some nutritionists are going there too - grass fed beef, good fats, and vegetables but no grains and sugar.

He’s probably eating sauerkraut because fresh sauerkraut has probiotics. .

Trump is trying to appeal to MAHA people - but he will keep having his toxic diet cokes & McDonald’s.

[hlthe2b]

60. For decades. He became mercury-intoxicated two 1/2 decades or so ago from his unbelievably high

canned tuna consumption--at a time when this risk was WELL DOCUMENTED--which should tell everyone how 1. arrogant; 2. Ignorant; 3. Uninformed, and 4. Unbelievably STUPID he is. Particularly since this was not long before (or after) he was diagnosed with a possible brain tumor (which turned out, instead, to be tapeworm cysts in his brain from his ingestion of wild road kill or undercooked pork.

And yes, you and I know fermented vegetables have probiotics, but kindly don't give this moron more than a casual acknowledgement for knowing ANYTHING or doing anything for which there is validation--all the while he wants to kill you and me and our children with unproven treatments, nonscientific policies, and disregard for vaccines that have saved millions of lives. So, he eats sauerkraut- which is good, but even a broken clock is correct twice a day, after all. And, RFK Jr is nothing more than a broken clock.

[PCIntern]

17. At this very moment

I am wallpapering my dining room with Heinz ketchup, insignia wallpaper.

[Crunchy Frog]

19. I like a hamberder every once in awhile,

But not effing all the time.

I won't eat raw meat with parasites in it either.

[keep_left]

27. Trump? Dietary guidelines?! Anyone remember this?

According to a book co-written by Corey Lewandowski (Trump's 2016 campaign manager), this was Donnie's "standing dinner order" on Trump Force One: two Big Macs, two Filet-o-Fish, and a "chocolate malted" (actually a shake--McDonalds doesn't serve malts).

The Chapo Trap House podcast did a reading from Lewandowski's book that "spilled the tea", as the kids say, about Trump's horrifying diet.

(By the way, that's none other than RFK Jr in the picture, Mr. "Make America Healthy Again", with a full plate of Mickey D's and a 20-ounce bottle of Coke).

https://democraticunderground.com/100220562634#post6

Trump's Mickey D's feast on his private 757. Corey Lewandowski said this occurred on Trump Force One on the regular.

[Sogo]

28. That's got to be one of the most hilarious concepts I've heard in a long time.

STFU, wormbrain!

[Clouds Passing]

29. And then we will have healthy food cheap, right?

[Paladin]

30. There's just some shit you can't make up.

Dietary advice from trump. Medical advice from RFK Jr. It's a long list.

[Rebl2]

31. Why under

Michelle O. eating better was horrific idea and under orange one it’s a good idea.

[Just Jerome]

32. I like Buddy's

food groups better:

Candy
Candy canes
Candy corns
Syrup

[Hope22]

33. Get me the hell out of here!!

It’s one thing to let him be a madman but this is insanity!

[redstatebluegirl]

39. Will orange mango give up his big macs?

[twodogsbarking]

40. My wife was still teaching during the Obama years. The lunches were modified to healthier cholces.

Caught on with the kids right away.
Waste went way down. Kids got breakfast if needed. That's the way to do it.

[maxsolomon]

42. R.e. Farrenberg's comment:

There wasn't a "Nationwide Freakout", there was a manufactured RW Propaganda freakout. If Obama did it, it was Communism.

RFK, as usual, is inventing a problem that he'll solve by proposing a solution Dems have already implemented.

My Plate HAS ALREADY REPLACED THE FOOD PYRAMID: https://www.myplate.gov/

[eppur_se_muova]

49. Interesting that My Plate specifies "protein" but doesn't mention meat. That's progress !

Also, acknowledges the way billions of people around the world eat already -- an estimated 22% of all humans are vegetarian.

[maxsolomon]

54. But the only thing you're allowed to drink is "dairy"!

Them dang Libruls r tryna tell me how to live mah life!

[eppur_se_muova]

61. If ketchup is a vegetable, OJ is a fruit ! nt

[I_UndergroundPanther]

63. You mean raw dairy

[Joinfortmill]

43. This menace, Trump, has been an albatross around our necks since he came down his golden escalator

[Totally Tunsie]

44. We're DOOMED!

[TomSlick]

45. Surely no one is going to make decisions about their diet based on recommendations by RFK, Jr. or Trump.

Neither of them are the picture of health or have two working brain cells to rub together.

[eppur_se_muova]

50. That would seem obvious wouldn't it ? But N O O O O O O O O O O O .... nt

[marble falls]

51. Hey RFK Jr and TACO, you two fools first.

[Irish_Dem]

52. Trump will control every aspect of our lives.

[DBoon]

55. so eating whole grains and fresh vegetables will become a woke act of resistance?

"Give me celery or give me death"
