Dear Michelle, please feed your husband! He's looking too thin.

[Mimosa]

OK, folks, I'm serious.

Dear Michelle, you're an admirable First Lady. But since Inauguration Day, our President appears to have lost 15 or more pounds he didn't need to lose. I've been watching. It's long been said the Presidency takes a toll on the men (so far) who've been entrusted with its heavy responsibilities.

I wish I were Obama's personal chef. I wouldn't feed him unhealthy foods, but I'd try to get some more nourishment into him. His complexion is getting pale. His hair is thinning. Worst of all his face is looking drawn.

I'd feet him some nice braised dishes like Coq au vin blanc with potatoes gratin and braised kale. Sort of Mediterranean/Provencal soul food as a base cuisine. Croissants, fruit and Chobani yogurt for breakfast. Steel cut Irish oatmeal with whole milk and cafe au lait or tea. Fritatta with spinach and feta cheese, turkey sausage and good whole grain muffins at brunch on Sundays. Also the occasional real soul food meals, including buttermilk fried chicken, greens, blackeyed peas, rice, fried okra, chopped salad and corn bread.


Michelle, it is my opinion that you hired your chef with a lookout towards keeping yours and the girls weight down. Women put and maintain on weight more than men, it's a fact. A sous chef is needed to cook a different menu for our dear President, if you don't want to eat more robustly.

Also, try Nioxin's patented formula 'Recharge' Vitamins. They work very well to strengthen hair and nails, which mean they genuinely help the body as a whole. Obama's hair has been thinning, in case you have not noticed.
