The Obama administration clearly wants Americans eating healthier, but not everyone is convinced POTUS is, himself, pursuing a healthy diet. Today, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine in D.C. (remember: they’re vegans) asked the White House to launch “an executive order banning staged official photo ops that depict the president, the first family, the vice president, and members of the president’s cabinet with unhealthful foods … that can cause cancer and obesity.” In other words, they want Obama to stop downing pies, hot dogs, and cheesesteaks when cameras are around — something he does quite a bit, it turns out.
