This was on Examiner.com. Passing it on for what it's worth. The confrontation took place on the Jay Leno Show.
Michelle Obama jumps on Gabby Douglas for eating a McDonald's Egg McMuffin.
Leno asked Douglas, You trained your whole life, you win. How did you celebrate?
Douglas responded by saying, We didn't have time to celebrate. It was team finals and had to turn the page all-around finals and event finals after that. But, after the competition, I splurged on an Egg McMuffin at McDonalds.
Leno responded, Egg McMuffin to which Michelle Obama jumped in with, Yeah, Gabby, we don't, don't encourage him, I'm it was on...a whole wheat McMuffin.
Leno said So an Egg McMuffin. Very good. and Obama said You're setting me back, Gabby.
The Gabby Douglas said sorry after that to Michelle Obama.
The first lady had taken on a cause and appointed herself an unofficial czar of childhool obesity and has taken to lecturing all who will listen on how and what to eat despite not having any formal training in health care, diet or nutrition. Having taken on this role, Michelle Obama sees fit to condemn Gabby Douglas for celebrating a years-in-the making life time achievement by eating a single Egg McMuffin at McDonald's.

Considering all the facts involved, I think she should practice what she preaches.

IMHO:
Michelle and her husband have simultaneously proven the Peter Principle. Congratulations to both!

Maybe she should compare butt sizes and then make such a dumb statement. Gabby worked hard to get where she was and one Micky Ds sandwitch will never show like all the high living on my dime food Ms. MOB has had. Gabby can loose that one treat in one warm up workout. :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

I was watching that show as that incident occurred and I "cringed" when I heard Michelle Obama begin to lecture Gabby about it, and I felt so sorry for Gabby, something so innocent was turned into something bordering on ugly and for WHAT?
