Getty First Lady Michelle Obama
As the country now knows, First Lady and healthy-eating crusader Michelle Obama stepped into the new Washington, D.C., Shake Shack during lunch on Monday and ordered a hamburger, fries, a chocolate shake, and a Diet Coke. Almost before the cashier could say, “have a nice day,” a firestorm of controversy erupted over the news that the woman who spearheaded the anti-obesity “Let’s Move” campaign consumed a meal totaling 1,700 calories — the equivalent of a day’s worth of calories.
