Mom-in-Chief: If you were president, would you make your kids' food?
Filed under: Nutrition: Health, Media
Last night I
was watching ABC's
Commander-in-Chief. In the opening scene, our fictional first lady was in the residence, getting her
family ready for the day. She was popping up the toaster oven and taking out grilled cheese? toast? for her youngest
daughter, which she slid on the table as she talked about the possibility of running for re-election in the next
cycle.
I couldn't hear the dialogue, because my mind was blown. Here she is, the first female president ever, and she's cooking for her family!?! I mean, sure, it's just toast, but if I was president, I just know that I wouldn't have time for that. I mean, I barely have time to make toast for myself now, and I'm just as blogger. And for what the heck else do you have a team of chefs at the ready? Isn't it a waste of taxpayer time & money for you to be cooking?
If you were president, would you cook for your family? And sure, you'd cook a nice meal during vacation, or maybe Sunday dinner, if there were no major congressional scandals or pending acts of war. But everyday: to toast, or not to toast?

olivia said...I probably wouldn't make the toast (I like peanut butter on wheat with honey and sliced bananas, please - plus some dark roast coffee black and extra hot), but I sure would cook. I mean - COOK. Not toast, but make some bread from scratch, some pot roast or some long cooking meat, maybe make ravilos from scratch, a pretty salad with fresh fixins, some creme brulee. You know: I'd cook.
