Doctors want Obama to stop eating deadly hot dogs

5/10/2012

Look out, Mr. President, they're coming for your lunch. A doctors group is filing a petition calling for President Obama -- as well as his family and Cabinet members -- to stop eating such unhealthy foods as burgers and hot dogs in public because it sets a bad example. Processed meats "kill more Americans every year than tobacco does," said Susan Levin of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. "The White House would never set up a photo op showing the president buying cigarettes, so why is it OK to show him eating a hot dog?" Next they'll be trying to take away his baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet.
