OMG. Michelle Obama ate a burger and fries.

According to the Washington Post, the First Lady ordered a highly caloric meal of burger, fries, chocolate shake and Diet Coke at the new Shake Shack in Washington D.C. (The Post calculated the amount to be about 1,700 calories.)

Now, some are crying foul, considering the First Lady has been leading the charge against child obesity through the Let’s Move campaign to promote exercise and healthy diet for America’s kids.
