I'm with you, man:
When his wife unveiled the USDA's new nutritional plate yesterday, there definitely wasn't a space for chili dogs.
But that didn't stop Barack Obama wolfing down two in Toledo today - with fries and an extra bowl of chili on the side.
The president happily munched on the unhealthy meal before he visited the city's Chrysler factory, and even teased one of his hosts for ordering ketchup, a faux-pas in his home town of Chicago.
No room on the new "nutritional plate" for the magnificent chili dog? With its combination of meat, vegetables and grain, the only question is where on the plate it belongs. You've probably heard or read that the egg is the most nutritious food when weighing benefits-per-calories. Don't believe it.
The extra bowl of chili on the side does seem like overkill, though. That's a politican for you.
