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.

At Instapundit someone commented that you don't see pictures like this in American newspapers.

It also got me to thinking that when he’s out campaigning he eats fatty, unhealthy foods. Remember when he asked a reporter to just let him finish his waffle? Yet he’s thin. Which makes me wonder about the food served at his house. The thought occurs that Michelle may rule the food roost in the White House and when he’s not under her supervision, he eats what he likes. This is a picture of a man who’s enjoying his food.
