Good Thing They Have A Gym

Check out this quote from an AP article in about what the pastry chefs at the White House are baking for holiday guests:

There will be an estimated 60,000 people touring the White House during the holidays and about one-third of the visitors will be tasting the 20,000 Christmas cookies, 700 assorted holiday cakes, 600 pounds of asparagus and 320 gallons of eggnog.

Along with the chicken-fried steak, there are 10,000 tamales; cheeses from Vermont and New York; 1,000 pounds of steamed shrimp from the Gulf; fresh salmon from Maine; Virginia ham; Maryland crab cakes; lamb; cheesy grits; and orzo salad.

Still hungry? Desserts include cakes, truffles, bread pudding, cherry cobbler and iced cookies in the shape of animals and tree leaves ... At the far end of the State Dining Room sits the traditional gingerbread house, a replica of the White House built with gingerbread and more than 300 pounds of white chocolate.

THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF WHITE CHOCOLATE? Why don't these First People get rounder and rounder? Maybe because of the gym and the personal trainer ... White House perks you need after eating junk food on the campaign trail.
