We’re wondering if First Lady Michelle Obama made him say this…because we all know our president loves hamburgers.
But when asked by a group of children at the White House Kids State Dinner what his favorite food was, President Obama surprised us all and probably grossed the kids out when he replied “broccoli.”
Broccoli? You’re the President of the United States and you could eat any food in the world you’d like. And you picked broccoli? You’re breaking our 5-year-old hearts, Obama.
According to the Washington Post:
“My family when they cooked vegetables, they would just boil them and they’d get all soft and mushy,” Obama said. “Nobody wanted to eat a pea or a Brussels sprout because they’d be all mushy.
“But now I actually like vegetables,” Obama said, “because they’re prepared right.”
Yeah, we like vegetables too. And we’re glad the president is eating healthier. But just for old time’s sake, let’s remember the good ol’ days:
#NeverForget.
