Michelle Obama ‘Too Fat’: FOX News Doctor Says First Lady ‘Needs To Drop A Few’

Michelle Obama is considered “too fat” to represent healthy living. This is according to FOX News contributor, Dr. Keith Ablow, a board-certified psychiatrist. His comments made on Outnumbered that the first lady needs to “drop a few” pounds is firing up a lot of people.

Michelle is an advocate for her program, “Let’s Move!” which promotes ending childhood obesity. Time reports that the Tuesday segment of Outnumbered featured Dr. Ablow daring to be blunt by speaking his mind when it comes to Obama being a role model for eating healthy.

The FOX doctor says:

“How well could she be eating? She needs to drop a few. Let’s be honest. We’re taking nutrition advice from who? Well, no let’s be honest, like there’s no french fries happening. Like that’s all kale and carrots. I don’t buy it.”

Albow emphasized his comments to Politico after he took a lot of heat for his comments on Outnumbered.

“Well, I’m just saying. I want some nutritional advice from Barack,” the controversial psychiatrist tells them, unapologetic for his remarks.

“I’m not taking food advice from an American who dislikes America, who in many photographs during her tenure as first lady is obviously not fit, and who has a record of saying things that show that she’s two-faced. This should be obvious, I don’t know why it isn’t.”

Dr. Ablow also put it this way:

“It happens to be the case that the first lady during her tenure has not been consistently a picture of fitness. That’s all, it is just a fact.”

Tuesday afternoon Fox News senior meteorologist, Janice Dean, tweeted:

“Dear @keithalbow “please keep your comments about women ‘dropping a few’ to yourself. Sincerely, all women. #outnumbered”

According to Body Measurements, Michelle Obama is not “too fat” by any means. The website reveals that the first lady is a dress size 8 and weighs 170 pounds at 5-foot-8-inches tall. She has a BMI of 23.7, which is considered normal. It further adds that her measurements are 36-28-39 inches.

Many are taking offense at what Dr. Ablow is saying about the nation’s first lady as she works hard to help the epidemic of obesity in children. Michelle has discussed her health habits when it comes to being active. She’s mentioned in the past that she gets up at 4 am to exercise. She’s also famous for having toned, sculpted arms.

Do you think Michelle Obama is “too fat” or that she looks healthy and is a shining example for her cause against obesity?
