First Lady Michelle Obama is raising some eyebrows for her high-calorie lunch Monday.
She got her meal at a new Shake Shack in Washington, D.C.
The burger, fries, and chocolate shake came to more than 1500 calories, according to the restaurant’s website.
Some say the first lady blew it by eating such a high-calorie lunch in public.
Others say critics should cool it.
The first lady has been outspoken on the topic of nutrition, especially when it comes to our country's kids.
Do you think this meal is a set back to the example she's trying to set?
