AMERICAN GROWN FOOD FIGHT! OBAMA vs. DEAN!
First lady MICHLLE OBAMA fuming as PAULA DEEN dishes on her unhealthy eating habits despite new book American Grown PR blitz!
MICHELLE OBAMA is now furious with Southern cooking queen PAULA DEEN for crowing that the first lady, a healthy-eating advocate whos waging a war against childhood obesity, pigs out on fattening foods.
While plugging her new book, Paula Deens Southern Cooking Bible, the feisty TV chef took a pot shot at Michelle for gorging herself on greasy french fries, fatty hot chicken wings and sugary deep-fried Snickers bars!
Michelles spitting mad, a source told The ENQUIRER.
She thinks Paula is trying to smear her and her family just as the 2012 presidential election race swings into gear.
The trouble first began before Barack Obama was even elected president in 2008, when Michelle made a guest appearance on Deens popular Paulas Party show and revealed that fried shrimp was her familys favorite meal.
Then in an interview after filming the program, Paula quipped that Michelle would be serving high-fat, greasy and sugary foods in the White House if Obama won the election!
Now Paula is rehashing those attacks on Michelle in an attempt to plug her latest cookbook and offset Michelle's new book about eating healthy, noted the source.
Shes no different than the rest of us, Paula said about Michelle in a new interview.
Paula added: She probably ate more than any other guest I ever had on the show! She kept eating even during commercials. Know what (the Obamas) favorite foods are? Hot wings. Yknow those kinds of foods that arent necessarily top-of-the-list healthy foods.
Michelle now deeply regrets ever being on Paulas show, added the source. There are a lot of digs she would have been able to brush off, but portraying her as a high-calorie gorger during her crusade for healthy eating is crossing the line.
