How else do you celebrate National Pancake Day 2011 but with free pancakes at IHOP? Today, Tuesday is Pancake Day in America and across the land, from 7am till 10pm, the International House of Pancakes is offering free pancakes. Guests can get a free short stack of delicious buttermilk pancakes. However, don′t think there isn’t some sort of catch. IHOP is holding a special charity promotion to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network. The charity raises money used to help some 165 children’s hospitals across the country. Since the pancakes are free, you are obliged to kick in a few bucks to help a worthy cause. This is almost as good as next week Tuesday′s Paczki Day 2011.
Probably not everybody is thrilled by free pancakes at IHOP. You can probably guess whom I going mention. Yes, needless to say, First Lady Michelle Obama. The Queen of Mean-Lean has been talking up a storm on childhood obesity. She even recently entered the fray on the subject of breast-feeding babies. There seems to be no limit to her push for a Nanny-State, governing what citizens do, and put inside, their bodies.
A short-stack of three IHOP buttermilk pancakes may surprise you should you bother to read the nutritional information, now required by law. While only 490 calories, the plate of pancakes have 18 grams of fat, 80 milligrams of cholesterol, 13 grams of sugar and a whopping 1,610 milligrams of sodium. That’s salt to you regular folks. So you can bet your last dollar-sized pancake that Michelle Obama won’t let her husband or children anywhere near an IHOP today.
So First Lady Michelle Obama may not like it, but today is National Pancake Day 2011 and you can get free pancakes at IHOP until 10pm in your local time zone. The free short stack of three buttermilk pancakes is part of a promotion to raise money for the charity, the Children′s Miracle Network, which supports some 165 children’s hospitals across the land. If Michelle Obama doesn’t like this, she better get ready because next week Tuesday is Mardis Gras, or also known as Fat Tuesday. For folks in the Detroit area near the city of Hamtramck, it′s better known a Paczki Day 2011. If the First Lady thinks pancakes are bad, just wait till those delightfully delicious fried paczkis, filled with raspberry jam or custard, start flying off of shelves.

It’s amazing how your articles can go from interesting to right-wing pedestrian blah-blah-yadda-yadda-*yawn* crap in no time flat!
I’m surprised this article didn’t spin into some s0cialist ‘agenda’, the c0mmies at IHOP trying to guilt people into donating money through the guise of free pancakes in order to help children.

“Michelle Obama won’t let her husband or children anywhere near an IHOP today.”
There are 15 government food safety programs of which only 4 have been evaluated.
Michelle oughta worry about that obese statistic instead.
On a side note.
Anyone ever notice how Qaddafis face looks like Michelles ass pressed up against a window ?

Hey Snow,
This IS RIGHTpundits!
Of course we’re going to use any story to slam Socialist Obama and his wife.
March 1st, 2011 at 4:25 pm
Hahaha! Micky! I have to admit have not considered any connection between Qaddafi’s face and Michelle Obama’s butt. Not that I pay much attention to either. So I’ll just take your word on it. No need for any links or images.
March 1st, 2011 at 4:28 pm
Micky,
At least Obama handed out free doctors lab coats to the bunch he did a photo-op with during the health care debate. I doubt if Fancy-Nancy gave those crippled children anything, except maybe nightmares of her ugly face.

Snow;
“No, I’m talking about spinning sh*t, much like you’re doing right this second.”
Really ?

“The Democrats hit a new low for themselves when it comes to their responses to President Bush’s radio address when, this week, they used a child to deliver their weekly radio address. Twelve year old Graeme Frost was in a serious auto accident where he suffered severe brain trauma, and due to the CHIP program, he was able to get the medical care that he needed.
“Hi, my name is Graeme Frost. I’m 12 years old and I live in Baltimore, Maryland. Most kids my age probably haven’t heard of CHIP, the Children’s Health Insurance Program. But I know all about it, because if it weren’t for CHIP, I might not be here today. ”
You should read the rest.
Its sickening

Michelle Obama is the ‘biggest’ (take it any way you want) hypocrite there ever was as First Lady! She’s worse than Hillary!
March 1st, 2011 at 4:51 pm
BTW, what school is on break now for her to take the girls overseas for skiing and fish-n-chips? Do they go to a school in Wisconsin that the teachers are all out of? This just smacks of Elitism. Let them eat pancakes!
March 1st, 2011 at 5:55 pm
Really ?
Yes. See, you’re continuing to do such. I have no problem saying the left has plenty of idiots, and are manipulative in a lot of cases, of course I have no problem saying the same about the right.
Michelle Obama is the ‘biggest’ (take it any way you want) hypocrite there ever was as First Lady! She’s worse than Hillary!
Well, it’s because any time she eats anything unhealthy the right makes a story out of it. You guys are worse with Michelle’s petty crap then the left is with Palin’s. She could eat perfectly healthfully 95% of the time, but the second she eats a freedom fry you guys start frothing at the mouth.

“Yes. See, you’re continuing to do such.”
Without minorities and faux victimization the left would have nothing to do.
No doubt theres scum on both sides.
But theres just too much hypocrisy on the left on so many more issues its ridiculous
The right has its Christians dictating ethics and morals but the left covers the entire spectrum of human activity spanning from sex to the weather.
The even managed to merge those two on a moral platform.
Green sex !

you guyz clearly are less than idealy healthy in mind and body, that much we can all agree on. And we do nearly every day. However, iHop does make a very tasty multifiber, nut, pancake breakfast, and topped with a sliced banana and a little of those delicous syrups one can chose from, and the bottomless pot of coffee and the friendly, and it is, wait service, y8ou can really enjoy a powerful breakfast that will fuel you thru the most difficult day. One of the great things about America is for around a ten spot you can get such good breakfast food as a treat, with no dishes to clean. So for less than a half hours pay, in America, you can buy enough delicious hot food to eat enough to last you from morning to nightime. We truely are gifted in this Nation to be able to do this. They can’t do this in egypt, libya, tunisa, algeria, iraq, iran, or even europe I dare say. You are more lucky than you know.

Yeah Brian.
I used to buy my dope at the Anaheim IHOP.

Well, it’s a bit annoying. She’s actually trying to send a positive message and you guys get all bent about it. If Palin were sending a message trying to get our fat-ass nation to think about their weight you guys would be all about it.
She’s clearly not unhealthy despite her big ass. She’s actually in pretty good shape, but you guys hone in on the one trait (that MANY black women have, no matter how fit). The gym I go to has a black girl that is WAY in shape and she has a big ass, so what.
You guys just love to hate, that’s all. If it comes from the left you hate it, no matter what. For example, if Obama went to a school and read ‘My Pet Goat’ you guys would go absolutely ballistic. He would be ’sending his s0cialist, m@arxist, c0mmunist, (insert scary word here) message to the all the little children, wasting time, blah blah blah’.

Andrew the average person needs 2-2.5 grams of sodium a day to just live and if they are in hot environments, working outdoors, sweating in sports and all they will need even more. 1.5 grams of sodium a day is considered a highly restricted diet. Even a processed turkey meat and slice of processed cheese sandwich will give you close to a gram and quarter of salt. 18 grams of fat alone, assuming not transfats, and if as long as not more than 10 or so grams of saturated fat isn’t really so bad. Ideally try and keep your daily saturated fat content under 8-12 grams or so and your doing exceptional, a splurge once in a while shouldn’t be a health shaking problem. Have a light lunch or yogurt, a bit of cereal and fruit and your fine. A single pat of butter is 15 grams saturated fat. So mix and match. Splurging one meal and adjusting the others is just fine, or splurging one day and eating extra lean the next is fine too. This idea we have to eat the same bloody diet day in and day out is nonsense. With the exception of water, you can really look at your food cylce as being closer to 72 hours or 3 days, as long as it all balances out your fine. Now heavy fat loads are said to case coronary vasospasms, so as you get older don’t push it as hard. Anyways, you can double the fiber content and quarter the saturated fat content quite easily and if your going to eat more unsaturated fat, try adding monosaturated fats. 80mg of cholesterol a day is about a third an egg, hardly a health crises. If you eat a health breakfast four or five days a week, you can certainly splurge on one or two days and just adjust your overall daily intake of the splurge items. When the syrups are too sugary then just substitute a small banana or pieces of raw real fruit or raisins or currents. One advantage of not eating the same fat load every day is you down regulate your fat digesting enzymes within 3 days so that then you cannot absorb all you eat and it just goes by the wayside. Eating the exact same fat load every day will induce the enzymes necessary to eat it all. One advantage to selective short term fasting is you downregulate the enzymes to digest the protein, fat, and carbs, so that when you do start to eat your actually partially protected for a few days.

Hey, if you want the first lady’s approval on anything just put a scoop of ice cream on it.
March 2nd, 2011 at 4:46 am
@ Brian,
I am well aware that people need salt to survive. In some climates, you need even more than 2.5 grams a day.
The ‘REAL’ problem here is collectivism. The Nanny-State crowd tries to lump all of humanity into one category…a slave of the State that must comply with a set standard. But the Truth is that we are all individuals and all different. In some cases, even on a biochemical level.
March 2nd, 2011 at 4:50 am
If you click on the link to the LA Times article I listed, and scroll down a bit, you’ll find a link to another article in the LA Times about how another new study shows that eating a greasy breakfast of bacon, eggs and hash browns is actually good for some people. DUH! Even some with diseases like diabetes fair better when they have such a meal first thing in the morning. Usually because eating a big breakfast is better than eating a big dinner, since you have all day to process it while you’re active.
The ‘average’ person can only digest 4oz of protein during a 12 hour period of ‘average’ activity. Athletes, as we all know, burn food at a much faster rate. It just irritates me to no end that the Liberal-Progressive mentality is to feign equality in this area where we are anything but equal.
March 2nd, 2011 at 4:53 am
Yes, FM,
Michelle has a fondness for her triple-chocolate brownie ice cream sundaes. Something which I can certainly understand and agree with! Only somebody either insane, or with some allergy or biochemical aversion to chocolate, would disagree with her choice of favorite dessert items.

“If Palin were sending a message trying to get our fat-ass nation to think about their weight you guys would be all about it.”
There lays the difference.
———————————————–
Eating a good breakfast is subjective.
Where was it ever written that it had to consist of refined carbs, a pound of sugar and a pound of animal fat with a scoop of cholesterol ?
I could never get all that sht down first thing in the morning without falling back to sleep.
Up until a few generations ago no one in most cultures ate these monstrosity meals first thing in the morning until bacon was marketed as part of ‘the most important meal of the day’
I knew this was BS a long time ago in my culinary career as the study of nutrition and relevant cultures was a pre requisite.
Becks episode a month or so ago confirmed this.
Then again, I was raised by Danes who traditionally eat light in the morning. Pumpernickel with a thin slice of cheese, soft boiled egg, etc.
“Bernays was hired to help a company sell more bacon and so he got a doctor and basically invented the idea of breakfast as the most important meal of the day and the egg and bacon meal as the perfect dish. It was a fascinating tale, but you’re probably wondering what on earth it has to do with anything? Beck himself kept having to remind viewers that it would all make sense soon. And soon it did.
You see, Bernays used psychology in his work because he learned from his uncle, Sigmund Freud. And you know who else knows a lot about psychology? Cass Sunstein, the Regulatory Czar! And, as Beck points out, Sunstein isn’t just trying to get us to eat Quaker products. Oh no!
This is chilling stuff that’s bound to make viewers think. At the very least, it’ll make them really hungry for bacon.
