The Olive Garden / Red Lobster restaurant chain announced that, in support of Michelle Obama's anti-obesity campaign, they'll remove french fries from their children's menu. The response was a bit of storm in a teacup yesterday: a number of people loudly protested about this on the Olive Garden Facebook wall. The talismanic message was one which proclaimed: "I have to give up Olive Garden for cowing down to the Obama's" [<i>sic</i>]. The carnage has been cleared from the Facebook page by now, but <a rel="nofollow">a collection of the choice messages</a> can be appreciated.
