President Donald Trump serves fast food to another title team, North Dakota State, the FCS champions

Source: USA Today

Trump welcomed the Football Championship Subdivision champions — the North Dakota State Bison — to the White House on Monday. And, according to a pool report, he served them a lunchtime spread of Big-Macs, Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches and french fries, among other fast-food items.

Trump served a similar meal to the Clemson Tigers when they visited the White House in January.

According to the pool report, Trump told the Bison that he could've served them a meal prepared by chefs, but "I know you people." Several players laughed, according to the pool report.

What this bozo doesn't realize is that these young athletes are probably more sophisticated than HE is. Moron.

He called this country a sh*t hole because Obama had been president for 8 years. Obama, one of the highest regarded presidents in history, even during this recent era of political divide. Trump is raw sewage and his brain cavity is filled with dead maggots.

They'll write the contract forcing you to repay them 60 pieces of silver...and then they won't deliver the 30 pieces you thought you borrowed. It is how the Trumps work.

he only eats fast food and is at pains to eat anything else. so while he's trying to be "just one of the guys" it has more to do with him being selfish.

He lied about the Clemson menu attributing it to the shut down over his wall. We know he lied, because he offered no such similar excuse this time. Just because he jokes about it to the players, doesn't mean he isn't mocking them. He won't offer them more than fast food, because he wants everyone to know what he thinks of them. His base has long had a movement even among tea party members that they 'don't follow sports because it is too political'. He is playing to those individuals. There is a clerk at our local convenience store who when I first asked him about a big game on tv, if he knew the score or had heard anything about the score, instead of saying "Sorry I don't" and leaving it at that, he made a point of explaining that he did not follow sports because it was too political.

I will agree with you that Trump is a crap head.

Fast food is addictive (see "Supersize Me&quot and he is an addict. I'm not and many other people who value their health aren't.

When a young couple go out to dinner for prom, all dressed up, do you think they go to McDonald's? I don't think so!

Mon Mar 4, 2019, 03:56 PM

At Nebraska, athletes dine on specially made entrees such as mahi mahi steaks, bison meatloaf or chicken marsala at the Lewis Training Table.

Nebraska will spend $3.3 million this year on athlete nutrition. In addition to the high-quality food at the training table and healthy snacks at fueling stations, the budget covers a director of food service, executive chef, registered sports dietitian and three assistants, and more than a dozen other staffers.

"We know from anecdotal evidence that what you eat can either elevate you or hold you back," said Lindsey Remmers, Nebraska's director of performance nutrition. "So you've got to provide the food because we know they don't go out and go grocery shopping on their own. They won't eat (right) unless it's here.”

Clemson this year opened a $55 million football-only building featuring a dining hall where, once everything is up and running for the defending national champions, a player's biometric readings will help determine his recommended diet for the day. The player will put his thumb on a scanner and step on a scale, and his personal menu will be produced based on the information gleaned from the readings.

Chicago Tribune

It's a story about the differences between "Power 5" programs like Nebraska and Clemson, and non-power 5 programs like North Dakota State, but the reality is that athletes generally don't eat shitty food such as what the president is serving to them.

I played DIII football way back in the mid 1980s and even then, at the small college level we didn't eat garbage like that. These days scholarship athletes (I was decidedly NOT a scholarship athlete) have their intake- portions, foods, time of consumption, everything- regulated to such an extent that I am quite sure they eat no fries, or Macs, or Chick-fil-a whatsoever.


What a dummy.

My friends and I were always talking about the latest best food combinations, the best supplements to take, the best time to eat, exercise, and rest, etc, to be the biggest, strongest, and fastest.

NEVER did McDonald's or any other fast food enter into that equation. EVERYONE knew that fast food is bad for you. We all go for the best athletic performance.

When you eat that shit your body wants more because it's loaded with sugars, simple carbs, and fats. Your body gets used to those things and wants them regularly because they provide immediate satisfaction, nevermind what happens an hour or so later.

It's doubly bad because food like that is cheap- inexpensive calories are a necessity for people with extremely limited economic means. The end result is a big hit on the health of people least likely to have decent health insurance.
