1. I see no one actually ate one of those healthy apples
They are a bit unwieldy to handle during a meeting. And it makes a bunch of noise when you chomp into one. And then you get some apple peel stuck between your teeth, and everyone is secretly laughing at you. Not to mention the juice dribbling down your chin.

Just an observation. I'm all for childhood obesity meetings.

5. They really ought to have cored and sliced those first.
Whole apples are not good "meeting food", although they do look pretty on the table.

6. Maybe the First Lady handed each one of them an apple before they left.

2. Mmmm. Apples and water! Then they all leave to make sure they
don't miss their $300, four-course lunch engagements.
