White House senior communications adviser Tara McGuinness does her best to shamelessly but futilely spin the Obamacare train wreck into something resembling good news. It’s generally agreed that the rollout has been a disaster, so you’d think @HealthCareTara would have other things to worry about. Instead, she’s decided to help Americans make the right food choices on Thanksgiving:
PRE-THANKGIVING health update! This visual portion-size T-day guide is kind of awesome. http://t.co/iZuaK9Wvrd – amount of pie = light bulb
— T. McGuinness (NARA) (@Tara44) November 22, 2013
For the above picture they used the light bulb that never goes off over anybody’s head during meetings on how to fix HealthCare.gov.
As it turned out, nobody was up for a lecture on portion control, but many were up for some mockery:
I agree @HealthCareTara. We need Govt mandates on how much pie you can eat. Weekly weigh-ins and tax penalties if you don't comply. #forward

@MartyLeft @JohnFict @LeftyBollocks @HealthCareTara you're not smart enough to choose your own insurance who thinks you can choose a drink?

If portion size is down this year, here’s a possible reason.

@HealthCareTara Oh, I figured it out. These small portions are all I'll be able to afford now that #Obamacare increased my health care costs

When it comes to artificially controlling portion sizes, nobody has done a better job than the Obama administration.
Naturally, any Thanksgiving dinner advice from the Obama administration is accompanied by this promise:
@willrahn @CuffyMeh If you like your pie you can keep your pie.

In closing, we were warned:
@HealthCareTara "someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more" – M. Obama
