A kid journalist asked Obama today what his favorite food is. His answer? Broccoli.

Folks – it's impossible that your favorite food is broccoli. This is not even close.

I love broccoli. &most other vegetables. I wouldn't publicly tell a kid it's my favorite because then kid and the public know I'm a liar.

Dear @BarackObama, Jesus knows when you lie. Broccoli is nobody's favorite food.

Nobody likes broccoli unless it's either deep fried or covered in some sort of horribly unhealthy sauce. Sorry. Impeach.

Yeah, I experimented with it in college. RT @SonnyBunch: In my 20s, I supported Broccoli.
