    That’s a good choice of for a snack especially in winter! Fat cakes, or ‘magwinya’ is a very popular dish in Botswana, not the healthiest dish, but very tasty. Good choice First lady!

    Thank you for visiting our country, Michelle, sorry you didn’t have time to come to Francistown.
    Fat cakes are traditional Tswana, but French Fries!!!!??? I am sorry someone didn’t offer you Seswaa, which is also traditional. Please come back and next time bring your husband to see our very beautiful country.

    Can you please explain exactly why you call her a hypocrite?

    Because she wants to tell Americans what they should and should not eat while she eats french fries and fat cakes.
    It’s hypocritical to admonish people for the type of food they eat unless you adhere to the same standards.
