In Savannah, Ga., today, two days out from that physical that called for the president to try to bring down his LDL cholesterol, Obama nonetheless stopped for lunch at a not-health-restaurant called Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room. "I don't want any lectures about my cholesterol. Don't tell Michelle," the president joked to the press, according to today's pool reporter, Tangi Quemenera of Agence France-Press.

The president, who just yesterday ditched his motorcade to walk back to the White House from a U.S. Chamber of Commerce event, citing his cholesterol numbers as a motivator for the exercise, today ordered sweet tea and a plate of Southern food.
