     COMMENTS: A Twinkie is not a Cigarette

First Lady Michelle Obama's campaign to improve childhood nutrition ran headlong into the Twinkie question. Should it carry a warning label?

Kraft will remove some salt from its processed foods. And SONY movie theaters will add fruit salad to their concession stands.

The First Husband, meanwhile, was studying his brackets. ESPN's Andy Katz was on hand in the White House for ABC.
