‘I don’t want to demonize cream, butter, sugar and eggs’

White House executive pastry chef Bill Yosses is resigning after First Lady Michelle Obama fundamentally changed his job duties to focus on healthier food.

Yosses is leaving the White House in June to work on a new project focusing on “food literacy” and The New York Times says Michelle is “partly to blame.” The openly gay chef was hired by Laura Bush in 2007 to make his trademark cookie plates and sugar sculptures. Mrs. Obama took over in 2009 and ordered Yosses to make healthier plates in smaller portions.

Yosses began replacing butter with fruit puree and sugar with honey and agave. But Yosses was never fully committed to the new policy.

Lol, have fun being unemployed.

Why should he be?
I imagine working in the White House would look rather good on one's resume.

Possibly, but who wants a cook who won't cook what you want because of odd morals.

He did cook what they wanted. He just didn't enjoy doing it.

A chef and artist of that caliber can walk into any major hotel or restaurant in the world and cook what he wants and they'd be glad to get him.
