CLAIM vs. FACT: Bush and Snacking

CLAIM
"The First Family...does not snack...They are very good at respecting meal time hours and do not eat between meals...there is no snacking..."
 - White House Pastry Chef Roland Mesnier, Whitehouse.gov, 7/27/04

FACT
"President Bush fainted for a brief time Sunday in the residence of the White House while eating a pretzel and watching a professional football game on television."
