Speaking of liberal indoctrination by edutainment programs, Michelle Obama’s efforts to turn us all into communist vegans is not stopping at Sesame Street. Food Network announced that Iron Chef America will be airing a special two-hour episode Jan. 3, taped at the White House, featuring the First Lady and her much-publicized kitchen garden.

Says the network, host Alton Brown will bring chefs Bobby Flay, Emeril Lagasse and Mario Batali to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to battle with White House Chef Cristeta Comerford. The four chefs, divided into teams, will have to devise a five-course “American meal,” using ingredients plucked from the garden. Ted Allen (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) will be on hand to do floor reporting, and to make viewers go gay.
