An article titled "Healthy, Nutritious Food Would have Saved the Titanic" was written by Michelle Obama on theonion.com on April 13, 2012. The article discussed how if the passengers of the Titanic had just eaten some fresh fruit, vegetables, and whole grains as well as made healthier eating choices, they would have been saved from the tragedy. The article mentions how almost a century ago, the Titanic went down, and took the lives of 1,500 passengers with it. Obama claims how the passengers died, since they did not make healthy eating choices, and therefore could not survive, since they had no strength or energy.
This article is important, because it reminds us of the tragedy that claimed so many lives. However, it is also satirical because of its tone as well as its subject matter. The passengers could not have survived if only they had eaten healthier. There might have been cases were some passengers were healthier than others, and could therefore survive longer, but on a larger scale, eating healthy could not have saved everyone. This article also parodies Michelle Obama, because she constantly advocates healthy eating and exercise, although in this context it would not have made much of a difference.

Nice post Nanor. I find it funny that the president and first lady would say something like that. Then again thats probably why it made it to The Onion. Anyway great post keep up the good work. =]
Nice post Nan! I always see Michelle Obama randomly pop up on Disney channel, talking about eating healthy, but this was just to funny! I think the way you wrote the post was very smooth and entertaining. Good job 2020. :)
Hi Nanor! This was a great blog post. Michelle Obama is an advocate of living healthy lifestyles and I find it funny about how The Onion managed to mock Michelle Obama so accurately. This was a great blog post! Good job!

Nice post Nanor. I love reading your posts because they are so good. You present them perfectly an this one was just way to funny.
I found this article to be funny. You are very right about how it does not matter if the people on the titanic ate healthy or not, they would have still not survived. Good job on the post!
Hey Nanor, I found your blog really funny. I agree with you that even if they were healthy, they probably still would not have survived and it is funny that Michelle Obama only seems to talk about eating healthy.
Hey Nanor, great choice in your article! It was very fun to read, it was written in a very smooth manner. I agree with you on the fact that they would still not have survived, even if they ate healthier. Good job, keep it up!
Nanor, this post was very funny and entertaining. I still believe that the Titanic would not have been saved if the passengers ate healthier, the way you said. But that is the humor in the article. Keep up the good work, good job!
