BALTIMORE – School students eating half of a Hot Pocket or mystery mush probably won’t take comfort in what President Obama is eating for lunch.
While Obama was in Baltimore, he stopped in at Charmington’s cafe, a site selected because of “its owners’ policies around minimum wage and paid sick leave,” according to Patch.com.

The president gave a speech in which he was advocating for mandated paid sick leave and a higher minimum wage.
While at the cafe, the president reportedly ate “a roast beef sandwich” and a “turkey avocado wrap,” according to a reporter with the City Paper.

The Associated Press reports Obama also had a “side salad.”
