The rich and powerful are different from you and me. They're fucking freaks. This was Nixon's last meal at the White House...
He could have had his chef prepare pretty much anything and White House chefs are well-known for being fantastic. It's their job is to give the president exactly what he wants. And Nixon wanted that.

this just checks the boxes of 2000s internet wtf but in its context it was not at all unusual. if anything it comes off as a feeble attempt to appeal to common people
cottage cheese + canned pineapple was a classic cheap meal & it's kind of absurd to be rendered in such a formal presentation with presumably fresh pineapple. the tall glass of milk was also not so poorly received as it is now for adults.
The way attitudes to milk have changed is super weird. It used to be like... Normal. We had milkmen! Everyone drank milk.
Now it's weird if you're not a child?
