Feds... School bake sales go on a diet.

[atvdave]

Thank you Michelle Obummer.....


New federal law puts bake sales on a diet- MSN Money

Thank goodness we have once again protected the children and eliminated another horrible threat to their well-being.

The federal .gov knows best.

I would follow Michelle to the gates of hell. Then I would kick her through and run.

They told me that if I voted for Mitt Romney, the government would tell us what to eat and drink--and they were right!

 

[atvdave]

Now that schools will see a decrease in funding from fund-raising, I'm sure our taxes will make up the difference.... Think about the children...

 

[Birds Away]

Now I'm hungry for a cupcake.

 

[CathyInBlue]

What business is it of the feds?

 

[Snapdragon]

I'm sure Salad Sales will go over way better.

Only in Hidden Valley… if their own propaganda is to be believed.

Another great reason to disintegrate the department of education. No money to schools means no freaking federal mandates.

The feds said they left plenty of discretion to the states. The only problem is that if the states actually use some discretion, the fed tit dries up.

Why can't they just leave us alone?

Hidden Valley sucks, Kraft ranch with bacon, maybe.

I suddenly have he urge to eat a Texas sheet cake, with extra frosting, while drinking a coke and sucking down pixie stix. I get the childhood obesity concerns, but shouldn't what students eat and/or sell, be left up to their parents? I'll stop here before I get whacked with a certain hammer.

Said Tennessee's Mr. Sevier: "It's not like we're going to have a brigade of black helicopters coming in to check."

I would so love to win a book on a walk, of course a book picked by the gubberment.

Talk to your school boards and state DOEs about that. They're the ones clamoring for more Federal dollars like sharks on a chum bucket.

maybe if parents had their fat ****ing kids go outside and play instead of giving them babysitter xbox we wouldnt have a bunch of fat ass kids. i ate all types of ****ty food at school and at home. it was the kids that dont do jack **** and just scarf down the entire lunch line/mcdonalds thats the problem. i know i was forced to played outside everyday. i know one great thing that helped was my mountian bike. i road that ***** everywhere and i was thin as a pole but ate like a horse.

What crap! These clowns have 2 1/2 more years to pile on us and not a damn thing we can do about it. The only shote we have is to take the Senate from the social elitists and keep the House. Then concentrate on minimizing the damage our first foreign POTUS wants to foist on jus.

I changed career direction a couple of years ago and now work in healthcare. It's completely changed my view. Here are the three "Ah-Ha" things that I've learned:

Americans are the most irresponsible people on the planet about our health.
Americans drink, smoke, eat garbage and sit on their a$$. When they get sick they want a cure from a pill or someone else to pay for it. Fully 80% of the illnesses I see are preventable.
The US healthcare system is a basket case and the most expensive in the world. Problem is that Americans still see it as the best in the world.

With the M. O'bamer menu, many of the kids had never seen the vegetables that were presented to them. Gives you a good idea of the health habits that kids are taught at home.

Let's balance the desires of the right and left. Let's have healthcare for all citizens. But you pay a premium based on your health. Your premium is based on the results of your yearly physical. Don't take your physical? Cannot go to a hospital. Sorry, you are not participating. Wanna smoke? No problem. Be 50 lbs overweight? Not an issue. Eat the garbage called processed foods and the poison called fast food? Knock yourselves out. You are free to do what you like. You can live however you like. But it will send your premium up, it will cost you. Base everyone's premium on how you choose to live. That way, those of you who don't care about your health can pay for the choices you make.

So what do you think? Make sense?
