Mrs Obama says "num num num num"

Turn off the heat— the frogs are finished

"num num num num"

Res Ipsa LoquitorThe addition of healthy selections is courtesy of
 the “Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act,” which was signed into law on Dec. 13, 2010.  The act subsidizes and regulates what children eat before school, at lunch, after school, and during summer vacations in federally funded school-based feeding programs.
 
It also, for the first time, gives the federal government the authority to regulate the food sold at local schools, including in vending machines.
 
During the signing ceremony for the law, Mrs. Obama said the federal government has a responsibility for what children eat at school.  “When our kids spend so much of their time each day in school, and when many children get up to half their daily calories from school meals, it’s clear that we as a nation have a responsibility to meet as well,” she said [I am not making this up]

 November 6, 2012  is not just an election; it's a very last chance.

The byproduct of this is kids will not want to eat the meals the schools provide and will bring their lunches from home. Maybe we can clean up some of the free or reduced lunches roles. The son and heir is already complaining about cale chips.

They could eat all of the junk they wanted if they were allowed to run around and burn it off at recess like we used to do.

USMC2841: Unfortunately, as has happened before with USDA inspectors, the government will determine your lunch brought from home doesn't meet the 'dietary requirements' they recommend, confiscate your homemade lunch, and force you to buy government-mandated chicken nuggets (or cale chips, or whatever else the school is trying to sell you).

Ugh.

All I can say is: when the ribs are right, everything is well with the world! BTW, you got any Slaw to go with that rack?

A bottle of room service champagne for 45 bucks, that's pretty reasonable.

"rack" is not a word I normally associate with Mrs. O'Bama.

At first glance I thought an Alien facehugger had become lunch.

No doubt moosh could do that.

"Chicago Public School Bans Home-Packed Lunches"

"Principal Elsa Carmona said her intention is to protect students from their own unhealthful food choices."

"Nutrition wise, it is better for the children to eat at the school," Carmona said. "It's about the nutrition and the excellent quality food that they are able to serve (in the lunchroom). It's milk versus a Coke. But with allergies and any medical issue, of course, we would make an exception."

Anyone else notice that the restaurant charged taxes on the tip? So, the customer paid the taxes on that labor charge, then the proprietor will undoubtedly pass it on to the wait staff, who will pay the labor taxes yet again. While the Prop will undou8btedly not pay taxes, but will claim exemptions for what he's paying his staff. And we have our government employees, no matter how highly place, still employees, wasting tax money to pay tax money . . . .
