Yum.
I hope he doesn’t want to ban antibiotics too or we’ll be in worse trouble than we already are.
By the way:
Recall this?
Nov. 10, 2010 — An effort by Pennsylvania schools to get students to eat healthier is coming under fire from Sarah Palin.
The proposed new guidelines would limit the amount of sweets in classroom parties and reduce the number of holiday and birthday celebrations.
On the proposed regulations, Palin called Pennsylvania a “nanny state run amok.” In protest, she brought 200 sugar cookies to a Bucks County school fundraiser Tuesday.
“I had to shake it up a little bit because I heard there is a debate going on in Pennsylvania over whether most schools condemn sweets, cakes, cookies, that type of thing,” Palin said. “I brought dozens and dozens of cookies to these students.”
Instead, parents would be encouraged to serve healthy snacks, such as fruits or vegetables.
But hey, the two Sarahs never said you shouldn’t serve raw meat, raw egg yolks and raw milk to kids, amirite? Perfectly legit.
It should be noted that Huckasanders is specifically talking about denying food stamps recipients the ability to buy unhealthy food. What she wants is for those people to be restricted in their choices to punish them for being poor. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if she and others want to reduce the subsidy since they won’t be allowed to buy candy or chips or soft drinks anymore. It’s not like she really wants them eat healthy. The rest of her state, however, which currently has a 40% obesity rate, the third highest in the nation, is free to indulge in whatever they want, of course. This is America, goddamnit!
