The Department of Agriculture has proposed new rules for the food that will be available for our children at school. The items in the cafeterias and vending machines will be limited to whatever the government decides is good for our youths. I guess that means the government can feed our children whatever they want, just like they have indoctrinated the educational system and many unions.

I do not want to get rid of either education or the unions, I just don't want them controlled by the government. No more executive orders.

The next step by the government will be to direct what foods and drinks can be included in the lunches prepared at home and brought to school. I suppose the first step will be to put the homemade lunches through a calorie and fat detector. Those lunches found to be unhealthy will be disposed of in an environmentally safe way and the disposal area will be fenced and monitored.

Those who do not take their daily dose of stupid will be sentenced to work for a living shoveling some odorous materials out of government offices.
