You call that a bastion of nutrition? The school lunch program is one big fast food operation itself, filled with all kinds of fried and processed foods fed to our poor children. If you want to change that program, be my guest. If you want healthful food on your own menu, then take care of it. But keep your hands off our Big Macs and Whoppers! <\/line><BR\/>This is not something that ought to be happening in a Republican administration. It\u2019s bad enough that you have these extremist, conspiratorial tort lawyers out there ginning up all this anger amongst a bunch of doofus citizens who don\u2019t know how to take care of themselves, or don\u2019t care to. But to then see a Republican Health and Human Services director pretty much get on board: &#8220;I want more choices and healthier choices on their menus, and I want more advertising campaigns.&#8221; This may as well be the IRS calling, wanting to talk to you about your tax return. It sounds like a shakedown. It\u2019s really no different than that. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What business is it of yours what\u2019s on their menu?
