Bless your heart, always trying to fix all that ails us, you liberal bastion.
You just went ahead and legislated that effective for the 2012-2013 school year, there shall be no more "unhealthful foods" in school cafeterias, vending machines, and so forth. Admirable, to be sure, but no more white bread for sandwiches? No more flavored milk (and I am sure, though I didn't yet read it, it's not unreasonable to suspect there will also be no more whole milk). I understand the obesity concerns, and agree that we don't need to be serving fried slop or sodas. I disagree that we need to eliminate white bread, flavored milks, etc. Which is better: to have a child drink whole milk, or no milk?
Here's a thought: instead of legislating what we can eat, why not just legislate that schools must bring back recess and physical education?
Just sayin'.
