I too lived on PBJ for years.

Try bringing peanuts into a school today. You will be shot.

Might be a New England thing. Made by hostess. Kind of a square whoopsie pie: two pieces of chocolate cake with cream inside.

Suzy Q -

On my way home from my girlfriends house I would stop at the Johnny Appleseed and get a coke and a pack of Suzy Qs. High school was great.

That, and there is a sh*tload of food on those trays .... way too much for a single meal for a child. I agree ... this is bogus.

Of course, that doesn't detract one iota from the fact that Michelle's lunch dictates are craptacular.

You’re right.

We couldn’t fight another war like that today. For many reasons.

Today we have troops fighting in Afghanistan. The rest of the country is at the Mall and watching TV.

Patriotism has to be taught. It is not always inborn.

I am the generation under the Great Generation, so it was taught. Our children’s generation and grands and great grands no little of Patriotism. To much of game playing and watching smut shows on the boob tube.

Today I’d not let my children watch Sesame Street, it teaches violence with out consequences and bad manners, throwing of hissy fits.

Not only is it in the schools, but hospitals and nursing homes. When I go to the hospital, which is to often for my liking, I get placed on a liquid diet for 3 days. I starve. I can’t eat the over salted broth or the YUCKY to sweet, to high calorie, cholesterol, and sodium Ensure Clear. I drink grape juice, ice tea, and coffee when I can sneak it from the nurses station.

I don’t need a Meneire’s attack on top of the Gastroparesis attack that sent me to the hospital in the first place. Then when I get solid food it is mushy and cold and unseasoned. Go figure that out. I’m screaming about the high sodium in the liquid diet, and the solid comes in not seasoned and cold. I’ve cooked for the Meniere’s for 5 yrs now I know how much salt to use. Put it on the side.

Gasp!! They’re letting children handle metal forks? Don’t they realize forks can be used as weapons?
