The government wants you to grill fruit for the Fourth of July

Forget hamburgers and hot dogs—the U.S. Department of Agriculture is pushing people to grill up pineapple slices, peaches, nectarines and other fruit for their big July 4th feast.

“Throw some grilled pineapple on the grill & get ready to enjoy nature’s candy,” USDA’s “MyPlate” website tweeted out this week. […]

If you must grill meat, USDA is suggesting things like a “low-sodium & tasty recipe for grilled steak with Criolla sauce.”

But there’s not much information on how to make a good burger. When a search for the word “hamburger” is run on the MyPlate site, the first three items that show up are “Tips for Vegetarians,” “healthy eating for vegetarians,” and again, “Tips for Vegetarians.” …

Why should We the People grill anything less than what the Obamas grill, like expensive Japanese steaks.

Most gov’t agencies are chock full of activists of one kind or another.

Wagyu-ing the beef?

Throw some grilled pineapple on the grill

If your pineapple is already grilled, why would you throw it on the grill?

Government idiots will be government idiots...

That is what I was wondering. lol

Hate pineapple, anyway. Wouldn’t grilled veggies be better?

There is so much sugar in pineapple it’s really not a great alternative to a nice bit of brain building, muscle supporting protein. Of course the government doesn’t want you think or fight back...

When I think of vegans I think back to a girl I used to work with. She was vegan and decided to raise her son vegan. Within the year her doctor reported her to the government for causing him to become extremely malnourished.

Later, she gained about 80 lbs and was insulted when I didn’t recognize her some years later. She was In There some where I suppose. Very sad.

I shall cook mammal flesh on my grill.

Beats wagyu-ing the dog.

My wife is out in the kitchen doing something with pork chops, and it smells suspiciously like that........I'm getting hungry.

[mrsmith]

I always grill my fruit.
And I’m good: they always confess!

[Ellendra]

Mom loves grilled pineapple. It goes well on a good chunk of ham.

[madison10]

ummmm...no. We’re grilling brats, hot dogs, maybe we’ll throw in some burgers. Fruit is for a tray with dip.

[Mastador1]

I wonder what bathhouse barry and the lowland ape are having? I bet it’s not fried bananas!

[Mears]

Okay,I give up.

What on earth IS that?

[JoeProBono]

It ain’t fruit

[RetiredTexasVet]

Want to bet on how many of the big wig government thugs will be barbequing fruit .... more probably frolicking with fruit!!

As tasty as grilled pineapple sounds, I’ll be grilling a delicious pork loin rubbed with a mixture of garlic, rosemary and olive oil. Still haven’t decided on my side dishes, though.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Didn’t have them with ice cream, but I have grilled peaches before. Yummy.
