Coincidentally, Check out Kyle Smith's How the Nanny President Sees Himself -- And Us in today's New York Post.

Wow, what a narcissistic pantload. Thanks for the link... which will now be making the rounds on my email list.

25 years or so ago; in the SF Bay area a place opened called “Fresh Choice” it was like 60 foot of salad bar with all the goodies you could ask for including garlic bread, bacon and 10 kinds of dressing. The newspaper got interested and went and got several plates of food from patrons and had the caloric content measured. They then went to Harry's Hofbrau and got several plates of meat, potatoes etc from patrons there and had the calories calculated. Guess what (I bet you have by now) the salad plates AVERAGED 2600 calories and the Hofbrau averaged 1750. Laughed my a$$ off.

I remember when Wendy’s had a salad bar. Unfortunately, I think I was the only person in the country who liked it. Now Wendy’s is back to those juicy hamburgers, and the salad bars are history.
Good luck with this idea.

Wendy’s salad bar was very good.

Carl’s also had a nice salad bar, in SoCal at least.

I miss that.

Just what parents need:

Snot-nosed kids wiping their noses with their hands & then pawing thru a salad bar.

Kids who don’t wash their hands with soap & water after a bathroom trip.

H1N1 Flu will seem like a cakewalk.

Soneone hogtie MOOOCHELLE & hide her for the next 2 years, please.

Shades of the soybean part of Atlas Shrugged......with ‘Ma Chambers”.

LOL! You must have studied ebonics!

Hope they have a “sneeze shield”. . .Can you imagine the grubby little hands touching all the food? Maybe they will have “a cafeteria lady” serve the kids? Wonder if they will send Michelle the food waste to use as compost in her White House garden?

[LA Woman3]

Not a fan of the food trough.....

[basil]

Well, I’m sure she adds some chitlins and bacon grease, just to flavor them up a bit!

You are so right. The janitorial staff will have to stock up on bio hazard grade vomit clean up supplies to handle the results of bad mac salad hitting the kids about an hour and half after lunch.

This is just a bad idea on so many levels. Whatever happened to the days of one lunch for everyone or pack your own? My first grade teacher used to actually make the kids eat at least two bites of everything including the dreaded kale.

I cannot remember the word I would like to use but salad bars have a lot of waste (so do florists). I would expect it to be even higher in a school situation, esp elementary and middle schools.

What the heck in wrong with these people?????

This is a huge waste of food, time and money, just to make these moronic “jackwagons” “feel” better !

It’s pretty typical of Central Africa ~ you learn to NOT discuss it.
