USDA. Another Department and cabinet-level position that needs to be eliminated.

So kids can’t spend their own money to buy doughnuts.
Then WTH are doughnuts offered every single day for those getting “free” breakfast at our elem school???
“It’s none of the USDA’s freekin business what my kid eats at school.”
—
They’re just not going to sell it. They aren’t going to monitor what is brought from home.
It’s no big deal.
.
What will Moocher eat now when she goes to harass a school?
Well those property taxes will be going up again when they can no longer do candy sale fundraisers for the football team or use vending machine profits for student activities.
Thankfully in my sane conservative part of north Georgia, my property tax assessments have remained constant since Obama was elected.
“Will a Food Gestapo go through the lunches kids bring from home looking for contraband???”
You can bank on it.
Control the food, control the people, Comrade!
There is NO WAY that schools should be anything but a Local/State issue, AND, it's the Unions and their front organization (The Dept. of Education) that FORCE the Agenda, indoctrinate the youth, and force Compliance with threats of removing "Federal Funding" (there is NO FEDERAL FUNDING; it's the FORCED TAKING of Taxpayer earnings to re-distribute to the Union clowns who are draining dollars and sending them to the DNC to keep their scam going).
The USA spends more on "education" per student than nearly all civilized countries, and now produces the most ill-educated, least-skilled, history-ignorant students in the world.
I suspect that a blueberry muffin would be considered a healthy alternative to a honey-glazed doughnut — even though the muffin probably contains considerably more calories, fat, and carbs.
Some young enterprise-minded kids are gonna make a bunch selling their black market snacks!
Damn, I don’t have single cookie, in the house. I may have to make a cookie run
Don't think those Samoan kids will exist on rice cakes.
Will they be inspecting what the kids brought from home lunches. When the kids in the cafeteria get only crap how is it fair that the sack lunch kids get good food?
Good one!
And the only reason that I can see why citizens and businesses reluctantly reply, "how high?," when nonelected federal bureaucrats who have no Constitution authority to tell anybody to do anything shout, "JUMP!," what to eat in this case, is because citizens are not being taught about Congress's constitutionally limited powers.
But wait! There's more!
What's worse than Congress delegating regulatory powers to nonelected federal bureaucrats in violation of the constitutional statutes referenced above is the following. Regarding government power to regulate agriculture, the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate agriculture. In fact, the Supreme Court has already clarified this, in terms of the 10th Amendment nonetheless, as evidenced by the following excerpt.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited. None to regulate agricultural production is given, and therefore legislation by Congress for that purpose is forbidden (emphasis added)."--Mr. Justice Roberts(?), United States v. Butler, 1936.
So even if Congress could delegate federal legislative powers to third parties, in the case of the USDA the states have never delegated to Congress the specific power to regulate intrastate agriculture. So in order for Congress to regulate intrastate agriculture Congress would have to comply with its constitutional Article V requirement to petition the states to ratify an amendment to the Constitution which would grant Congress the specific power to regulate intrastate agriculture.
Are we having fun yet?
