USDA Nanny State PING!

[Parmy]

I was told that I had to eat all on my plate because there were starving children in China. That was 68 years ago.

“USDA Tells Parents”

Tells?

Go !@#$ yourselves.

[DannyTN]

People in India will starve.

[ClearCase_guy]

I know how to save about $150B a year from all future federal budget.

Just sayin'

because “offering some foods, like dessert, in reward for finishing others, like vegetables, makes some foods seem better than others.”

And we dumb parents cannot figure out for ourselves which foods our children already prefer. Thank Mother Gaia that we have the USDA to inform us as to which foods our own children prefer in all cases.

Do these people really think anyone listens to a word they say? Or do they just keep the charade because, hey, it’s a paycheck?

So, now the USDA has NOTHING else to focus on...it’s going to tell moms across the country how to feed their kids.

My hippie in-laws let their child decide what to eat and she became malnourished.

Clean plate is great for kids when parents don’t shovel adult proportions of food onto them.

Why we need govt butting in, I just have an instinctive STFUG reaction.

Days like this, I cannot wait till the big reorg.

[kingattax]

where is the creativity this project needs ?

we need posters with moochelle sitting on a toilet with “LETS MOVE” in big letters at the top.

Three generations ago, people just did not question that a mother knew exactly how much a child should eat, in advance of the meal. How many millions of children were forced to sit for an hour or two at the dinner table “until you clean your plate”? Stupid. People put themselves and their children through so much misery, without ever giving their stupid assumptions a moment’s thought.

[CitizenUSA]

Wow! We just have way, way too many bureaucrats with far, far too much free time on their hands.

[Chode]

take all that you want, eat all that you take...

[PA Engineer]

From the same people who pushed the food pyramid and caused they type II diabetes epidemic.

[bluejean]

“They’ll feel more independent” - seriously? Gads. Yes they all need to be more independent and out of control and tyrannical. I’ve watched my niece fix her son macaroni and cheese or French toast or grilled cheese while everyone else was eating the actual dinner that was prepared, to avoid the inevitable temper tantrum over whatever the meal was.

The tyranny of the urchin. Ridiculous.
