When it comes to the curly fries, it's not the fats and oils that lead to serious health problems ~ no sirree bob ~ it's the potatoes themselves.
All that excess starch in the diet makes the kids fat, surly and unemployable, if not diabetic, at an early age.
Banning Crystal Lite demonstrates how thorough the ignorance down there is ~ they probably think it's junk food, and have only the vaguest notion of what "low carbohydrate content" really means.

Nope, their still stuck in the *fat and sugar are evil* 'mode.
They won't even LOOK at the carbs OR the fact the healthiest' meal in the world won't do you any good if it tastes like $hit and the kids won't EAT it.
It's plain ridiculous, the amount of waste....you'd THINK they'd get a clue when their numbers keep dropping.
