Can this spread be stopped? Lawmaker wants schools to put a lid on Fluff
The Boston Globe ^ | 06/19/2006 | Philip McKenna

The escalating war on junk food in schools has targeted a new enemy -- that gooey, sugary, and often irresistible sandwich spread known to children everywhere as Fluff.

Outraged that his son was served peanut butter and Marshmallow Fluff sandwiches at a Cambridge elementary school, state Senator Jarrett T. Barrios , a Democrat, said he will offer an amendment to a junk-food bill this week that would severely limit the serving of marshmallow spreads in school lunch programs statewide.

``A Fluff sandwich as the main course of a nutritious lunch just doesn't fly in 2006," Barrios said. ``It seems a little silly to have an amendment on Fluff, but it's called for by the silliness of schools offering this as a healthy alternative in the first place."

"Jarrett T. Barrios, is the openly gay democrat".

Well then, you'd think he'd just LOVE "fluff".

Aren't those people in porno movies who get the male stars
"ready" for their next scene called "fluffers".

Besides I thought all gay "guys" love fluff and chintz, etc.

It's so nice he's so concerned about "the children's" health.

I love Fluffernutters

Sound like something I once did off the high dive..!!

I have never seen this in my neck of the woods. Round here, we see Peanut Butter and Honey mixed into a spread. I think this spread may have Amish roots.

I'm surprised they didn't attack the peanut butter component of a FluffernutterTM.

Think generically, marshmallow creme. Plus peanut butter on bread that is a fluffernutter. Sounds better than marshmallowcremenutter.

Then Jarrett should get his openly gay ass up and make a nutricious lunch for Junior before he heads off for school. Then he can jump back in the sack with Uncle Fraunk.

He wants them to replace "fluff" with fudge.

Well, you need to go buy some and have a peanut butter and marshmallow (fluffernutter) sandwich. You haven't lived until you've done so.

And a gay Mass. legislature from Cambridge complaining about Fluff. The jokes just don't set themselves up any better than this.

Exactly. I thought peanuts were banned from schools these days.
