Just peachy.

It’s always someone else’s fault.

I kind of have to agree that junk food should be taken out of public schools. When I was in school, I always use to think it was a bit of a mixed message for me to have to take Health and P.E. which promoted eating right and exercise, but then had junk food vending machines all over the school.

YAWN!! Governors get involved in education all the time. Specially in poor states where most of the funding comes from the state. Also, I guy who lost 100 pounds may have the moral authority to speak on health...

I like Mike but he needs to let kids be KIDS!

I grew up with some junk food - the dreaded cup cakes and candy and I’m not a diabetic! It was with MODERATION. Junk food was not my sole DIET.

I think the football team is going to rebel over the spinach souffle and tofu salad. I can see the cafeteria food fight now!

The GOVERNMENT has no business in your diet.

It is the responsibility of the PARENTS!

I don’t see a problem with this. In fact, I agree. That’s the way it was done when I was in school and I’ve never understood putting junk-food vending machines into schools. But there is a line here. I still think that kids and parents can bring in anything that they want to bring in for the kids to eat. As long as this prohibition is only against which vending machines are allowed in the schools, then yes, I think he’s correct. And lunches that are purchased at the school should be healthy as well.

Thanks for the post. The MSM is pimping the Huckster to take down Fred and elect Giuliani. Nevermind the fact that the guy barely raised $1 million in the 3Q despite the free publicity he earned from the Iowa Straw Poll.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies; The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
-- C.S. Lewis, In Freedom

Tell me about it. I CRINGE when I read the support Huckabee gets on this very website - he is by far the biggest nanny-stater running from either party. It reminds me of how small children talk about what they would do to make society perfect - nobody would be allowed to be fat, nobody would say bad words, etc. He's got the smooth folksy delivery down, uses the right language, and harbors the right sincere political leanings on an important selection of conservative issues (pro-life, etc); just the right combination to deliver unto liberty a fatal dose of poison.

I'd almost prefer Giuliani...and the more I learn about Huckabee, the more I lean against eliminating that qualifier.

Wonder where he is hiding David these days?
