Remember the libs going berzerk when the Reagam administration declared ketchup a vegetable for school lunches? So now that the kids can get heartier items, like cheese, libs are still kvetching.

Hey Alec, what about other govt food programs, like WIC, NPE, and food stamps? You gonna tell folks what they can eat and not eat? How about losing a few pounds yourself, there, Porky...
