“Greek Yogurt”
Great way to distribute a live pathogen. If you see the
kids in New York, Arizona, Idaho, and Tennessee acting
weird you know the government is experimenting again.
My son recently attended a two week Agriculture camp at a public university on the east coast, all sponsored by the USDA. We paid nothing. It was a nice camp and good learning experience. All funded by the USDA.
I asked one of the Ag department professors at this university where most of their graduates end up going to work. Archer Daniels? Monsanto? Some winery? Nope. Some get jobs in private food and agriculture industry, but most are employed by the USDA or other government agencies.
Why on earth do we need a federal department of agriculture?
Chobani. Big employer in Chenango County, NY.
This should also be a boon to the garbage can sellers and the garbage collecters because there will be a lot more food thrown away.
My toddler, preschooler, and I love plain Greek yogurt and I’d boycott Chobani, but I don’t buy that brand anyway. As a public school teacher, I can tell you that these kids will not eat Greek yogurt. In our urban setting the students’ pallets, thanks to thier moms/grandmas/Big Gov, have been refined to Doritos and hot dogs. They won’t touch any drink unless it is HFCS sweetened and neon colored. Millions of dollars worth of tax-payer purchased yogurt will be trashed this school year. In addition to that, to get the full benefits of yogurt it needs to contain fat. I bet my next paycheck the schools will have to serve to fat-free variety. For the few students that do eat the yogurt, they will receive minimum health benefits. But hey, the government solution always provides the opposite of its intent!
The school lunch program has always been about kickbacks and payoffs.
Was the same back when I was in school. Vendors who were providing our lunches all had names like Pauly Walnuts and Louie the Schnozz.
USDA�s total outlays for 2014 are estimated at $146 billion. Roughly 83 percent of outlays, about $121 billion in 2014, are associated with mandatory programs that provide services as required by law. The majority of these outlays include crop insurance, nutrition assistance programs, farm commodity and trade programs and a number of conservation programs. The remaining 17 percent of outlays, estimated at about $25 billion in 2014, are associated with discretionary programs such as WIC; food safety; rural development loans and grants; research and education; soil and water conservation technical assistance; animal and plant health; management of national forests, wildland fire, and other Forest Service activities; and domestic and international marketing assistance.
If it can get to grocery stores in North Dakota before the "use by" date, I reckon it can get to other venues as well.
There's lots of protein in fried chicken, too... or a cheeseburger.
