How about a tasty prune burger?

Perhaps it was the non-prune 'movement' that kept us from getting fat.

Bump!

More and more parents are seeing the light and getting the hell out.

Wow. 22 replies and no one has commented on the experimenting on kids without their knowledge.

Damn Cafeteria Workers and their blasted experimentations on young children!!!!

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

Mmm... prune burgers.

Give you that great get-up-and-go feeling.

Okay. Damn these people! What are they doing trying to feed kids fruit and vegetables rather then Twinkies and soda! It is a conspiracy by the Build-a-Burgers I tell ya!

Is that enough of a rant?

Mmmmm... a yummy McBM.

However, they're not recommended for men with families.

I just know I am going to regret asking... But why?

[mhking]

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

Fruit in ground meat is not a new idea at all. This is an ancient American Indian practice to make traveling food for the warriors (as an addition to the more common and spartan traveling food of parched corn of later, less healthy cultures) as well as to preserve foods for the village later on.

It's called pemmican, and any berry in season- blueberries, service berries, blackberries, etc, is used with any critter that could be caught... most often deer or bison. the indian version uses pulverised dried meat, some rendered fat, and dried fruit, formed into cakes.

If you aren't packing your kids' lunch or making them do it, you are consenting by default.

Acids in the fruit, of course, act as tenderizing agents...

Beats the usual additive in school beef, soy beans- which don't enhance the flavor and certainly do nasty things to texture.

In addition to Piasa's details, fruit goes into many Middle Eastern meat stews, to add flavour. Lamb with prunes is a traditional Morrocan dish, and Iranians add apricots and sometimes berries to many meat dishes.

Not that this has anything to do with this foolish proposal. It is not their meat patties (with or without a seasoning of fruit) that makes the kids fat. It is the chocolates and sweets they eat all the time between meals, and (as other posters say) the lack of exercise.

LOL

Thanks for the info.

But as you noted it's the sickening concern for the children when they've just about (well maybe they've maxed out the list) screwed up everything possible they could "for" the children.
