White House Announces ‘Greener’ Eggs, Packaging for Annual Easter Egg Roll Monday, March 28, 2011 By Penny Starr

(CNSNews.com) – The White House announced Monday that this year’s Easter Egg Roll will be “more environmentally friendly,” including eggs made with wood certified by an environmental activist organization and packaging “to minimize waste and environmental impact.”

The press release issued by the White House states that the eggs will be produced in the United States from hardwood “certified” by the Forest Stewardship Council, a non-profit organization with a presence in 50 countries and a mission “to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.”

The “greener” packaging for the eggs – available in purple, pink, green and yellow – is made from paperboard certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. The paperboard “uses no wood fibers from controversial sources” and the printed carton the egg comes in can be recycled. The packaging is also decorated with vegetable oil-based inks and water-based coatings.

According to its Web site, the Sustainable Forestry Initiative dates back to 1994 “as one of the U.S. forest sector’s contributions to the vision of sustainable development established by the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development.”

That’s funny!

I will not eat them ‘cause they’re green
I will not eat them with your queen
I will not eat the green eggs, no ham
I will not eat them, Obam I am.

All we need is to bring in Jesse Jackson to read it.

So let me get this straight...the o has found chickens that will eat sawdust and lay wooden eggs. Amazing, simply amazing.

Let me get this right. You cut down a tree using a chainsaw and then truck the wood, burning fossil fuel, to a shop using electricty to turn a lathe to make “Green” eggs?

I won’t even get into the manufacturing of the fake paper packaging.

Aren’t eggs a renewable resource already?

You have to hug the tree, sing to it, induce a coma......THEN you RIP IT DOWN with a chain saw!!!

That technique sounds vaguely familiar.

But the green coloring is dangerously toxic...like the lead in the Whitehouse Garden. (A little speculation here.)

This reads like satire.

What happens when you have a mulatto errand boy and his dark chocolate Black Panther wife foisted on us by the oligarchs and Gaia worshippers. You have the mentally deranged hitched to the truely nefarious. I hope the lilly white neutered Ted's and Ed's in suburban Charlotte and Muncie got exactly what they hoped for when they voted for this turd in 2008. A president their Desperate Housewife spouses could approve of. No wonder female infidelity may surpass male this year, who would want to sleep with a guy who professed environmental sensitivity and watched Estrogen laden, vapid reali-info-tainment shows.

We scored a real trifecta with this pantload..., ignorant, evil and damaged.

There should be no Easter Egg Roll at this White Hut. The Obama’s do not believe in Easter.

I suggest they pack up the Obama’s and roll their asses out of the White Hut.

Well said and I totally agree - the guilty white liberals refuse to realize they backed a mistake, their extreme arrogance prohibits such an admission. To them obama is like a show dog or prized thoroughbred horse - pat him on the head, wheel him out there and smugly proclaim to themselves “aren’t we really great? See, we’re not racists, look!”
I’m almost glad my WWII veteran Dad isn’t here to see it - he would be heartbroken and enraged.
