“Next year, students can buy only nonfat flavored milk or 1 percent white milk. Half of the grains must be “whole” next year. In 2013-14, all products must be whole grain.”

So screw the kids who have wheat or gluten intolerant digestive systems. They don’t have to eat it, but they will still be forced to buy it.

One of the SC justices main arguments against obamacare is that it would give the govt. the power to make people buy broccoli. Looks like the govt. already has that power. So that argument goes out the window.

GOP now works for Obama, I see.

Thanks Obama, now all that discarded fruit will be used as projectiles.

They better be stopped on the first Tuesday of November 2012, or there might not be another chance....

Time for all the kids to brown bag it.

Notice it passed in the House during a LAME DUCK session. Pretty awful for them to do anything then, especially considering the massive change in the House after the 2010 election.

you can't fine a child fcol they have no income

I was in the supermaket the other day and a young lady asked my help with finding some tortillas. She had a list in her hand and pointed out that she had to buy ‘whole wheat’ tortillas.

At first I thought it was just a handwritten shopping list and maybe she was picking up some things for a neighbor, but then I got a better look at the list. I was a printed list, from the gubment, that told her she couldn't buy corn tortillas or (white) flour tortillas, she had to buy whole-wheat. Milk had to be a specific kind. Bread had to be whole-wheat. This juice but not that juice. And on and on and on.

I suddenly felt sorry for her, that even a small choice - what type tortilla she bought, or even what kind of cottage cheese, had already been made for her by some bureaucrat

We managed to find a bag of whole-wheat tortillas after a minute or so of rummaging thru all the corn and white tortillas. I wished her well.

8/5/2010 Passed/agreed to in Senate: Passed Senate with an amendment by Unanimous Consent.

12/2/2010 Passed/agreed to in House: On passage Passed by recorded vote: 264 - 157 (Roll no. 603).

This was one of the last acts of a session where the Democrats had overwhelming majorities in the House and in the Senate, and the Kenyan Clown occupied the Oval Office.

It was also one of the worst acts by one of the worst sessions in history — it came during the lame duck session after the massive shellacking the Democrats took in the November 2010 election.

It's hard to believe, though, that not one Republican Senator bothered to vote against this disgusting legislation.

Many stories seem to link “Modern” wheat as a cause of today’s obesity and other medical problems. It is also hard to avoid the wheat which is added into many products.
