Southern Schools: Let Us Eat Grits!

When President Obama promised to fundamentally transform America, we had no idea he was secretly plotting to ban biscuits and grits.

The 2010 Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act strictly limited calories, fat, salt, sugar and just about everything else that makes food edible – including grits.

“We could originally serve half whole grains but that changed in 2012 when we had to start serving 100 percent whole grains,” said Stephanie Dillard, the child nutrition director for Geneva County Schools in Alabama.

That meant no more grits.

“And grits are a staple in the South,” Ms. Dillard told me. “Students really want to eat their grits.”

I understand that, in the South, blacks and whites even get together to sing about grits. Always in perfect hominy.
Grits Ain't Groceries!

I’ll look for some at my stores. Thanks.

The Federal Government should have absolutely NO SAY in what schools serve for lunch.

I do NOT like this trend of leaving the tails on the shrimp, when they're cooked in a dish! Makes for awkward eating!

Only time I leave the tails on is when I'm boiling them, then I've already prepared a receptacle for the shells and tails.
