Tea, of course. Iced tea was THE staple drink in my family, all year. The folks also allowed us to drink wine but that was only at home, of course. (Can't have lasagna without a goblet of good wine...)

Then again, no one ever checked to see what was in our lunchbox back then so I suppose I could have brought wine if I had thought it would complement the peanut butter. ; )

“Obesity is expensive. We spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year in the health system treating diseases related to obesity.”

Lenin learned early on that if you have the ability to ration a commodity your social control is limited only by the necessity of that commodity to human life. Medicine is certainly high on the list, exceeded only by food and on a par with shelter and warmth. It is no accident that collectivists seek ultimately to control the distribution of these very commodities, that control is better than chains.

Here we have no less than a demand to control both food and medicine. Where participation is voluntary these guidelines are only that, where participation is mandatory those seeking to make it so are after something quite other than diet and hygiene, they're after power. Hence Hillary-care.

There is nothing illegitimate about the claim that if society has to pay for something collectively it has a right to control its distribution. What is illegitimate is the idea that the collective is the only permissible source of such payment, and hence the only permissible means of distribution.

This is why socialism always leads to statism - it is inherently a less efficient mechanism of distribution and must therefore be mandatory or it fails. Although more efficient, the free market involves inequities of distribution, and is therefore "unfair" according to collectivists. "Fair" in this sense means equal poverty, "unfair" means unequal wealth. What is at issue here is a very great deal more than school lunches.

This type of stuff is insane. It's amazing what the globalists will do, and how local and national governments, along with "fear-based" soccer moms, will do anything to implement the foresaid's agenda.

I'd also like to say that I took a sack lunch and a lunch box to school almost every day of my elementary school days.

Thanks for the ping, I hate this kind of crap more than anything else. It makes my skin crawl and my blood boil.
