Next Year’s Plan: All foods must be pureed before serving. Feel free to use Gerber Brand pureed and blended meals.
We loved Gerber as babies, and we need Gerber while growing up. Please bring own box of nappies in the appropriate size.
Venezuela ....here I come to the US
The same guidelines said no juice either.
Where does the federal government get this authority??
Come on, they have to keep promoting the low-fat diet, otherwise sheeple might stay healthy.
I suspect what the USDA is talking about is deep fat frying, not pan frying. Not exactly healthy and also is a significant fire hazard.
As mentioned in related threads, the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power regulate, tax and spend for any issue concerning intrastate public schools.
And even if the states had delegated such power to the feds, the Founding States had made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, to clarify that all federal legislative powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in non-elected federal bureaucrats like those running the Dept. of Agriculture.
And by unconstitutionally delegating federal legislative / regulatory powers to federal agencies like the Dept. of Agriculture, corrupt Congress is wrongly protecting powers that it doesn’t even have from the wrath of the voters in blatant defiance of Sections 1-3 mentioned above.
What a mess! 8^P
I say every place should offer either the White House menu or the Sidwell Friends menu, every day.
Then let them try to bitch about what kids are eating.
What Constitutional authority grants them the right to even address this?
We gave it to them. By our inaction, they take and take and take. Until we say, "STOP!" they'll keep at it.
A fraudulent interpretation of the Commerce Clause.
"We can only be a strong and secure nation, if we are, as a people, fit and healthy.
The foods, and indeed most of everything else, in these facilities are a product of interstate commerce, and therefore fall under Department purview."
Holder and crew can 'pretty it up' and pad it out to a hundred or so pages of gobbledegook legalese and political double talk, but that is the essence of what their reply would boil down to.
I figure a good research project would be to compare nutrition under the Obama Administration’s guidelines to prison nutrition in the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
> Where does the federal government get this authority??
BHO and The People who don’t stop him...they are pushing the limits in just about every facet of life now. The plan is to control every facet of the sheeple’s life.
Nope. Read the article.
“Where does the federal government get this authority??”
It was such that if an institution didn’t follow rules set forth, the funding would be withheld. Carrot or Stick.
The wording in the article suggests that merely being an institution eligible for funding now requires compliance. Mission creep?
SOS...maybe more S
Dogooders on the boards most often opt for free money...and comply. The template is cut....and dependence grows. More stick than carrot as time passes.
French fries are about the only thing little kids will eat sometimes...
Some kids I know would literally starve than to eat anything other than chicken nugetts, cereal and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Seriously. My grandson, now 6 is getting better, but until the last few months had a very limited appetite, matter of fact if I offered him mac and cheese in the wrong “shape” he’d refuse to eat it. He didn’t like the little dinosaur or spiral shapes, it had to be plain elbow macaroni lol.
Government has no business telling anyone how they need to prepare food for their own children or those they’re in care of. And limiting juices, really?! Listen, it’s bad to give kids a lot of sugary drinks but many a child has lived through just that and they grow up fine. It’s one thing to educate parents, public service announcements, it’s entirely another to make regulations (laws) about it. Complete dictatorship.
