Sounds like we need to create an appropriate transition for the Secretary in 2013 so he can get on with his life’s work.

Tom Ball-sack can shove it. We are going to fire him, Hussein, and the whole damn lot of them in about 400 days.

Capitalism will live on.

Yes, we all need to adjust our tastes to grass and tree bark so we can be in solidarity with Obama’s comrades in North Korea

Pretty much every kind of food the government has been pushing for generations has been bad for you.

My rule of thumb is to do the opposite of what some corrupt bureaucrat suggests.

Huh. The governor of Iowa becomes the Sec of Agriculture. Interesting. I’d love to see who his funds come from.

This is kind of weird. I decide what to feed the livestock and pets because I own them ... so ... does the government think it owns the people?

They're not worried about your ice cream. They are trying to "save the planet" and eventually will seek to ban read meat.

[sarc] Didn't you know that the cattle industry is a big contributor to globull warming? These cows also eat a lot of corn that could otherwise be diverted into ethanol production. Then all that ranch land in Texas could then be used for re-education camps. [/sarc]

How about this?

I eat what I want, and I’ll deposit the used food on the USDA a**hole...er...secretary.

Sooner or later, this’ll come to a head...and I want to be the one with my hand on the handle of the guillotine. (Or perhaps I should say “headless”.)

From each according to his ability. To each according to his need.

And our masters get to determine what we need.

Load your mags, Patriots. When they’re emboldened enough to tell us what we need to eat, its almost Go Time! I really hoped that I’d never see this day.

I had to run a search on this. Sure enough. This guy is crazy. He talks about school children eating black bean brownies. roflol If you’ve read The Help or seen the movie, you would appreciate someone serving up some Terrible Awful.

It’s called “The Human Farm” and, yes, they own us.

This coming from a Dept that has more employees than there are farmers . . . another fat, bloated pile of bureaucrats who have nothing else to do but interfere with Americans' lives.

This agency along with Dept of Ed and EPA, if not eliminated entirely, should be given an annual budget of $1 and not a dime more.
