U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told members of the National Restaurant Association on Monday that Americans need to “adjust” their tastes so that they like the kind of food the government believes they should eat—and “we have to make sure that what we do is create the appropriate transition.”

Hahaha. This is satire, and you just forgot the tag.
Right?
Americans need to “adjust” their tastes so that they like the kind of food the government believes they should eat—and “we have to make sure that what we do is create the appropriate transition.”
You vill eat vat ve puts on your plate or you vill starve.. Verstehen sie? (That’s , “Got it , Mac!” in english)
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.
He needs to mind his own business. Now where did I put that ice cream?
Enter Monsanto and genetically engineered foods for the masses. If your not sick now you will be, you remember agenda 21, look it up on utube
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”.)
Got constitution? Obviously, not.
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.
>> I decide what to feed the livestock and pets because I own them ... so ... does the government think it owns the people?
It’s called “The Human Farm” and, yes, they own us.
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.
Wish it was; CNS News is not the Onion :(
Quit yer complaining, and eat your tree-bark and twigs.
You are so right on, you have NO idea! Thanks for being a voice of reason.
I don’t think it is their doing...we can think our o wn first fashion diva, Moochelle and her progressive cronies!
thank our own...sorry for lack of proofing.
create an appropriate transition for the Secretary in 2013 so he can get on with his life’s work.
Brownies made with black beans. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I had to eat far too many beans as a kid because it was all we had. I hate dried beans of any kind and I will not eat them because I’m 70 and no one can tell me what to eat.
Sieg Heil!
The only thing we’re going to transition is our government.
.....and this will necessarily cause the cost of food to skyrocket
This is about as anti-freedom as it gets and has NO place in our Country.
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 are already bullying food producers of all stripes.
Have you noticed the lack of taste and quality in some products.
Once companies start taking losses for products no one wants to buy anymore, Obama will blame them for poor quality.
Or Harvard, not much ideological difference either way.
Now that their footing my medical bills (with my money) I guess it’s only fair they tell me what to eat. Excuse me, I have to go jog to my compulsory calisthenics class, comrade

Sebelius, Vilsack Announce Feds’ Plan to Subsidize Fruits and Veggies at Unveiling of New Dietary Guidelines
http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/sebelius-vilsack-announce-feds-plan-subsidize-fruits-and-veggies-unveiling-new-dietary
“The guidelines, which are required by Congress and are updated, as needed, every five years, also set a 300 milligram limit of cholesterol and encourage people to eat more chicken and fish and to avoid beef, which is defined as a “solid fat.””
~~~~~~~~~
Beef is now defined as a solid fat?
Got constitution? Obviously, not.
Since they own our bodies now via ObamaCare, this is the next logical step. We need to stop messing up their actuarial tables.
Yes, I have noticed...I believe there were threads denoting changes in Campbell Soups, etc. They are using different salts? etc.
What I find very troubling is that these government “initiatives” started with helpful suggestions to children, then government mandated to schools re: vending machines and meals.
Now government has begun to nudge restaurants and change adults menus...
I see incremental steps of government control...socialism on the move!!!
Just leave my grub alone.
Death by hamburger?The starvation death of Barak Obama at the hands of the 1st lawdee?Why does he have coke with everything?
Not sure that is possible...Are grubs on the government- approved shopping list?
As my son says “Word!”
He’s going to be in trouble with the food nazis if he keeps eating junk food ;)
That would be the North Korean model. I wonder if grass and snakes will be on the regime's approved food list?
If they can mandate how many miles per gallon your car must get, or how many bullets you can put in a magazine - why would it be so odd that they can mandate how much salt (or beef or candy) you can have?
Q. Why does he have coke with everything?
A. 'Cause he can.
Hey, we got our first Food Fascist. Congratulations, Obama. Now you’ve added fascists to your collection of marxist minions. Way to go.
“You will like our food, or else”
“We know where you eat”.
“TOFU or the gulag””.
Time to “sack” this “sack of shit” Vilsack.
“It’s going to take time for people’s taste to adjust and they will adjust over time, but it will take some time,” he said. “So, we have to make sure that what we do is create the appropriate transition.
"At the end of the day, though, we've got to deal with this," said Vilsack.
Michelle Fashion Police Alert Ping!
FReepmail maggief if you want on or off this ping list
I’m still waiting for people to be fined or detained for walkig outside barefoot. Or leaning back in their chair.
They truly are our parents. Parents that we can pretend to elect!
