The federal government wants moms and dads to start serving meals at home that conform to the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.

The USDA urged parents to help reinforce the new school guidelines by providing similar meals at dinner time.

“We know that many parents are already making changes at home to help the whole family eat healthier,” the USDA wrote on their official blog. “We recommend reviewing school menus with kids at home and working to incorporate foods that are being served at school into family meals as much as possible

Uh oh. So what’s next? Michelle’s food nazi gestapo agents going house to house and inspecting what parents are feeding their kids. I wouldn’t doubt it one bit. This is who and what these people are, after all.

How about the bloated bureacracy go on a diet instead?

How about Barry and Michelle police what their family eats, and my wife and I will do police our family eats. It’s freedom.

Let’s start by limiting items valid for EBT use to grains, vegetables, and fruit.

They could always do what they did with light bulbs, etc.: ban the state unapproved items.

There would be a black market in Fritos.

Gee,in the 50's my parents didn't need advice from the government to do that.Beef,chicken,pork,lamb...fish on Fridays (Catholic),served with spinach,green beans,corn,carrots...plenty of milk,eggs for breakfast.

Were my parents so much smarter than some of those today? Or are "the most vulnerable among us" just lazy,stupid fools that look to DC for everything from food to cell phones?

Add protein and milk to that and you've got a perfect list.No chips,no lobster,no beer,no lottery tickets,no crack.After about 5 years of such a policy we'll no longer have the fattest "poor" people on earth.

Here’s where they could start, and get no argument from me: Limit food stamp purchases to those items that are acceptable for the “healthy lunch” program menus.

now, when you have no job, because you live in the obamanation, while you are looking for food in the trash dumpsters behind restaurants and grocery stores, be very selective on what you pick up to feed your starving children.

big brother will hold you accountable. mooseshell will have a fit.

blessings, bobo

This directive from the USDA is meant to be sent to those people who receive food stamps. Most of them spend lavishly on potato chips, candy and sugary drinks. Instead of making healthy nutritious meals for their children, they feed them nothing but junk food. These are Obamas people who need to be taught how to dress, eat and speak.

Don't think they can't do it already.

Many newer televisions have built-in wifi. With the availability of wifi being so prolific and suspicions of back-doors being built into chipsets on most newer routers and modems, it should come as no surprise that they could monitor everything you do.

Think that camera attached your home desktop or on your phone is really turned off when you're not using it? How about the microphones in everything from your phone to your laptop to your Roomba? We've accepted technology with every fiber of our being, and as such, we've accepted the risks of being monitored by that technology that we THINK we control.

I’m trying to comply. Just this morning I had some thick backstrap fried rare in bacon grease and three eggs and toast.

Mine is. I have a plastic cover that goes over the lens when I'm not using it.
