well, if it stops him from stopping at taco bell (yuck!)
or eating the corn flakes and wonder bread the dr also
suggested (also easier to process in the intestines),
then i will have to opt for the clif bars and boosts.

we're one of those oddball families who actually eat home
cooked food together at the dining room table. so i don't
mind a few exceptions like these if it helps his disease.

we've also started giving him his own weekly lunch money
instead of relying on the school cafeteria to provide him
with a decent lunch...since they obviously have no idea how
much a 17 yr old giant really eats. ;)

I like school lunch.

[moog]

My mom made us pretty good lunches, but we did like it when we could have hot lunch. Now, I eat it more often as it's better than anything I could ever whip up. :)

only Outlaws will have Crisco.

That's why Jesse James lost his touch--he had to meet the Crisco Kid.

I may be a CC - but I ain't that crunchy........

Nothing cc about you--you take care of yourself. :)

Dang, what kind of jelly is that???

I've noticed that it doesn't matter how many times these kooks get smacked down, they just keep coming back from different directions.

Apparently, they have unlimited time and resources, and the willingness to just keep going like the energizer bunny.

Eventually, they always win.

Boy! The nanny do-gooders can sure tweak those numbers, can't they?  Stupid forkers!

Diana gets it:

"In Germany, the Nazis first came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics, but I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak for me."

~Rev. Martin Niemöller. (1892-1984)

When they came for the smokers, I was a non smoker so I didn't care.

When they came for the obese, I was not obese so I didn't care.

When they came for the drinkers, I wasn't a drinker so I didn't care.

Then they came for me, and there was nobody left to care.

And he's so cheap now, moths fly out of his wallet when he opens it, ala Jack Benny, LOL!

LOL! That's a good one!

But I know what you mean.  My mom packed my lunch every day and I bought a little carton of milk for lunch.  No candy bars.  Just snack cakes for dessert.

I was thin as a rail all through school.  But of course, we played outside every day.  No computers or video games back then.  I think we were all a heck of a lot healthier back then.  The kids today lead a very sedentary life style unless they are into sports.

I just don't get it.

All the people I know IRL who support this kind of crap nod their little heads, totally, completely, mind-numbingly uncritically agree, all while they are raising their own children on a steady diet of Coke and Chocolate Covered Sugar Bombs.

All my lefty acquaintances feed their spawn this way, then send them to the Psychiatrist for Ritalin when they get out of hand, and try to ban it all for everyone else. Doesn't make any sense to me.

Thanks for the ping!

These are public schools. That gives gov't total authority over what's for sale on the grounds, imho.

I think it's great someone's decided to compete for this market space.

[newzjunkey]

In which case "the private sector" becomes a de-facto extension of the state, helping The Man shove his fascist program down our throats. Don't listen to anybody who tells you, "well, it's only for kids in schools", as this is merely the beginning of their plan to run every little detail of everybody's life.

There is no limit on the sale of other products, parents can buy whatever they like for their tykes. This is about what's available at the gov't school.

A private company has decided to market a product tailored to the requirements of that space. It's the capitalist way!

You have educational choices including public, private, parochial and home schooling.

You've been in my sister-in-law's pantry, haven't you?

thanks for the ping!

how about starting with the section where the guy was comparing the scholls with being parents.

I am going to bring this quote up on every anti smoking thread threre is. Watch 'em sqirm then. Every lurker needs to see these people for the mental-cases they are.

Don't forget, ham sandwhiches already kill. Just look at Mama Cass. If they would have banned them, she would still be here.

To think years ago people laughed at me when I said, after these nuts are done with the smokers, the will come after the "fat" people. Unless you are anorexic with these types you are fat. No one is laughing now.

No kidding! I raised three boys to adulthood. At times a "glass of milk" was actually "a GALLON of milk," LOL!
