Once again
the federal food police are on their inane ruthless prowl
Forcing a
school cafeteria to as to its 40 year old “pink” cookie throw in the towel
As opposed
to the proverbial dog whose bite is less than its growl
The students
and parents of Elyria, Ohio rightfully against the feds scream foul
Childhood
obesity maybe a growing trend but federal regulatory obesity is far worse
They control
the portions; control the food because they control the education purse
Whatever
happened to a parent’s right to control their children’s snacks?
The next
nanny step will be for the feds to send children bringing in the “pink” cookie
to home back
What tiny part of our lives does the federal government
think it cannot control
As parental
rights these overreaching regulations on our kids diet stole?
This is not
about obesity it is about federal overreach
In schools too
often failing in the subjects they really need to teach
A suggestion
here to the federal food police—back off you are in the wrong!
When it
comes to parenting you absolutely are inept and you do not belong
If you want
to fight obesity end the trend of stopping games like tag
Or football
games played by students with pockets carrying flags
A 200
calorie “pink” cookie will not a child to a life of obesity condemn
But will a
parent’s rights to choose for their own children further hem
