A Pathetic People We Are

Way back the olden days, kids were expected to pack a lunch for school.
It wasn't very hard to do: a peanut butter sammich, banana, a cookie or two... fresh milk was supplied at the school for a dime.

Can we ever go back to a less complicated time? I doubt it.
USDA to allow more meat, grains in school lunches
To 'allow'?
How did we get to this point where the federal government is telling school kids how much meat is allowed on that sandwhich, and how thick the bread can be?

Why have we allowed a bunch of worthless dip shits who cannot balance their own budget to decide for the rest of us how to balance children's lunches?

Worse still, how did we get to this point where parents are no longer deemed responsible for packing their own kid's lunches?
Parents?
Where are you???
Make the damned lunch why don't you...
It's not difficult, really it's not...
Just smear some peanut butter on bread (or frijoles on a tortilla) and stick it in a bag.
Is that so fucking hard?

This nation, it's government, and it's people are doomed.
Bring on the apocalypse, we've earned it.

I don't think you're allowed to have peanut butter near children anymore. It initiates a hazmat response.

That's true -- if you have one kid with a peanut allergy, you can pretty much rule out peanut butter for everyone else.

I got lost somewhere between how thick bread should be and the apocalypse. You didn't even make a stop at bicycle helmets, but went straight for the end of the world. I'd argue with you, but there's only 12 days left until the Mayan calendar runs out and we all go to perdition anyway. But still... hysteria barely becomes you,

only 12 days? damn... waiting period for my Glock is 15. so much for that plan. :(

They do such a lovely job of designing the food available on ships to make sure no-one is ever too fat, why shouldn't they be in every school district?

(That would be heavy sarcasm...record numbers of folks are being kicked out for being "too fat," and most of them I've seen are far from it.)

I find that rational hysteria fits you well.
