As I said in another comment (aproximately) : "The Drug War set the precedent - now it is open season on all Americans." For your own good of course.In the name of protecting us from ourselves, the federal government is getting more and more involved in what we eat. Some people derisively call them the “food cops” but the threat to our historic freedom of choice is very, very real.
Students returning in September in Alexandria, Va., for example, discovered much to their surprise that they could no longer purchase peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in school cafeterias. The reason, says the National Center for Public Policy Research’s Amy Ridenour, has nothing to do with fears about peanut allergies or anything reasonable. Instead the sandwiches have been banned because of concerns they will not meet new nutritional guidelines being pushed by the Obama administration.
