At a Kids’ State Dinner, the Obamas tried to wave the federal food pyramid magic wand over the minds of captured kiddies. As usual, the reader comments are the best part. Sloppy Joes and Zucchini fries were the healthy order of the day. I’m sure the Secret Service Salad was great, too. Surely that splotch of ketchup has no high fructose corn syrup in it?
A funny aside is that a White House spokesperson noted that although some kids were chosen as “winners” for their recipes, he noted that “all the kids were winners.” Of course, no kid can ever lose at anything, for his or her self-esteem might collapse and forever ruin that poor child.
