Even more disturbing about the Healthy, Hungry-Free Kids Act is the laws ability to regulate ALL school food sales. This is how the law reads: “Removes junk food from schools by applying nutrition standards for all foods sold in schools.” This means an end to bake sales and candy bar fundraisers. There have been cries of foul from parents for impeding their kids’ ability to raise money for the big band trip or basketball tournament, but the law is more insidious than that. The government is usurping even more of the parental role. The message to kids is that your parents don’t know what’s best for you; they can’t even feed you properly.
These kinds of subversive laws are like a wedge in the family dynamic. Parents are no longer relied upon for education, care and now sustenance. Who needs them, right? Is the role of parents simply to breed children and then bunk them overnight like some Disney version of the Hotel California? The government is grooming a permanent slave class of useful idiots. The addictive drug being pushed is not crack or even sugar, but dependency.
Henry Kissinger was right when he said ”Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people.” This new law is guaranteed to stretch beyond its seemingly harmless and well intentioned limitations. When you couple it with the Food Safety Bill that was passed during the current Lame Duck session, you’re talking real power. Let this idea sink in for a moment: the government has seized control of what we eat through regulation.
The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 gives new meaning to the term “food poisoning.” As for me and my children, Michelle can have our Twinkies, when she pries them from our cold, dead hands.
