Lobbyists to dictate school food

Filed under: Politics — Jaws @ 9:40 pm

Well perhaps that’s extending things a bit, but the headline of the article itself read:

USDA to oversee school snack food: Senate ag chair

Now, as one can learn from books like In Defense of Food, government nutritional “recommendations” are driven less by science than they are lobbying and politics.

What does this mean for children? Will the corn lobby push to keep foods with HFCS in the lunch rooms?

Oh, and that’s besides the whole “what role does DC really have to play in this” issue.
