The Stereotypes Of School Lunches Could Be True - And Joe Lieberman Gets Served On C-Span

Anyone in America who has attended public school sooner or later encounters the dreaded school lunch; it may not be found until junior high, or it may be found on the first day of school. Either way, at some point, every public school student will get to enjoy the experience of finding what looks like industrial waste on their plate - right next to their milk and side dish.

According to a story by Greg Plotkin at Change.org, "meat served at many fast-food restaurants in the U.S. is actually of higher quality and requires more stringent safety standards than the meat that is sold by the United States Department of Agriculture to many U.S. schools."
Apparently the USDA cut costs by buying up really, really, crappy meat and bypassing safety standards that were in place.
All in all, it sounds as if we haven't come too far from the nauseating scenarios meticulously described in Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle".

I'd like to thank the USDA for screwing with the food served at the schools I attended. It's no small wonder why the food was tasteless - the USDA had none either.


HEY JOE! SHUT UP!
 FYI: When McCain says what sounds like "comedy" he is actually saying "comity," which, according to Dictionary.com, means "mutual courtesy; civility"—but it also creates an awesome pun.
