(Mega barf alert!) Official: School Food May Be Terror Target
Edited on Mon Jun-06-05 10:12 PM by Lori Price CLG
Official: School Food May Be Terror Target :puke:

The government has been looking at the possibility of terrorists targeting food destined for school cafeterias, a federal food safety official said Monday.

"The school lunch program is particularly vulnerable," said Carol Maczka, an administrator within the Agriculture Department's Food Safety Inspection Service.

Maczka, speaking to the annual conference of the Association of Food and Drug Officials, offered no evidence of specific threats to school lunches.

She said her office has studied the vulnerability of three products: milk, spaghetti sauce and egg substitutes. Currently, officials are looking at how a popular lunchroom staple, chicken nuggets, may be susceptible to tampering.

OMG!! LOL, the agribusiness-engendered, GMO-laden sh*t they serve *is* the terrorism!!

11. Probably
Most idiocy comes from outside consultants who are well paid to produce the idiocy.

Is Bush planning on poisoning some children to draw attention away from the Downing Street Memo?

13. The terrorists are winning
They have infiltrated our school lunch programs with junk food and sugar drinks. Our kids are fat and have high cholesterol.

What a devious plot by those evildoers.

20. This is like Extreme Clue.
Let's see, the swarthy guy's gonna kill....children....in the cafeteria...with...milk, spaghetti sauce and egg substitues.

That's the cool thing about Extreme Clue. It's like clue, only you choose the victims, and if Col. Mustard's gun and Mr. Simpson's knife get too routine, you can pick any weapon you can find in the dictionary.

Here's my terror alert....

Watch out for the swarthy guy's going after....toddlers...at the pond....with DIRTY BOMBS THAT LOOK LIKE DECOY MALLARDS!

See, now I can work at homeland security, too. I'll tell America all about things that go bump in the night.

21. I have two daughters, 19 and 16...
...and I think that in all their time in school and camp programs, they have bought school lunch maybe five times between them! They hate it. Now that the older one is in college, however, she's had to make some adjustments.

23. I wish I could find the link again
But I read a story a while back about how the quality standards for meat in the school lunch program is actually very similar to pet food. This was a credible source too, even if not mainstream. It sounds so much like how kids joke about school lunches that it's hard to take seriously and that's why I wish I could find the link again!

I have one child in school (first grade) right now and there's no way he gets school lunch. I know we're privileged that he has a choice. He had to get school lunch one day when he left his lunch box at home and he was so unimpressed that even though he still regularly forgets his mittens or his homework, he never forgets his lunch!

28. The Dead Milkmen are just insane
They mention burrow owls in more than one song, but the one that came to mind is "Stuart" -
http://www.deadmilkmen.com/lyrics/stuart.html

The lyrics referencing burrow owls are:
Anyway, for his tenth birthday, all he wanted was a Burrow Owl.
Kept bugging his old man. "Dad, get me a burrow owl. I'll never
ask for anything else as long as I live." So the guy
breaks down and buys him a burrow owl.
Anyway, 10:30, the other night, I go out in my yard, and there's
the Wurster kid, looking up in the tree. I say, "What are
you looking for?" He says "I'm looking for my burrow owl."
I say, "Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick. Everybody knows
the burrow owl lives. In a hole. In the ground. Why the hell do you
think they call it a burrow owl, anyway?"

30. It would actually be pretty easy to contaminate the food supply.
Haven't you ever watched a Food Network program on how many foods are made? Open kettles, employees emptying one batch of food into another - it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to make a whole bunch of people very very sick.

You're either with us or against us.

We wouldn't want the poorest and most misfortunate kids to get sick!
