The Fantasic Meal

Yesterday, Arnold honored McDonald's for its role in fighting Childhood obesity. The beefy guru of physical fitness made the guru of special sauce a "member of the Summit on Health, Nutrition and Obesity Honor Roll," according to the company. If Arnold thinks Big Macs are the way to fight obesity, then voters are certainly right to second guess his judgment. It's very likely our McGovernor was moved by other motives. Say, for example, the Restaurant Association fundraiser recently held for him in LA. We will be on the watch for more Super-Sized contributions in the weeks to come. But already this week, the fiscal fitness of Arnold's campaign chest has compromised his stand for physical fitness.

Consider Arnold's signature on SB 281 by Sen. Abel Maldonado, which seeks to put more fruit and vegetables into school food programs. ArnoldWatchers tell us that the bill had required "fresh food" in schools until the Gov forced a September 7th amendment to replace the word "fresh" with "nutritious." On that same day Arnold reported $150K from food processing giant San Tomo. Could it be that about a million bucks from food processors Dole, Nestle, San Tomo and their affiliates is Arnold's reason for serving canned peaches rather than California grown fresh fruit?

1. He is such a fascist pig

His poll numbers are falling and with lots of publicity about this too, I am sure that it will help them fall even farther. Thanks for the post realFedup. Here's my next letter to the editor.

6. we have a dearth of political talent on the democratic

8. Arnold's "special election" is taking focus away from next year's

election. One of the reasons for this expensive stupidity.

3. I don't know if there is a more hypocritical politician around than..

Arnold Schwarzenegger. How has McDonald's had a role in fighting childhood obesity? He will whore himself for money from anyone. Can you imagine changing the word "fresh" to "nutritious" with an amendment on SB 281 just to get big money from food processors. This guy is supposed to be a health fitness expert that people look up to but all he ever was is a phony who used steroids to get his revolting Mr. America physique. He is another politician to add to the list of those we wish would just go away.

7. Isn't Ahhnold Fresh?

"ArnoldWatchers tell us that the bill had required "fresh food" in schools until the Gov forced a September 7th amendment to replace the word "fresh" with "nutritious."
The next time Ahhnold gropes a woman's breasts he only hopes she'll say "NUTRITIOUS!!!" as she slaps him across his face.
