Jamie Oliver is a self righteous attention whore, even if he is right about school lunches. What kind of grown adult man blubbers like that on television? Where’s his pride or dignity?

The local news did a thing on healthy school lunches, and they were charging $6 apiece. I can eat healthy at home for two days on $6. That covers a pile of potatoes, beans, rice, peanut butter for sammiches, a half pound of meat, assorted apples, carrots, and the occasional orange.

In 7 cases out of 10, “healthy” means “pretentious and no more good for you.” When the busybody activists outlaw the wrong frying oils to help the poor people who eat fast food, where is the legislation requiring Ruth’s Kris or Three Forks (or wherever is your local nice steak place) to never serve more than 6 oz of meat per meal? Why does Whole Foods food cost One.Million.Dollars? Why is its parking lot full of fashionable ‘green’ Lexus SUV’s that get 20 mpg while these shoppers’ maids drive 30 mpg 1992 Corollas?

Bad as school food is, I don’t want the federal government, self righteous ‘concerned citizens’ and attention whores to solve my problems.
