re: #220 HappyWarrior

Hell they considered the school lunches I had growing up in Fairfax County among the best in the nation. If those were “good”, I shiver to think about what bad or even average was. I actually started bringing my own lunch. Really the stupid wingnuts are like little kids when it comes to nutrition. IF IT IS HEALTHY, IT MUST TASTE BAD.

When I was a kid, a salad was iceberg lettuce with a couple of carrot shavings and a cherry tomato. To this day I loathe iceberg lettuce (to me it is on par with Styrofoam shipping popcorn).

Back in my day I don’t think there was any health standards. There was a hot dog stand across the street from my high school and that’s where a lot of kids ate. (Chicago, after all, does have some fantastic hot dogs!)

Today, healthy food actually does taste good, if you use a spice other than salt and the occasional pepper flake.
