I hate Mayor Mike....

So the adults responsible for teaching kids get a discount, but that's scamming the kids? Really? I guess military discounts and such scam everyday people to huh?

You keep saying that. Do you know how alcohol is formed?

Unless he's drinking very late harvests, he isn't getting that much sugar.....

Hahaha. A 6 oz. glass of coke only has 54 times as much sugar as a 6 oz. glass of wine.

Boy, see what a monkey wrench a little bit of googling can throw into an argument?

I decided to look it up.  One 6 ounce serving of red table wine:  One 12 ounce can of Coke Classic:

Decimal points are for communists! They have the same sugar.

The thing about food at school is generally you don't need to change what is served. Portion sizes might be a different story, but a normal, growing person who is active in after school sports can easily burn off the calories from even the most "unhealthy" meal.

Given no silly additives and a more or less decent salt level "nice" unhealthy foods can be served.

Basically burn the same number of calories you are taking in and it isn't a problem.

I don't see why an entire school should be forced to eat bad food because of some lazy kids/parents. I also don't agree with the concept of a few defining the rules for the many. Especially in school make the fatty kids realize they are being picked on by singling them out for "special diets" and most of them will change their attitudes due to peer pressure. Telling them it is ok to be fat and trying to control the what, one possibly two meals they eat in a day isn't going make them change.

There is probably a reason I'm not a child psychologist.

It ain't pretty to have an unsecured animal that can weigh as much as a kid slam around the inside of a vehicle when you come to an immediate stop. Also, who drives around with a cat in their car that ISN'T in a box, tied down, and probably on tranq's? KBK

not to get too far off topic but what kind of critters does one have to avoid while driving in South Africa other lions,cape buffalo,elephants and angry Zulus?

You laugh? Goats and cows are legitimate driving concerns on the N2 highway near the airport here.

That being said there are still plenty of wild Kudu, Impala and even some Springbok around. Not here mind you, there are probably small duiker around here. In the mountain passes it's Chacma Baboons you have to worry about.

I gotto do cleanup on a Flying Squad K9's intercept car tha had ended a high speed chase in an accident. The screen separating the K9 from the humans was imprinted with the outline of a German Shepard. It was rather grisly.

Not laughing just curious. Well,atleast up to the angry zulu part...
