According to ABC radio news, President Obama has decided not to take action on amnesty for illegal aliens (“immigration reform” in Left euphemism) until after the 2014 election. Of course, the reason he decided to wait was because some Democrat Senators up for reelection this year are scared silly that they will lose the election if MORE amnesty is implemented before the election. They think the American voter is TOO STUPID to realize there is no difference whether an illegal act is implemented before or after an election. It is still an illegal act that will do great harm to America!

“Vermont bans brownies, turns kids on to kale, gluten-free paleo lemon bars
By Bruce Parker / September 12, 2014
Vermont Watchdog
It’s a best-seller at bake sales, a king of American confections, even a mandatory munchie of marijuana users. But the iconic chocolate brownie, that perfect blend of cake and cookie, is banned in Vermont schools (Seriously! Control freaks! Do you know what Vermont’s motto is? “Freedom and Unity!” Now, it should be changed to “Control and Conformity!”—my addition).
In its place are new hoped-for kid favorites like fruit shish kebab, kale and even gluten-free paleo lemon bars (Dream on! Only if they have never been exposed to brownies and such!—my addition).
The switch stems from nutrition mandates required under the new Smart-Snacks-in-Schools program in effect for public schools (Have your children take sack lunches! Or, are they outlawed too? Very good question! Do you think Barack Hussein Obama’s children, who attend a very expensive private school, eat such lunches?—my addition).
‘The new school lunch pattern has low-fat, leaner proteins, greater variety and larger portions of fruits and vegetables; the grains have to be 100 percent whole-grain rich,’ Laurie Colgan (Remember this name!—my addition), child nutrition program director at the Agency of Education, told Vermont Watchdog.
The new rules, which evolved out of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (A federal program for which there is no constitutional authority!—my addition), spell death to brownies, cupcakes, cookies and other bake sale goodies used to raise money for extracurriculars at money-strapped schools.
Deborah Quackenbush, education division director at the Agency of Education, said Smart Snack standards apply to a la carte lunch items, vending machines and fundraising events between midnight and half an hour after school (Control at the federal level on a State activity—education!—my addition).
The standard does not apply to off-campus events or to concessions for sporting events, plays and concerts (Why is that? It is OK to eat “unhealthy” at such events?—my addition). Moms who send brownies or cupcakes to celebrate a child’s birthday in the new dessert-averse environment will be permitted to do so (All these exemptions? Are they sure they are “unhealthy?” Or, only “unhealthy” under certain circumstances and not others?—my addition).
“These changes are really supporting the types of diets that we as a country should (Should? As decided by whom? The same regulators who gave us Obamacare?—my addition) be following to have a healthy diet and lifestyle,’ Colgan said.
While the rules favor death to chocolate instead of death by chocolate, Colgan said the guidelines do not necessarily spell death for school fundraisers.
‘If you have a food fundraiser and the foods meet the guidelines, then you can have that fundraiser. … Schools have fundraisers that are selling things like grapefruits and oranges from Florida. They’re selling flower bulbs, cards and wrapping paper. There are a lot of non-food fundraisers schools are using.’
To address the fundraising dilemma created by new mandates, some nutrition sites suggest fundraisers that offer gluten-free, vegan and paleo diet options such as sugar-free paleo lemon bars (Right! Rush right up!—my addition).
Shelley Mathias, principal of Edmunds Elementary School in Burlington, said she welcomed the federal Smart Snack standards, but she added her school was ‘ahead of the game’ in banning dessert for kids.
‘We haven’t had desserts in our schools. This is my fourth year, and I’ve never seen a dessert served in the school. The kids like kale here, and they eat broccoli. Really, we’ve been ahead of the game,’ Mathias said.
‘We have an excellent farm-to-school program, and kids get free snacks that consist of fruits and vegetables, possibly cheese and some fiber (I’ve known delusional principals! Can’t believe everything they say! —my addition) .’
Unlike Agency of Education rules that permit sweets in classroom birthday celebrations, Edmunds offers no compromise with what Mathias called ‘old commodity foods that were not exactly the most healthy things in the world.’
‘If you look in our handbook, we’re asking people to send in healthy snacks if there is a birthday or something like that. We have some great alternatives, like fruit shish kebab.’
But some states are beginning to revolt against the federal nutrition standards. In Massachusetts, an uprising over lost bake sale revenue led the state to repeal the standards for fundraisers. (In blue Massachusetts?—my addition) Two New York school districts abandoned the national school lunch program altogether after participation dropped precipitously (In blue New York?—my addition). Other states are struggling with a ‘plate waste’ epidemic estimated to cost more than $1 billion. (Why would that happen?—my addition)
U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics indicate student school lunch participation is down nationwide in conjunction with the nutrition standards of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (Why? Oh, why?—my addition). More than 1 million students have chosen to opt out of eating school lunches. In Vermont, the number of students participating in school lunches over the past year has dropped from 54,209 to 51,537.
While kids may be voting with their taste buds, adults are up in arms because booster clubs rely on dessert-driven fundraisers to support extracurricular activities.
Like other states, Vermont had the opportunity to exempt fundraisers from nutrition mandates. But Colgan nixed the exemption after consulting with executive directors of multiple school associations. She said fundraising groups must comply with the new school nutrition environment.
‘If the school food-service program needs to be serving all these healthy foods, then the whole school environment should be supporting that notion through their school nutrition policies and with fundraising and all foods sold in schools (Right!—my addition),’ Colgan said.
She said brownies might still be acceptable under the new government standards—but only if flour is whole grain rich, fat is less than 35 percent of weight and portions are 200 calories or fewer (Are they going to test each batch?—my addition).
Colgan, Vermont’s nutrition expert and a trustee for Jaquith Public Library in Marshfield, Vermont, is helping plan the library’s Harvest Festival for October. Organizers said festival bake sale items will include brownies, whoopee pies and cookies to help raise money for the library (What? Hypocritical?—my addition).
The nanny State of the Obama federal government! Welcome! Sit down! Shut up!

“Google Laurie Colgan. She’s not in the best of shape. She really has no right to dictate how anyone else eats when she has weight problems herself.”
I did a quick search for her and could not find a picture. However, they may have been taken down! That would not surprise me!
IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT!
If not now, when?
If not now, why?

IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT!
Impeachment IS the answer!
Galatians 6: 7-9 (NIV)
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER! In the end, VICTORY belongs to GOD and HIS people! HIS people are, by definition, CHRISTIANS! Followers of JESUS, the CHRIST!
Impeach Barack Hussein Obama!
Impeach Barack Hussein Obama!
Impeach Barack Hussein Obama!
