Quote of the Week

Nutrition nannies are less than jazzed about America’s cultural focus on free will. Take, for instance, the food cops at the Center for Science in the Public Interest. This week, CSPI threw a tantrum when U.S. consumers gained another food choice (a Thin Mint cookie Blizzard) of which the group disapproves. With all of this unnecessary fuss over chilled milk, it was refreshing to see this blurb in today’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution: 

People make choices. They are responsible. Not the fried chicken, gravy, fried pies or biscuits. How long will it be before some do-gooder suggests shutting down all-you-can-eat buffets?
