No Fat For You!

Metro via Instapundit:

When a small church comes to the Bowery Mission bearing fried chicken with trans fat, unwittingly breaking the law, they’re told “thank you.” Then workers quietly chuck the food, mission director Tom Bastile said.

“It’s always hard for us to do,” Basile said. “We know we have to do it.”

Reminds me of a grand policy started during the Great Depression: pay farmers to not grow food. You know, so that they can keep food price stable and high and keep on voting Democrat.

We appear to be headed into the very same sort of lunacy as we speak. Consider Obama Administration proposals to eschew further domestic oil exploration and simply tax the daylights out of all energy consumption -- to encourage conservation!

When people start dying of cold exposure because they can't afford to heat their homes, do you think the Obamunists will accept any part of the odium?

You have a great blog here. I'm a first-time visitor but I like what I'm seeing. I have a blog myself where people from all around the world come and debate on popular issues. I think you would provide some valuable insight to us all. Also, I was wondering if we could do a link exchange. If you would like to, please leave a comment under my "Compadres" page saying when you have my link up and I'll return the favor.

Please let me know.
