When I was a young man my father-in-law used to pick up garbage from a local boy-scout camp. His picks looked forward to servings of vegetables, as the children put them directly into the garbage pail. I have fond memories of his delicious pork.

The amazing thing is that the raw onion “snacks” do not appear to be an error.

Trillions in debt and we can afford some over-paid lunatics in Washington mandating raw onions for school children?
