The War on Vegetables
How quickly Americans toss aside the heroes of previous conflicts! Who today recalls that during the Reagan regime's desperate struggle against the budget, public education and childhood nutrition, lowly ketchup was pressed into service as an ersatz vegetable? Citizen! How can you look the other way while schools crack down on condiments?
CHANDLER, Ariz. -- One Arizona high school has added another item to its list of banned substances: bottled ketchup.
One student at Basha High School in Chandler was disciplined after being caught with a ketchup bottle two days in a row. And the principal said the school called the parents of several others found with the contraband.
The smuggling began after the school cafeteria limited students to three packets of ketchup per hamburger. You can get extra packets, but they cost 25 cents each.
You also can bring your own packets. But bottled ketchup is banned because the school said it would be a health code violation."
Dare we say it? When ketchup is outlawed, only outlaws will have ketchup?
