Democratic convention to be no-fry zone
Democratic convention to be no-fry zone
Quote:
DENVER — Warning to Southern delegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver this August: it will be a no-fry zone.
As part of the effort to make the August 25-28 convention the greenest ever, the Democrats' guidelines for food catering include one that strikes at the heart of Southern cuisine: no fried food.
No fried chicken. No fried catfish. No fried green tomatoes. No fried okra. No fried anything.
In promoting healthy eating habits, the Democratic guidelines say every meal should be nutritious and include "at least three of the following colors: red, green, yellow, purple/blue and white."
"It's the new patriotism," says Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, the driving force behind the greening of the Democratic convention.

The first comment to the article was so good I'll reprint it in lieu of my personal comments...I agree 100%...possibly more...

I find it amazing that the people who screamed and screamed about George Bush and Company taking American's liberties and freedoms by keeping track of telephone traffic, are perfectly comfortable deciding what people should and shouldn't eat.
Unreal. - Rulo Melko
