What the State of Texas Just Did Will Send Michelle Obama Into a Panic
What the State of Texas Just Did Will Send Michelle Obama Into a Panic Controversy
In a refreshing decision that brings back common sense and exercises states’ rights, Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller lifted a 10-year-plus state ban on deep fat fryers and soda machines on the state’s school campuses.
Miller explained to reporters:
“We’re just saying if you want (a deep fryer), go get one. We’re not going to mandate what you do.”
What Miller essentially did was pull back on government overreach by allowing local parents and teachers to once again make the decision on what’s best for their particular children. He also argued that all the mandates in place – including the ones put in place by First Lady Michelle Obama – have not helped reduce childhood obesity in Texas.
“There’s so many mandates on these schools and what they can do and cannot do. You just ask anybody – they’ll tell you it’s not working.”
It’s obvious the lesson to be learned here: Local parents know what’s best for their kids at school instead of a bureaucrat hundreds of thousands of miles away. Michelle Obama and other control freak liberals in Washington will be shocked to learn of this decision, but that’s alright.
Do you think Commissioner Miller’s decision was a good one for individual and states’ rights?

If you are fat, it is likely in your genes to be that way. But, eating properly and exercising regularly is a must. If you are a couch potato, and sit around playing video games all day, you are in big trouble. ;)
