Starting this month,
the United States Department of Agriculture has announced that it
will test out a new product in school lunches—high-protein, a.k.a.
Greek-style yogurt—in four different states. Yet, what seems
like an innocuous, even reasonable addition to the menu of foods
offered to American public school students upon inspection turns
out to be the latest example of corrupt nanny-statism masquerading
as “for the kids” do-goodism.
The USDA argues that Greek-style yogurt is better for kids because it has more protein. And given Michelle Obama’s new National School Lunch program offerings required by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, a higher protein, lower-fat, and lower-sugar yogurt seems like it would be a good thing, full stop.
Here’s the trouble.
