With all the crap going on in this country, and a new war, but someone in the 0bama admin, or immediate family, does not like the potato, and it needs to be eliminated in our life time. Our very live may depend upon it!!!!
We have liberal busy bodies who want, to use the outsized power of federal government, to force their own personal decisions onto the entire nation
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is proposing to eliminate the "white potato"—defined as any variety but the sweet potato—from federally subsidized school breakfasts and to limit them sharply at lunch.
At a March Senate hearing on the USDA budget, Sen. Susan Collins (R., Maine) hoisted a standard-fare brown-skinned spud in one hand and, in the other, a head of iceberg lettuce, which hasn't come under explicit federal scrutiny. One medium white potato contains nearly twice the vitamin C "as this entire head," she said, asking: "So my question, Mr. Secretary, is what does the department have against potatoes?"
“Kids are not eating enough vegetables and when they do eat vegetables they are eating potatoes way too often,” says Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy at the advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest, which pushed for the standards. “Too much of anything, even a good food, isn’t healthy because people need to eat a variety of foods.”

These are the same people who use government to ban, restrict and criminalize manufactured products, foods, and activities, simply because they personally don't like them.
