Maybe the chupacabra was behind the chicken nugget story too.

Oh yeah?

What ugly, hateful, pompass, arrogant words.
Why not follow those words up with " this is my opinion of these people", because that is all that it is. I find it interesting that you can come to this "conclusion" by simply looking at this picture. How does one define them as not intelligent, uppity, self righteous, unhealthy and do-gooders by this picture?

How do you know who to blame if you don't know the whole story?
(the answer is, you don't unless you're making s**t up.)

From the Hoke County School District's website
Hoke County Schools

Quote:
The Hoke County Schools Child Nutrition Services have ninety-two employees in the following areas:
Child Nutrition Executive Director/Administrator
Child Nutrition Supervisor
]Child Nutrition Specialist
Administrative Assistant - Executive Director of Child Nutrition
Child Nutrition Office Assistant
13 Child Nutrition Manager
3 Child Nutrition Assistant Managers
12 Child Nutrition Custodians
]43 Child Nutrition Assistants full Time
8 Child Nutrition Assistants part time3 Child Nutrition Delivery Technicians
2 Child Nutrition Substitute
And each school also gets it's own team of nutrition managers! There's no mystery about who the "inspector" was. And people wonder where the money is going... certainly not to education!

We are writers. If we had it our way everyone would be living in a pod, connected to feeding tubes, and perpetually dreaming of pie. We don't have our way so we choose to mock, tease, tempt, and tantalize the robotic masses hoping that something we write might get commented on by a troll. We like trolls. Not as much as robots but we like trolls, nevertheless.
