Apparently, the New York City Department of Education is now running snack food taste tests in an effort to lure kids away from cookies. Says one tyke:
"Raymond Crowell, 11, who snacks on Doritos most days after school and before chess practice, says cookies are "too starchy" and prefers a mocha smoothie (WSJ 6/16)."
There are so many things wrong with this that I don't even know where to begin.
1) Suggestion to NYC DOE -- how about actually doing some friggin teaching?
2) Kids are supposed to eat cookies. They've been eating them for a hundred years. They're not now suddenly causing obesity.
3) Raymond is going to get his ass kicked. Chess club and prefers mocha smoothies? I bet the mocha goes really well with his sushi, the little fucker.
