I was listening on the radio (gasp: NPR) as I was backing my wife's car into the driveway (she's a damn librarian not a bus driver) and I caught this gem (link above).

 

Thoughts? Besides wiping out the whole WIC program by all you uncompassionate conservatives. ;-P

But Marion Nestle [...] argues [potatoes] shouldn’t be on the WIC-approved list because WIC participants are eating plenty of potatoes already—especially the kind that wind up as french fries and potato chips.

 

Potatoes shouldn't be available, because they're available in less nutritious form? That is the most asinine reasoning I've ever seen.
