The new standards are part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act signed into law by President Obama.

In addition, an initiative called a “friendlier food environment” will hopefully make things a lot easier for vegetarian school children, allowing them to access plant-based items like tofu and legumes, according to Agriculture Under Secretary for Food Kevin Concannon.

“I was on the campaign trail covering George H.W. Bush and grabbed a bite to eat at a little restaurant down South,” Crowley told Rachael Ray. “I ordered venison, but there was just something about how the meat looked.

“Meditation offers him that, he has a mantra that he likes to chant and after every session he feels transformed and full of positive energy.”

Bloomberg Nathan's Contest

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was caught celebrating the not-so-art of competitive eating at the recent Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest.

His action of cheering on the consumption of over 60 hot dogs in a day and even stuffing his own face with one did not by any means undermine his strong stance on keeping New Yorkers healthy, as the New York Daily News mentions he, “did not wash it down with a big soda.”

Thank goodness.
