Drudge Headline: 'HEALTHY' LUNCHES SPARK RAT INFESTATION

[emperus]

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) — San Francisco Unified School District serves more fresh food and a greater number of meals to their students since switching food providers last year, but the fresh-food program has led to some infrastructure challenges of its own including one problem with four legs and a very bad reputation for carrying disease: rats.
Students have enjoyed healthier breakfasts and lunches prepared and cooked locally by East Bay food provider, Revolution Foods. However, the success of the program — and the increase in fresh food on site – is highlighting a lack of refrigerators at schools as well as excess food waste, which may be factors in the increased presence of rodents at schools.

Is this what the conservative movement has boiled down to?

 

[Greenman]

That headline is from the local news, didn't see any mention of drudge.

Rat's are a problem in the food service industry, along with roaches. Food waste allowed to stay on site will always attract vermin. This is cafeteria 101.

Is this what the conservative movement has boiled down to?

Is this what the liberal movement has boiled down to?

Evidently in the SF liberal movement the rats are what's getting boiled down.

 

[dphantom]

oops, the OP is Mcowned.

 

[realibrad]

Holy crap at the comments on the news link.

 

[emperus]

Holy crap at the comments on the news link.

Yes, because the story is currently Drudge's headline.

Edit: It was Drudge's Headline. You can always tell when Drudge links an article by all the Conservative illogical irrational Neanderthal fire-breeding comments.

You do know how Drudge works correct? I assume even they realized how idiotic is was to be blasting a story about a Rat infestation because a school district is actually serving "FRESH" food.

 

[emperus]

Is this what the liberal movement has boiled down to?

Yes, the liberal position in this situation is what the problem is. You can go back and continue to stick ur head in the dirt.

Then you should counter spin it.

Rats are flocking to the only good food in town.

I'm just trying to decide who is being more trite...a few conservatives dissing Michele Obama's healthy food initiative or you broadly dissing the conservative movement based on nothing more than a few conservatives dissing Michele Obama's healthy food initiative. Tough call.

 

[theeedude]

Food we feed our kids is finally palatable to rats?

 

[zephyrprime]

The liberals must be doing no wrong for Drudge to resort to using such a meaningless and unimportant issue as his top headline. Pretty lame.

If you think the comments on the original article are "dissing" I don't know what to say. Firthy human beings on that thread.

Filthy human beings are everywhere, regardless of their political ideology...this is a fundamental reality of the world we live in. I was actually referring to the content of the article...not the comments below the article which I didn't read initially. So tell me something...do you think it's reasonable, or rational for that matter, to extrapolate from this article (and, to throw you a bone, some of the comments below the article) to conclude that this all somehow embodies the conservative movement?

:thumbsup:

 

[realibrad]

Its pretty clear that the rats are a problem, because school food programs were expanded, and more food is served and thus more waste right?

I think there is more than one conservative movement. Rational people who honestly feel conservative principles and limited government result in better outcomes, these days these folks more identify as Libertarian. Nick Gillespie etc.

Then there is another conservative movement, more entrenched in fear and a false sense of entitlement / exceptional-ism, these folks are the ones posting on the original article comments.

I don't think the second group does the first any favors.

 

[etrigan420]

School lunches attract rats...story about rats attracts Drudgers.

Coincidence?

Conservatives are a very diverse group...tough to broadly stereotype based on a few reactions to a relatively obscure article on a slow news day. But some don't seem to have a problem doing this it seems. Which brings us to a rather interesting rhetorical question...which of these people among us do you think are the sadder reflection on the ideological values they hold so dear?

It clearly doesn't embody all conservatives, but that's hardly the point. The point is it embodies a very vocal, very visible subset of conservatives. This lunatic fringe tends to drown out the majority of conservatives who are more reasoned. It doesn't help that you are using this as an opportunity to attack the left -- thus implicitly supporting your lunatic fringe -- instead of repudiating the Drudgers as idiots who do not speak for you.

It's similar to the majority of Muslims who aren't terrorists, the majority of police officers who aren't thugs, etc. When the majority who are good remain silent, the bad apples come to be seen as representative of the whole. You can uselessly attack the messenger, or you can speak out against the bad apples who taint your good name.

My $0.02

I am sure conservatives are a very diverse group of folks. However the question isn't related to say their favorite pet food. In the context of definable conservatism and the people who subscribe to it, I really see two overreaching segments as I have described.

Who among us is a sadder reflection of the ideology they identify with? hell if I know, I think if someone pigeon holes there beliefs in an ideological construct they are already in trouble.

So you actually think that I'm implicitly supporting "my" lunatic fringe? Wow, just wow. The OP asked "Is this what the conservative movement has boiled down to?" and my comments were directed at the type of mentality that asks such a ludicrous question. You see a messenger...I see a hack. That's my $0.02.

 

[Newell Steamer]

Drudge once reported on Obama's Evil Eye; http://www.mediaite.com/online/drudge-is-back-obamas-evil-eye-lead-story/

He is the epitome of Conservative Brain Defect.

I am curious why you are pretending not to know what role the Drudge Report plays in the Conservative sphere.

I am also curios why you are pending as if this Drudge Headline in relation to Obama's lunch changes is a one off thing limited to drudge and not part of the meme of the mainstream Conservative movement.
