No Fry Zone? Food Fight in Denver Continues
what a friggen joke..Democrats are a bunch of controlling liberal SNOBS
Councilman Says the Proposed "Green" Convention Catering Initiatives are Prejudicial Against Southern Fare
By JOANNA JENNINGS
The heated debate in Denver this summer is not about Obama versus McCain. Rather, it is about old fashioned Southern fried food versus lean and green lighter offerings. The controversy surrounding the food selection for the 2008 Democratic Convention continues, with one councilman claiming the Denver Host Committee's catering proposal is discriminatory toward southern specialties such as fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, and fried okra.
SNIP:
"There is not a ban on fried food, and there never was," said Lopez, who refused to provide a copy of the proposal to ABCNews.com.
But the proposal was obtained by ABCNews.com and it indeed does say that "no items are to be fried". Not only should fried fare be prohibited, says the proposal, but preference will be given to vendors who comply with the "Lean and Green Criteria."
Page nine of the proposal states: "In support of the DNC's "green" mission to planning an environmentally responsible convention, preference will be given to vendors that have a proven commitment to green practices and that consider and minimize the life-cycle environmental impacts of catering."

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."
Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)
