E coli in spinach. Popeye. Get it?
Food Ayatollahs like the Center for Science in the Public Interest have long waged jihad on everything you like. Activist Cash.com offers a glimpse at their battle plan:
- extra taxes on foods with fat, sugar, and sodium (the so-called “Twinkie tax”);
- government-mandated “warning” labels on high-fat, high-calorie menu items;
- mandatory
nutrition information on restaurant menus, menu-boards, meat packages,
hamburger wrappers, food commercials, ice cream stores, movie theatres,
bakeries, hot dog stands, etc., etc.- requirements that broadcasters give free “equal time” to government-supported advertisements of “healthy” foods;
- restrictions on baby food packaging requiring that tapioca be labeled as “chemically modified food starch”;
- labels warning parents that soft drinks may be replacing low-fat milk, fruit juice, and other drinks in their children’s diets;
- labels warning of contamination from fresh, unpasteurized juices;
- a government-sponsored “Must-Not-See-TV Week” campaign; and
- stricter regulations on genetically enhanced foods, which are already the most regulated food products in the U.S.
Organically raised spinach might be the one thing they'd want you to eat.

The ABJ editorial cartoonist is doodling about e coli in spinach even as Cheney and his evil Halliburton henchmen gather in Jackson Hole to feast on red cow meat?
Beware the Ides of March, Bok!

yeah, chip! that damn government always meddling in the affairs of everyday people. why don't they just leave us alone?? i mean, next thing you know they'll be listening in on our phone calls, snooping our e-mail, denying haebus corpus to any detainee they want.
oh.wait.
oh well, chip, keep fighting the good fight against those "Food Ayatollahs!"
p.s.- and if you not too busy fighting them and the islamo-facists from the comfort of your chair, could ya maybe try to actually make a cartoon funny even once in a while? i mean, i know you are busy helping the president with the "global war on terror" but with things they way they are, us little people sure could use a chuckle here and there.

Maybe management should warn readers to wash their hands with soap and water after reading the BJ because bits of manure might be found on certain pages of the paper.

Chip, the commie, liberal left here are so used to having the media spout their trash, they can't handle it when your cartoons don't support their anti Bush garbage.

Finally!!….. Some humor here. Thanks Sam.

"You cannot trust your neighbor or even next of kin
If mommie is a commie then you gotta turn her in.
We're the John Birch Society, lost in our piety,
If your mommie is a commie, you gotta turn her in.."
Thanks for the memories.
Larry, Curly, and Slope…. That's a pretty impressive posse you have there Chip. Who wants to be Shemp ?

Good one, Spartacus!

Spartacus, does Larry know that line is from an anti-Birch Society song?

I'm not familiar with the Anti-Birch Society, Mencken, but I have been a member of the Akron Oak Hater's Association for years.
It's nice we have something in common but I had you guys pegged for tree huggers.

So what do you do at your meetings?
September 22nd, 2006 at 8:07 pm
Larry….the restraint I am showing now is monumental.
I must be dying.

Mostly we just sit around on tree stumps, build bonfires and pray for global warning, Spartacus.
It makes for a very nice time.

By 'warning' I mean 'warming.'

Freudian slip there Larry ? Count me out, sounds a little too
much like being a member of Congress.
