Richard Cretan is a dear friend and one of the most talented writers I know. In his blog, Glebe Cow Drooled, he recently commented on my efforts to improve snacks at my daughter’s pre-school. Here is an excerpt, written in Richard’s inimitable style:

Against bureaucratic feet-dragging, I had earlier advised [Bill] to wage a campaign of surrealism and hijinks by staging an anti-junk food demo at the school: march the kids around holding giant self-portraits in which they’re transmogrified into the quivering jellied ovoids that are apt to rise from a diet of Pop-Tarts and doughnuts. Bill may have found this a bit much for Northfield, Minnesota.

Now comes news that shouldn’t be too surprising. Earlier this month, a new Florida State University study found Americans see being fat as normal. So maybe the pre-school has been onto something all along. Cheese puffs: gateway to cultural literacy!
