Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said “Americans can stop wasting food” by “reducing portion size”.
Swell. Get ready for the ObamaPlate.

Other agencies, too, are eager to reduce the portions on our plates.
Sen. Inhofe, of the Senate Committee on Environment & Public Works, released a Sept. 20th report on the pretty ridiculous regulatory overreach by the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers, in which the agencies try to expand their jurisdiction over pretty much every piece of land in the country they don’t already control and regulate. The following is from the committee’s summary:
.
Landowners will not be able to rely on current statutory exemptions or the new regulatory exemptions because the agencies have narrowed the exemptions in practice and simply regulate under another name. For example:
the report highlights instances where if activity takes place on land that is wet:
◦Plowing to shallow depths is not exempt when the Corps calls the soil between furrows “mini mountain ranges,” “uplands,” and “dry land;”
◦Disking is regulated even though it is a type of plowing;
◦Changing from one agricultural commodity constitutes a new use that eliminates the exemption; and
◦Puddles, tire ruts, sheet flow, and standing water all can be renamed “disturbed wetlands” and regulated.

It’s called the Venezuela diet. Please pass the Pomeranian.
Perhaps Mr. Vilsack would be interested in a discovery that I’ve made: He can stop letting people know that he’s a fool by keeping his pie-hole shut.
