So..have nutrition standards fallen so much under Bush that a serving of Ravioli counts as a FULL

With the economy in the shitter--this type of false-but-not-really *wink wink* claim irritates me because people will think feeding their kids hydrogenated pasta crap is healthy because it has vegetables in it.:banghead:

2. I think also because the food is cheap.
I guess it's nice to see the GOP-controlled media acknowledge the recession/depression they had a hand in creating even in this round-about way.
