Ketchup is a Vegetable, Milk is Junk Food

Remember when the USDA decided that ketchup is a vegetable in the Reagan years? Well, it seems as though the State of Indiana is trying to do them one better: Senate Bill 0111 would effectively classify whole milk as a junk food. Milk that's been processed, dried and had every bit of natural goodness sucked right out of it would be just fine - but not whole milk, and certainly not real milk. Hel, that's illegal to sell in Indiana, if you want to drink it you have to own a cow share.

If anyone out there still suffers from the delusion that our government is run by rational folks, this should go a long ways to dispelling it.
