More pizza, fewer vegetables: Trump administration further undercuts Obama school-lunch rules The Washington Post

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has taken another whack at former first lady Michelle Obama’s signature achievement: Establishing stricter nutritional standards for school breakfasts and lunches. And on her birthday.

On Friday, USDA Deputy Under Secretary Brandon Lipps proposed new rules for the Food and Nutrition Service that would allow schools to cut the amount of vegetables and fruits required at lunch and breakfasts while giving them license to sell more pizza, burgers and fries to students.

Potato lobbyists applauded the decision.

Larry David: The Incredibly Happy Life of TV’s Favorite Grouch

Brett Martin:

It is almost reflexive—for reasons of temperament and ethnicity—to describe David as “neurotic.” Sitting there with him in what I had already begun to think of as Larry World, I start to believe maybe this is exactly wrong. It occurs to me that Larry David may be the most self-actualized person I have ever met.

Delightful profile. And I’m not even a fan of the show.

That moment when you’re sitting on the couch and you tilt your head back to get the last few drops of your delicious breakfast shake, but you forgot you had your glasses on top of your head and you feel them slip off and hear them hit the carpet behind the couch.

On the other hand, the dog’s reaction was most gratifying when I moved the couch while she was sitting on it.

I am enjoying Jack Ryan enough to watch one episode a night, but not enough for two.

I’m glad Jim found a new career; he seemed unhappy at Dunder Mifflin.
