Along the lines of this post… let’s take a look at what progressives want to do with our food.
There’s a fascinating look at the rules for caterers hoping to get the business of the Denver 2008 Host Committee when the Democrats hold their convention in town in August.
Among the rules:
- no fried foods
- no bottled water (or bottled soda for that matter)
- food served must be local, organic, or both
The reaction from caterers?
“I think it’s a great idea for our community and our environment. The question is, how practical is it?” asks Nick Agro, the owner of Whirled Peas Catering in Commerce City. “We all want to source locally, but we’re in Colorado. The growing season is short. It’s dry here. And I question the feasibility of that.”
You know, when the guy who runs “Whirled Peas Catering” thinks you’re being unrealistic, it’s a pretty good indication you’ve gone off the deep end.
Yes yes, I know. This isn’t a law. It’s just a Request for Proposal from some of the progressives running the convention. That’ll be very comforting to me when I read that Krispy Kremes across the country are being raided by the Department of Homeland Wellness and Nutrition.

Progressives are idiots. The more they “progress,” the more it looks like they want things to be like it was 100+ years ago, when everything was grown locally and there was no bottled water and no imported foods. So the “Progressives” really should be called “Regressives,” shouldn’t they?
