Culinary Crystal Ball

2005: Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver condemns the "turkey twizzler" culture in British school lunch rooms. Demands students eat what he wants them to eat. Government yaps like happy little puppies at the thought of more social engineering opportunities.

2007: Cost of school lunches shoots up 250 percent and students stop eating the "healthy" menus because they can't stand them. School meal services face collapse. Government acts all surprised that students act like creatures with free will and responds by pouring more taxpayer money down the rat hole.

Don't you love it when a plan comes together?

    Now it'll only take the bankruptcy of the entire public school system to reverse these trends...

    ...after all, if it still has money, we in the government can make it kinda work.
