Ban Sprinkles? Aw Hell No!!

Looks like the sprinkles for cakes, donuts and ice cream is going to go the way of other banned stuff if the FDA has their way.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS: FDA MOVES TO BAN CAKE, DONUT ‘SPRINKLES’

Early next year, the FDA is expected to finalize a new regulation intended to eradicate even trace amounts of partially hydrogenated oils, known as trans fats, from our diets. Although the amount of trans fats Americans consume has declined significantly in recent years, the FDA’s quest to completely eliminate a particular type of trans fat threatens to eliminate the noble “sprinkle,” used to decorate holiday treats and donuts. Even a small amount of joy is suspect in the FDA’s brave, new, food-monitored world.~snip~

It's especially galling seeing as how the food police were the ones who foisted trans fats on is in the first place.
(from the article)

At this juncture, it bears repeating that a large reason trans fats used to be so prevalent in our diets was due to the activism of the food nannies at Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). The left-wing food scolds, most famous for its reports on “calorie bomb” food entrees, pushed restaurants and food companies to switch to trans fats in the 1980s and 1990s.

Putting sprinkles on baked goods at home is a time honored rite of passage for uncounted toddlers helping out in the kitchen along with icing cookies beforehand of course. The food Nazis' don't seem to have a problem with banning that along with the delightful little sprinkles.

I guess it's not like they have anything else more important to do like maybe doing something about the outbreaks of listeria or other food borne health outbreaks.
How petty do these bureaucrats have to go to justify their continuous growth?

Who Should Go?

Dennis Miller has the answer, it's nothing new, I've seen the suggestion countless times before. They want Obamacare so badly it didn't matter to them if the economy tanks as long as they get their free stuff.
At least they'll have health care, eventually, if the incompetent meddling bureaucrats can ever get Healthcare.gov running.

The Infestation is Deeper than the IRS

A lot of people online are applauding this video of Rep. Trey Gowdy lecturing the IRS on their shameful waste of taxpayer money for their own enjoyment while other Americans are struggling to survive in Obama's economy.
As well they should, but as Gowdy says over and over, training will not solve the problem.
The real problem is the ensconced liberal/progressives that infest civil service from the top to the very bottom.
When the bright idea came up for IRS agents to single out opponents of the current regime doesn't it strike anyone as kind of odd that no one spoke up and possibly suggested that it might be wrong?
The reason is because they honestly believe that they are entitled to do whatever they choose to intimidate citizens into silence.

If anyone actually believes that hearings alone will cure what ails civil service then they are delusional.
To cure the government of what they are doing, which is actually declaring war on ordinary citizens of this country, an actual purge of these agencies is what is needed. A mass firing of partisan hacks who entered civil service for the sole purpose of forcing their ideas and beliefs on others. Instead of simply following the rules and regulations set down by congress.
If not then over time the corrupt liberal/progressive bureaucrats will slowly but surely go back to their "let them eat cake" attitudes and corrupt practices.
I worked in civil service for a short time and one thing I learned is that most loyalties with them lie in their unions and with liberal/progressive ideologies.
It was like that 30 years ago and I'm sure it's like that now on steroids.

Politicians come and go, bureaucrats go one forever.
Shrink and restructure civil service to actually serve their country, not create little fiefdoms who wield control over citizens without accountability.
