How to catch a thief stealing french fries in school?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) May 14th, 2011

I have always heard that the State of Texas did everything in a big way, but this is unbelievable. The Dept. of Agriculture has given Texas a $2 million dollar grant to catch a french fries thief in school. Yep, its all about obesity in school children. Cameras will be installed, in order to catch the Mr. Potatoe Head thief. In other words, if there are more french fries on your plate, at the end of the line, than the beginning, a photo will be taken and you might be given time in the potatoe bin. Lets face it, obesity is running ramphant in our school children. But, is spending $2 million dollars for cameras….the real answer to obseity? The only way you are going to stop kids from eating french fries is to tape thier mouth shut and place them in handcuffs. A $2 million dollar grant is not the answer. It makes one think that there may be another motive behind this grant. Question: could this $2 million dollar grant to Texas, from The Dept. of Agriculture, been better spent for child obesity? If so, how?
