"What we want to do is set minimum standards so that all children have access to healthy food choices. We want parents to be comfortable knowing that ALL of the food choices that their children would have at school would be choices [the parents] would be comfortable with."

"The beverage industry has agreed to stop selling full sugar-sweetened beverages to schools, such as full-sugar soda."

"The decline that we're seeing [in dairy operations] is because of different factors. Number one, is probably is because of the cost to raise dairy...the input costs are just increasing, and the price of milk is down. It's not profitable. So we see a lot of the smaller milk producers bailing out." --King Whetstone on Hot Grease
