Salt Banned at FCBOE Schools

I learned something new this morning...

They've removed table salt from FCBOE schools.

You can't find a single salt shaker on a lunchroom table throughout the system.

Salt is bad for you, y'know?

Not sure where you've been,

But in the two schools that my children attend (Booth,McIntosh) haven't had salt on the table as long as they've been there. This is not a new thing.

I went through PTC Elemantary, Huddleston, Booth and McIntosh in the 80's and early 90's. I do not remember ever have salt and pepper shakers. They did offer the small packets though.

The Salt Trick

I did this once in 4th grade and it worked marvelously.

I loosened the lid and just placed it back so that it looked to be on properly. The next kid to salt his food dumped a shaker full onto his plate.

Then I had to stay after school.

Maybe this is the reason for the removal: class clowns like me.

(This works great with ketchup, too. The schools could attempt to remove all of the ketchup bottle, but you know what kids do with those little ketchup packets--stomp 'em on the sidewalks. The effect is similar, I think, to the same activity involving very small rodents.)

An even better trick, Muddle

I learned this one in college.

Put 100 or so packets of mustard in a cafeteria microwave (brown is better, but yellow will also work). Microwave on high for 10 minutes. Do NOT open the microwave door...the next unfortunate soul who opens the microwave door will have a cloud of "mustard gas" (not REAL mustard gas...no vinegar) that will make them retch.

I've heard that local hospitals use this technique in a pinch to induce vomiting when they run out of ipecac syrup and there are no Michelle Malkin or Terry Garlock columns in the paper (the usual methods used to induce vomiting).

Only an @ss would put packets of mustard in a microwave to blow up in someone's face, only an @ss would attempt to make fun of Michelle Malkin and only and @ss would use a drawing of an @ss as his avatar.

I blame it on the budget cuts.

Perhaps The Salt Removal

Was a result of more gumament intervetion and mandates from those who feel obligated to take care of us.

However, the salt was probably removed because the staff got sick and tired of cleaning the messes created as a result of the chilrens playing with it.
