Coming to Boulder soon, the nanny state. At least it’s stuck in Queen’s for the moment.
Employees also got a bright-colored brochure stipulating what can and can’t be served at meetings and parties.
Tap water is a menu must when food or drinks are served. Other beverages must be less than 25 calories per 8 ounces.
“Cut muffins and bagels into halves or quarters, or order mini sizes. Offer thinly-sliced, whole-grain bread,” the brochure states.
Deep-fried foods are an absolute no-no and “cannot be served.”
For celebrations, cake and air-popped popcorn – “popped at the party and served in brown paper lunch bags” – are allowed.
But when a “celebration cake” is served, cookies can’t be offered.
“These standards are mandatory for meetings and events sponsored by the Health Department,” the brochure states.
NO THANK YOU. It will be real interesting to see the unintended consequences of this attack of nannyism. Excuse me while I go visit the great god of porcelain.
