Quick Bites: Out-of-Touch Steak, Fake Maple Syrup, Etc.

• It seems like the diets of Republican politicians are more scrutinized than those of Democratic ones. (I know, I know; Bill Clinton took some heat for his chowdowns.)

• "Get Ready for Uncle Sam's Assault on Salt": The Washington Times has a good overview of the Obama Administration's food regulations and why they're doomed to failure (in terms of improving people's diets, at least).
• Inmate #1: "So what are you in here for?" Inmate #2: "I got five years for selling fake maple syrup." Inmate #1: "You are a monster. Hey warden, can you put me with a murderer instead?" (As Vanilla Ice said, "Anything less than the best is a felony.")
