Michelle Obama’s America: Salt ‘Black Markets’ Arise in School Cafeterias

25th June 2015

Read it.

Kids in a school district in Indiana have created a black market in salt packets, which they trade and sell to help mitigate the disgusting taste of the so-called healthy lunches mandated under federal guidelines.

These guidelines were championed by First Lady Michelle Obama. Like so many other clumsy government attempts to make people healthier by forbidding the consumption of things they like, the initiative is a costly failure.

‘Black market’ is a tendentious slur-word for situations in which the pricing and availability of goods are dictated by someone’s political agenda rather than free exchange. They are always a symptom of tyranny.

    From article: “In the meantime, at least kids are learning something valuable about how markets work.”

    Yup. Score one for the real world.
