Memo to the USDA: A graham cracker with low-fat yogurt and strawberries or banana is not a s’mores.

It’s a mushy mess.

And this is really none of your business.

Via Washington Examiner: Government s’mores: Strawberries instead of chocolate, yogurt instead of marshmallows

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s “MyPlate” service handed out…advice on Sunday, and said strawberry s’mores are a treat that “kids will love.”

But expectations for the kids might need to be set in advance, since these s’mores don’t have any chocolate or marshmallows in them.

Instead, USDA encourages people to plop some low-fat vanilla yogurt on a graham cracker, and then top the yogurt with strawberries. Top it off with another graham cracker, and you have a s’more that looks a lot like a regular s’more, except when you bite into it, you won’t get any ooey-gooey chocolate all over your fingers.

“Kids will love that they can make it themselves, and parents will love that it’s an inexpensive and healthy treat!” USDA said on its recipe page….

    Strawberries and Cream are Wimbledon British. We kicked the British out, in part, for meddling with what we consume (tea). Time to kick the USDA out.

    The last thing a person would reach for on a chilly evening around a campfire. Even the bears would skip these. Might hit the spot standing around in a DC office building with the thermostat turned up to 82. Govt. is populated with lunkheads.

    Why stop with ridding the Smores of chocolate and marshmallows? Why not substitute placards of cardboard for the graham crackers? Food Network, here they come.

    Pie is delicious. Why waste pie when you have this to aim at a liberal’s face?
