First Lady to Wage War on Cadbury Eggs
CNS NEWS: The White House announced Monday that this year’s Easter Egg Roll will be “more environmentally friendly,” including eggs made with wood certified by an environmental activist organization and packaging “to minimize waste and environmental impact.”
The press release issued by the White House states that the eggs will be produced in the United States from hardwood “certified” by the Forest Stewardship Council, a non-profit organization with a presence in 50 countries and a mission “to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.”
The “greener” packaging for the eggs – available in purple, pink, green and yellow – is made from paperboard certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. The paperboard “uses no wood fibers from controversial sources” and the printed carton the egg comes in can be recycled. The packaging is also decorated with vegetable oil-based inks and water-based coatings.
Are you friggin kidding me?
This just in… The First lady to wage war on Cadbury Eggs.
You ever feel like you are living in some surrealistic dream? Reports like this certainly kick the Dali-meter into overdrive.
All one can do is laugh. I left frustration back there somewhere around the time by trash man began writing me tickets for not sorting my TRASH properly.
There’s no need for your snark.
How can you find fault with this? I, for one, am happy to see they’ll be using environmentally friendly eggs for a change. Those old-fashioned hard boiled ones have a half-life of what…? Coupla thousand years? If everyone were as selfish as you, we’d have landfills overflowing with pink and purple hard boiled eggs and an eggshell island floating around the Pacific! Fer gawd’s sake, it’s not like those things just break down and rot!
…oh…wait…
Hahaha. You had me going for a second there. Thank God you’re a smartass. Any comment that opens with “There’s no need for the snark” typically isn’t going to go so great.
Enjoyed it.
