'Fatal food' shirt
sparks outrage
from nutritionists
JUST THE BEGINNING
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — For years, they
have endured jokes about "mys
tery meat," tolerated cracks about
rubber macaroni 'n' cheese, forced
a smile when their breaded veal
cutlets are called "knee pads."
But the nation's school nutri
tionists are getting acid indiges
tion over a new T-shirt — de
signed by one of their own cus
tomers! It proclaims: "School
Food. It's Fatal. Eat it before it
eats you."
The shirt's front also has a pie
chart that purports to describe the
fate of those who eat school
lunches: "Fatalities, 70 percent;
Food ate them, 10 percent; They
ate food, 5 percent; Survivors, 15
percent."
It's enough to make the people
behind the counter scream "Food
fight!"
There's only one way to de
scribe the shirt — '"very bad
taste" — says Carol Sheeks, nutri
tion director for the Carson City,
Nev., schools.
Hey, it's a joke, says the shirt's
creator, 15-year-old Stephen Var
ga of Staten Island. On Monday,
the New Dorp High School junior
rejected the notion that he was
anything other than true to his
school cafeteria.
"Hey, I eat in our cafeteria
every day, 'cept today, 'cause I
had a lab," he said. "It's better
than some restaurants. ... They
have pizza, cheeseburgers. Steak
'Ems, french fries, onion rings."
Varga and his classmates were
part of a program that asked art
students to create a funny, inter
esting or provocative T-shirt.
His entry, designed on his
home computer, was judged
among the best of more than 6,000
from around the nation.

the contest. Designs for Educa-

tion, has made T-shirts with the
best 40 designs, and is donating a
dollar from each sale to buy art
supplies for the schools. It expects
to sell about 100,000 shirts this
year.
That doesn't mollify the
schools' culinary artists. They're
fighting back, slinging faxes in
stead of hash.
Barbara Borschow, director of
the American School Food Service
Association, called the shirt "a
cheap and truly questionable de
sign."
About half the 25 million stu
dents who eat school lunches are
poor.
"For these students to see their
peers displaying a shirt that says
the food they rely on for nutrition
is 'fatal' is both damaging and
painful," she argued.
Such complaints have lei
the shirt's being pulled froms|;|
eral stores, including Rich's!?,
lanta and Seattle's Bon Marche
Donn? Whtrock, the Den
Public Schools' food services:
rector, took it seriously enougt
check scientific literature.
She found "absolutely nos;
entific proof for your statenp
aliout school food causing dei;
for a student."
It's just a joke, insists Brei
Greene of Designs for Educafejj
"We showed it to a thousi*
people and got a thousand cheti
les," he said. "It's not like this:
sacrilege. Institutional food isig
stitutional food. We all knowi
doesn't taste as good as what'
get: at home."

"Voting no on this project is
the way to send the message we
are in fact serious about cutting
waste," said Rep. Sherrod Brown,
D-Ohio. "If we mean it, it's time
to put up or shut up."
Critics had urged lawmakers to
restate their opposition to the col
lider by rejecting the conference
report hammered out last week by
House and Senate negotiators.
Collider foes had b.een angered by
the conference committee's make
up, with 21 of 24 members on
record as pro-collider.
Both sides lobbied furiously I
votes in recent days, with"
White House weighing in will
pro-collider forces. Texas Gf

gested the Marines could substi

although deLaski said there were
no plans to bring the Marines
ashore, barring an emergency.
Clinton's announcement came
two days after the U.S. ambas
sador to the United Nations,
Madeleine Albright, publicly con
firmed that U.S. soldiers in Soma
lia had stopped trying to capture
Aidid. DeLaski noted thai he"
mains wanted by the United'j
tions for his alleged role inajul
attack in Mogadishu, the Scr:|
capital, in which 24 PakisK
peacekeepers were killed.
"There is not an active effort;
search for members of the Aii
apparatus," deLaski said.

"We will have to work through
the whole issue of how we deal
with the fact that if we pass NAF
TA we have to reduce tariffs,"
Clinton said as he met with a
group of undecided House mem
bers. "That's a $2.5 billion tax on
American consumers ... that we
will reduce. Under our budget
laws, that has to be replaced in
some way."

noble intentions but is no longer
working.
He also expressed support for
U.S. involvement in international
affairs saying it is the job of the
U.S. to set an example for the rest
of the world.
"It is our place to lead by exam
ple," he said. "We have to show
other countries the right way to
do things."
Referring to a speech by former
president Ronald Reagan, he said
the United
States should be a "shining
light on a hill" and serve as a
model of government.
Fisher said he does not support
the proposed multicultural re
quirement currently being debat
ed on the Texas A&M campus.
The United States is made up
of many different cultures, he
said, and to single any out for
recognition is unnecessary.
Fisher said multiculturalism of
ten divides the students of other
campuses, however, if used prop
erly it could become a strengthen
ing asset.
"Multiculturalism becomeij
divisive force rather than a
ing force," he said.
If elected, Fisher promised 1
will not allow himself to fall'I
tim the "arrogance of power.’ : l
said many politicians, oncetfl
get in office, forget wheretl 11 1
came from.
Fisher served as a senior ad' 1 ■
er on foreign policy to Ross P Ef 1
during his 1992 presidentiald 1 1
paign. He is currently serving j
the Standing Academic Con# !
tee at SMU and serves on se# I
boards and committees that f# I
on international affairs.
