Baking With Your Federal Government

LMAO

That's a terrible way to present that information. There probably were no commities on this and yes it does damn near have a half life. It's supposed to.

I was joking when I said committee. It was actually a team of 22 lead by their trusty team leader Donald J. Hamlin.

if i can't get em in the oven within half an hour it a lost cause because i'v eaten the mixture un cokked by then . Blue.

I keep telling people "beware the Crisco lobby", but no one listens to me.

Them and the beet sugar lobby. Powerful stuff. Keeping the Cane sugar lobby out of Washington for years now.

Again this is so dishonest.

Sean, have you seen the actual document? I have! Google the npr article on the recipe if you don' t believe me. Better yet take a look at the actual twenty six page document.

Yes I have seen the actual document. MIL-C-44072C isn't a recipe for starters it's an entire manual that includes storage, packaging and storage techniques. It's funny that you mention a half-life because they are specifically designed to be something that can be safely eaten three years after it's been made because it's for the military. It's basically a users manual and every user's manual ever is filled with an absurd amount of details which is all that this is. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the debt or lobbies or comittees. I bet you that the Hostess "recipe" for Twinkees is similar in length.

And on that I rest my case.

You rest your case on what? That things aren't simple and you're being terribly dishonest by presenting an entire process that includes handling, packing, storage, processes for handling it as a "recipe". You're restting your case on governments are essentially run like businesses and you agree that the "recipe" for Twinkees or Oreos is probably equally absurdly long because they contain a lot of information that has nothing to do with how to make them?

What were the recipes for?

Brownies and Oatmeal cookies. Why not just call up Hostess or Little Debbie and save the trouble of writing that document? You take life way too seriously sean.

what was the intended use? For example, I used to be in the military. The militaries meals are planned to ensure they provide complete nutrition and a healthy diet. If the recipe is for the military then that committee likely included nutritionists to ensure that these recipes fit into that overall system for nutrition.

Yes, it was for the military.

There's almost a whole page on the three different nuts which may be used and how they have to be a certain size, fitting through a certain sized whole. Then another page to state that the ingredients must be free of forgein materials, such as rodent droppings. Seriously, though, are bluegum, grapekoolaid, and I the only ones that find this funny?

The document is linked. It's not so much a recipe as it is a technical document. It covers everything from the ingredients to what the storage material is made of. Like I said I imagine it's rather common practice for any food. And how do you know they didn't just call up Hostess or Little Debbie and copy an existing document? All we know is said document exists not how it came into being.

And it was funny, until you started linking stuff like this to debt and deficiet. If you meant that as a joke I apologize but people take that stuff seriously and if we're ever going to start getting any of this debt/deficiet shit in hand we have to move the conversation beyond "The government is evil and robs you of your hard earned wealth don'tyoudaretouchanythingIlike" and into the government is a tool and we need to figure out how to work it best. Again this is a technical document, sure it's absurdly long but they all are.
