Jon Stewart clowns Eric Bolling and Fox News over school lunch nutrition guideline outrage. "Because freedom!"
In case you weren't aware, Eric Bolling is an idiot. And you can't use food stamps at McDonalds or any other restaurant for that matter.

OK- ran out the door today with no time to scramble eggs or even make a sandwich. So I’m surviving on an apple and handful of peanuts, and the coffee I took to the office until dinner.
