Shantia Dennis, a McDonald's employee in Pittsburgh was arrested Wednesday.
Undercover police said Ms. Dennis was selling heroin in Happy Meal boxes, according to a criminal complaint.
Customers looking for heroin were instructed to go through the drive-through and say, "I'd like to order a toy." The customer would then be told to proceed to the first window, where they would be handed a Happy Meal box containing heroin, Manko said.
Officers found 10 “stamp bags” of heroin inside of a Happy Meal box. That explains the mysterious secret sauce found in Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s apartment.
Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Forget the chocolate, romatic dinner, jewelry or champagne. Imagine your sweety clad in a tight-fitting shirt, sporting your favorite food: bacon.
You can practically smell the bacon cooking and it keeps any shady Muslims away. Nothing says, "I love you!" like a shirt with a rendering of fatty, salty bacon.
"Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are."

2013 marked the culmination of the new food stupidity. We found out that the government can hold Christian cake bakers hostage and force them to create a decorative wedding torte for gays. Skittles became a symbol for lynching black children until the public realized that the candy was the main ingredient in an intoxicating thug juice called “purple drank.” Olive oil is the new gang currency in Greece as armed thugs part of criminal syndicates hijacked tanks of oil.
Apparently, maple syrup is as valuable as gold after the revelation that The Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers uncovered the theft of 10 million pounds of maple syrup valued at $30.4 million U.S. Dollars. It was revealed that peanut butter and jelly sandwiches have joined watermelon and fried chicken as foods deemed to be racist. Our FLOTUS decimated the school lunch program serving the kids 1.5 ounce burger patties, whole grain “potato chips,” and black bean sandwiches and declared “water” a food. Big Labor killed the Twinkie. New York Mayor Bloomberg declared war on 16 oz soda on the heels of banning butter, salt and transfats. Ben and Jerry had to sue to protect their ice cream flavor names from turning into porn film titles, Boston Cream Thighs and Peanut Butter D-Cups.
Americans confronted head-on the unspoken reality of human existence –our love affair with food. Meanwhile the powers that be conspire to commandeer our obsession with food – seizing the symbolism, marketing ingredients to us and shoving false nutritional pabulum down our throats masked as scientific fact.
Of late, food trends have become all the rage. Designer foods are thrust upon us by celebrity chefs who cajole us into purchasing and preparing the ingredient du jour. The year 2013 was ripe with many such ingredients and for those of us who self-describe as “foodies,” we will be happy to see many of these trends disappear into the ether where they belong.
Oeufs: Hamburgers, fried rice, salads, pizza and asparagus avec oeufs a cheval. Yep that’s French for slap a fried egg on top. Not just any egg – a duck or quail egg. This trend needs to stop. A hamburger does not need a fried egg - no need to mix chickens and cows. We don’t do it on the ranch, we shouldn’t do it at the dinner table.
Chipotle:First of all what the heck is it? It is ubiquitous in restaurant names and menu descriptions. Chipotle is a basically jalapeno that has been tortured. First it was left on the vine to turn red. Then it was picked, abused and slammed on to metal sheets where it is dried for days. No wonder it tastes bad. It is overused and bitter.
Greek yogurt: Because of marketing, I can no longer even discuss Greek yogurt without picturing washed -up actor John Stamos. I digress. Greek yogurt is a thick type of yogurt that Liberal elitists (translation:old, rich white women) have been slurping down for years– and of course, it comes from Greece, so it must be good. Greek yogurt producers in New York State have tripled sales in less than 5 years because of marketing. In an ironic twist of environmentalist fate, apparently during the making of Greek yogurt, the yogurt MUST be strained and this process leaves a waste by-product called acid or sour whey which is a liquid by-product consisting of water, lactose, protein and yogurt cultures. Modern Farmer reports that whey acid is so environmentally toxic that it is illegal to dump it. Once it gets into the waterways, it kills off most aquatic water life.
Quinoa:Quinoa is a species of goosefoot - a grain crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is the new foodie elite’s substitute for rice of pasta. Overrated does not begin to describe this mushy bitter-tasting seed grain. Just give us grits. With cheese.
Kimchi:Question; who would eat sour, rotten, fermented, bacteria-laden cabbage that had been buried for more than a year underground? Answer; food critics. For some reason, this nasty rotten Korean condiment is added to recipes all over the United States and it is a trend that needs to end. Now.
Chicken and Waffles:For a country supposedly obsessed with weight and nutrition, fried chicken with waffles seems like overkill. Maple syrup does not belong anywhere near fried chicken. That special place is reserved only for cream gravy. Eat either waffles, or eat chicken. Separate plates. Period.
The Cronut. I don’t even know what this is except that Buzzfeed picked up some story about a revolutionary new pastry item that idiotic New Yorkers wait in line for every morning. It is a cross between a croissant and a donut. Not sure how the baker got them to mate, but I’m sure there’s an interesting story.
Smears: Enough already. Smears are sauces, dressings, jams that are literally smeared on the plate to give the dish an “artistic” plate presentation. If the sauce is good enough, I want more than a smear. If it does not belong as an accompaniment to the dish, it should be eliminated.
Celebrity chefs with their cartoon-like images collaborate against an unsuspecting public to sell their latest wares – cookbooks, pots and pans. And those of us foodies follow in lock- step, fearing we are not good enough if we forget and pile 1990s shrimp and grits on the plate instead of hand- polished Israeli Pearl Couscous with preserved lemon and cracked pepper. Damn. I am starting to feel bad about myself again.
After a 7 year hiatus, Krispy Kreme is coming back to Houston, Texas. All those many years ago, the melt-in-your-mouth donut franchise got crossways with its local franchisees shut down the stores and pulled out of the lucrative Houston marketplace.
According to a press release Monday, the company signed a development agreement with Dulce Restaurants, LLC, to open ten new Krispy Kreme locations in Houston over the next five years. Houstonians like donuts as much as the next guy, but Krispy Kreme will have stiff competition on its hands - Shipley Do-Nuts.
"This is an ecological disaster," said Craig Cox with the Environmental Working Group to the AP. Cox’s group, once a White House ally, who now opposes the administration’s ethanol policies.
The Associated Press (AP) recently published a story about the myth of the benefits of ethanol that has generated huge controversy in liberal environmental circles.
The Obama administration steadfastly believed that ethanol was the magic elixir that would solve global warming. Obama implemented the so-called ethanol mandate that required a percentage of the biofuel, ethanol, to be added to the gasoline, believing that the panacea would alleviate “global warming.” Of course, temperatures have not risen in 15 years and science does not bear out that ethanol as a an additive to fossil fuel alleviates pollution. In fact, use of ethanol increases pollution.
The United States’ ethanol mandate has severely harmed the environment with no tangible benefits. The reality is that as corn growers rushed to receive crop subsidies for growing corn. This caused a demand for land (including tracts not fully suitable for corn growth) that have resulted in hijacking lands previously marked for conservation and destroying habitats like wetlands that farmers would ordinarily avoid.
Worldwide corn shortages have driven the cost of corn and in turn drove the cost of food staples up – causing famine in some countries who had their hunger problem mostly controlled before the ethanol policies took effect.
Opposition to the ethanol industry has created unlikely allies – the oil companies who oppose the absurd mandate and environmental groups who figured out that ethanol does more harm to the environment than good, according to their definition of harm.
FACT: Since Obama took office, 5 million acres of land set aside for conservation have been lost in the drive to harvest more corn for ethanol.
FACT: Corn has been farmed for livestock feed. Production of ethanol has adversely impacted feed available for livestock.
FACT: Farmers have plowed into land previously unused for farming, releasing amounts of carbon dioxide into the air that would take native plants decades to reduce naturally.
FACT: Billions of pounds of fertilizer were also used on land, some of which has leaked into drinking water, rivers, and has expanded the Gulf of Mexico’s dead zone, which can no longer support life.
FACT: Production of ethanol in factories is powered by coal or natural gas anyway.
FACT: The effectiveness of ethanol as a reducer of carbon dioxide emissions has also been greatly exaggerated.
FACT: The price of corn has more than doubled since 2010.
The ethanol industry went on the warpath against the AP report with an immature quip: "There's probably more truth in this week's National Enquirer than there is in the AP story."
Facts are hard to dispute. The ethanol industry’s knee-jerk response to compare the AP report to a National Enquirer celeb expose’ clearly demonstrates that ethanol producers have no substantive argument to refute to the findings of the AP report.
With the devastating weather and crop reductions in Spain, prices
of olive oil in the U.K are predicted to rise as much as 50%. Greece has long
been the world's largest per capita consumer of olive oil and as prices rise,
the Greek economic woes forced families to cut back drastically on necessities
like foodstuffs. These conditions make the market ripe for black market
activity (puns intended).
One criminal incident occurred after a delivery man traveled to an
undisclosed location in Thessaloniki to make a large delivery of olive oil.
According to the Greek newspaper DefenceNet
a delivery man with a large quantity of olive oil arrived at
his stop in Thessaloniki was ambushed by four men who forced him to
hand over the olive oil at gunpoint. The total value of the goods stolen
was reportedly worth 4,000 euros.
A second armed robbery involving olive oil took place in at the
EKO sports arena where olive oil was stored. Six armed men stole a total of 50
crates filled with bottles of olive oil which they loaded into an unmarked van
without license plates.
A third robbery occurred in the Western Peloponnese city of
Patras. Thieves stole large, heavy tanks of olive oil from the resident’s
storage facility.
These recent olive oil robberies follow on the heels of additional
olive oil related crimes in Thessaloniki and Athens earlier in the summer.
Greek police made several arrests in both cities related to two separate olive
oil fraud rings.

“There really
isn’t data to support this. I think, unfortunately, frankly, they’re not basing this on really hard
science. It’s not a very scientific approach they’ve taken. … To make it a
major public health effort, I think I would say it’s bizarre.” - Dr. Stanley Goldfarb of the University of Pennsylvania
Her work is
not done. Michelle Obama does not see the irony in the
fact that, in a country with a record number of people on food stamps, the poorest group of Americans ( low income and minorities) have an
obesity problem. Yep – our poor
people are too fat. Frankly, we should be proud.
But for whatever
reason, the most corpulent First Lady in modern history (who happens
to have a youngest daughter who is prone to beefiness as well) is obsessed with what
Americans eat. Over the past few years, Michelle has decimated the public school
lunch program, riddling it with nutritional guidelines that have rendered
lunches inedible and ruined budgets for many school districts that are now
forced to charge for lunches that children will not eat.
This week, Michelle promotes more junk science with her latest initiative that is part of
the Let’s Move campaign - declaring that increasing water consumption will
improve the health of kids and all Americans.
“I’ve come to
realize that if we were going to take just one step to make ourselves and our
families healthier, probably the single best thing we could do is to simply
drink more water,” Obama said in a press release. “That’s it – it’s really that
simple. Drink just one more glass of water a day and you can make a real
difference for your health, your energy, and the way you feel.”
Of course, medically
speaking, this is crap. The idea that water “increases energy” is patently
absurd. Michelle is merely copying European nations who have rolled out ridiculous
unsuccessful campaigns like Britain’s Hydration for Health which was recently
tagged for presenting false evidence as medical truth. Sound familiar?
In a hilarious
conflict, moonbat environmentalists reject her campaign because they don’t want
to see increased sales in bottled water – they are promoting tap water because they
hate plastic bottles.
Bottom Line: “People drinking an extra couple of glasses of
water a day are not going to be hurt in any way,” Goldfarb said. “They’re just
going to pee more.”
Perhaps she should rename it the "Let's Pee Campaign"
