Those of you who do not live in this fine Commonwealth may not have heard about the Fluffernutter debate raging under the gold dome of the State House, so I thought I'd share.
A state rep from the People's Republic of Cambridge, outraged that his third grader had been served a Fluffernutter for lunch, tried to ban Marshmallow Fluff from school lunches. Fluff has been made by the same Massachusetts company in Lynn, Lynn, City of Sin, since 1920. A state rep from Reveah countered the Cambridge guy with a bill naming the Fluffernutter the official state sandwich.
This all happened the same week that Whole Foods Market decided not to sell lobsters anymore, because of the heartless way that lobsters are treated. As if the dead cow stocking the Whole Foods butchery cases had such a nice life. Chef Jasper White pointed out that 10,000 families in New England and Canada make a living off lobstering. "Lobsters," he told the Globe, "are for dinner."
