Lunch Lady Forbidden from Making Food Taste Good

This is in Sweden, but it could just as well be in Oregon.

Annika Eriksson, a lunch lady at a school in Falun, was told that her cooking is just too good. 
Pupils at the school have become accustomed to feasting on newly baked bread and an assortment of 15 vegetables at lunchtime, but now the good times are over.

The municipality has ordered Eriksson to bring it down a notch since other schools do not receive the same calibre of food - and that is "unfair".

"It has been claimed that we have been spoiled and that it's about time we do as everyone else," Eriksson said. 

She insisted, however, that her creative cooking has not added to the municipality's expenses. 

Obama Promised that the World Would Love Us Again - Anti-U.S. Attacks in Sweden

Barack Obama promised to restore America's image abroad. It's been a month and not one foreigner has sent me a candy-gram. From BBC News:

Three supermarkets have been destroyed and a fourth damaged in central Sweden in what police say might have been a series of anti-American arson attacks.

Swedish Radio reports that Global Intifada had recently distributed leaflets in Sodertalje encouraging the public to firebomb shops selling American products.

The US embassy in Stockholm has been in contact with the police and has advised people to exercise "caution while shopping and be attentive to suspicious behaviour", Swedish media report.

I reckon Obama's gonna have to give another one of them speeches on tolerance.
