USDA Bans Deep Fryers In Employee Cafeterias

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is cutting down on fried foods with a new plan to eliminate deep fryers from the federal department's cafeterias.

The employee dining overhaul is due to the USDA's desire to meet the standards established by the Dietary Guidelines for Americas, which were developed collaboratively by the USDA and the Department of Health and Human Services.

"Like many employers, USDA is taking important steps to improve our cafeteria to enhance the quality and healthfulness of food available for our employees to purchase," says USDA Departmental Management Assistant Secretary Gregory Parham in a news release.

Deep fried? I would say that the main reason is that some of them has no self control.
