Confiscated Donuts in Panama City (video)

[Smiling JOe]

This morning, that same radio show brought in the Director of the Bay Co Health Dept for interviews and questions on the air. It seems that he has let his temper flair at a few meetings and several employees are concerned with his behavior and policies. I'm not sure how the donut thing started, but this morning, it sounded as though it started at a staff meeting when someone brought in donuts. They were passing the donuts around the table, and when they were handed to the Director, he dropped the box on the floor and told the staff if they wanted to eat the donuts, they could get eat them off the floor. He said that was not one of his better moments. lol. He has apparently also put signs out in front of the Health Dept noting that Fat is Cheap, for which some people didn't seem to care. The Director sounds like he has had several not-so-good moments and it sounds like some of his staff who were calling in, dislike him greatly. They were given their names, and one even said that he was quitting if he didn't get fired first, for calling in and giving his $.02.

Were you the one who called in with the funny voice imitating the Donut Nazi? There was one.

I have to say that Bernie will help bring it out in the open...

I think that's taking it to the extreme. Doughnuts don't impair your judgement. I don't think you'll ever see a headline like this:

Local Cop blows .12 on pastry bag.

On the same note I don't want a 500lb. nurse telling me what constitutes "unhealthy" living.

I agree. The beer/donut relationship was just to point out that certain foods can be prohibited by your employer.

Many of the people I've come across at the health dept's are very unhealthy and taking a lecture from one of them on what to eat and what to feed your kids is almost a laughing matter. I had a friend who went in once (for WIC I believe) and she was underweight (always had been). The woman seriously told her she should eat chocolate pudding!

I dunno, the last chocolate pudding I had was pretty good. That could have been due to the alcohol content, though...
