Massachusetts is making bold strides to end the use of Fluffernutter in schools:

The escalating war on junk food in schools has targeted a new enemy -- that gooey, sugary, and often irresistible sandwich spread known to children everywhere as Fluff.

Outraged that his son was served peanut butter and Marshmallow Fluff sandwiches at a Cambridge elementary school, state Senator Jarrett T. Barrios , a Democrat, said he will offer an amendment to a junk-food bill this week that would severely limit the serving of marshmallow spreads in school lunch programs statewide.

"A Fluff sandwich as the main course of a nutritious lunch just doesn't fly in 2006," Barrios said. "It seems a little silly to have an amendment on Fluff, but it's called for by the silliness of schools offering this as a healthy alternative in the first place."

The measure is sure to rile fans of the Fluffernutter, the Fluff-and-peanut butter sandwich that has long been a sticky favorite of New England children including Barrios's son, Nathaniel, a third-grader at King Open School in Cambridge. Even some nutritionists say it makes little sense to single out Marshmallow Fluff, which was concocted by a Massachusetts man before World War I and is still made by a family-owned business in Lynn.

Actually, until today, I'd never heard of fluffernutter.  I subsisted on a steady diet of peanut butter and jelly myself as a child.  I never thought of adding Fluff to peanut butter in a sandwich.  My question is... if this Senator is so "outraged" that his child was served something he deemed inappropriate, why doesn't he pack a nutritious lunch for his son that he can take to school?  Via The Agitator who adds:

"Fluffernutter" has gotta' be in the top ten of "words that sound dirty, but really aren't."

Sounds like something that happens when a fluffer in a porn movie doesn't stop in time.
