There has been much uproar about the Multnomah County Health Department’s attempted shut-down of seven-year-old Julie Murphy’s lemonade stand during Last Thursday, last Thursday [as covered in yesterday's Good Morning News]. Everyone seems appropriately up in arms, and the Health Department has even apologized.
But as a food critic, I don’t think I’m remiss in saying the most important point in this story has been completely missed. The bigger outrage here can be summed up in two words (one of which is hyphenated for effect): Kool-Aid Lemonade.
I would like to offer little Miss Murphy my professional opinion, and a few suggestions, after the Jump!
