Quite a bizarre story if you ask me. Not bizarre it happens, but bizarre it is news.
Someone saw fit to tell this to a media outlet. A media outlet then thought it was worthy of running as a story. And as a note, this isn't coming from a left-wing media outlet. Market Watch is fairly down the middle if not right leaning.
The first thought was this is a story about a power play 'here, you can have whatever you want, and you'll eat what I tell you...' but that is even a stretch.
What do we suppose the story behind the story is on this? What is the actual message?
