Gee, now Reagan is a racist because he didn't veto a funding bill? This is getting ridiculous. BTW as a spending bill this would have originated in the House of Representatives, wouldn't it?
Instead of making fruits and vegetables more interesting...they decided to find ways around the requirement that also saved tax [read GOP] monies. So very Republican!
How do you know the USDA's panel of nutritionists were Republicans? Hmm, you can't know that, so you just made it up. How very Democratic!
Did you ever hear of scurvy and ricketts?
I have and I know essentially no one in modern America has them. The biggest dietary problem for the American poor is obesity.
They are lucky to get any food at all...plus who wants to pay more taxes so they can good fruits and vegetables......I have my eye on a new Mercedes.
Who would be able to afford a Mercedes on the savings from this? No one. Just more demagoguery. How very Democratic!
Yeah, one where you are trying to save money and screw the kids.
The only guy in Washington I know that screwed kids was Gerry Studds, Democratic statesman from the People's Republic of Massachusetts.
In the 90s, the Clinton administration got little grief when it proposed counting salsa as a vegetable, as properly made salsa has more nutritional heft than sugar-laden ketchup.
Of course not....do you know what's in good salsa? Onions, tomatoes, cilantro/Italian parsley, jalapenos, garlic, salt and pepper and no sugar. Salsa is a creative way to get kids to eat their vegetables........most kids like salsa. Please note the difference between a GOP administration and a Dem one.
Sorry, I don't believe there's that much nutritionally between the two things. Both are mostly tomato based. Other ingredients like onions, etc. are in some tomatoes and are gonna be minor elements in either product. The salsa served in schools isn't gonna be home-made salsa, its gonna be commerical commodity. As for the sugar in ketchup, big deal, how much ketchup are people going to eat.
The big difference is for guys like you - Democrat = good, Republican = bad. |
