Republicans Opposed to kids eating healthy foods...too costly. Would I kid you?

In one of the most bizarre excuses ever given by adults; eat lousy!

The House Republicans must either think they’re invisible, and will never lose another voter ID-less election, or they’re damn stupid. I’m hoping it’s the latter. No one in their right mind would propose the following…I mean really!

Fox News: House Republicans are pushing back against Obama administration efforts to promote healthier lunches, saying the Agriculture Department should rewrite rules it issued in January meant to make school meals healthier. They say the new rules are too costly.

Republicans are against healthier meals for kids in school? Can they get away with saying anything they want now? Apparently…

The bill, approved by the House Appropriations Committee late Tuesday, also questions a government proposal to curb marketing of unhealthy foods to children and urges the Food and Drug Administration to limit rules requiring calorie counts be posted on menus.

Republicans are FOR marketing unhealthy foods? Can they get away with saying that too?

Let them eat cake...?


You won’t believe this crazy non sequitur used to complain about limiting unhealthy ads:

Chris Crawford, a spokesman for the chairman of the Appropriations Committee's agriculture subcommittee, Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga. … deploring the fact that kids can watch shows that depict sex and drugs on MTV, but "you cannot see an advertisement for Tony the Tiger during the commercial break."

Just how bad is it to get “schools to cut sodium in subsidized meals by more than half, use more whole grains and serve low-fat milk … limit kids to only one cup of starchy vegetables a week."

But the Republican House is all about priorities and a possible tax cut for the wealth from 35 percent to 25 percent, while lesser human beings…

The spending bill would cut … 10 percent from the Women, Infants and Children program that feeds and educates mothers and their children.
