Congressional Republicans: Pizza is a vegetable

[MikeH]

It might legitimately have 9 servings of veggies, but that shouldn't be the only measure. It also has way too much carbs and fat.

Eating an apple is good, eating an apple made into apple pie with pastry, cream and sugar is less good.

[The Mad Monk]

Why not? I mean pizza and french fries are health food according to P.O.S. Republicans. A pizza with the works has three servings of veggies according to them so why not just feed them pizza three meals a day? I mean that's nine servings of veggies (according to the lying retards)! Maybe we could do a coup and have them eat pizza topped with french fries for four servings of veggies per meal!

You are really selling local governments short here. Local parents make up local school boards, and they are doing what they can.

America-hater.

[MikeH]

Sorry. Less healthy, much more good.

They can't do jack ****. When the budget for local school lunches is $0.35 per student per meal they're going to buy the cheapest dog **** money can buy and you know it.

I still don't see why this is a case for the feds to get involved. We may like to ignore it, but we do have this thing called federalism...

[Dinner]

Gee, do you think since the Feds are paying for school lunches they should have standards about how that money is spent? Like maybe enacting healthier guidelines instead of allowing them to continue calling pizza and french fries health food?

[Hauldren Collider]

They shouldn't be paying for school lunches, either.

[Dinner]

Let them eat cake!

From what I understand you are a smart guy. But on this issue you are totally stupid. At this point you are saying **** the children. I hate to keep going back to my personal history but...there were days when the only meal I got was at school. So once again **** you HC. Furthermore, your stance on school lunches, medicaid/medicare IMHO would make the U.S. a worse place to live. You see, as a child/adult I have benefited from every social program I that I could. This has allowed me to go from a kid that grew up in the projects too a College grad, Retired Naval Officer, current Police Officer that does not have to depend on these same social programs but guess what. Hell yeah, I want the government to help other kids get out of the same bad situation I was in.

[MikeH]

He's consistent. He consistently wants to f*ck the poor, whatever age they are.

[Hauldren Collider]

I only said the feds shouldn't be paying for school lunches. Not that we shouldn't make them free for poor kids. I totally support that.

[MikeH]

You socialist.

[Elok]

Soooo...the state governments should pay for them, and make them free for poor kids? Or should the state government charge most students full price, and make them free for poor kids?

[Hauldren Collider]

The latter.
