Congressman: Fight Poverty With ‘A Salad Bar in Every Single School’ (Tim Ryan, D-OH)
Cybercast News Service ^ | May 8, 2015 | 2:16 PM EDT | Eric Scheiner

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) says a bill will be introduced in the House that will “put a salad bar in every single school in the United States of America.”

Speaking at the Religious Action Center’s “Consultation on Conscience” event last month, Ryan told the Washington D.C. audience about efforts that will help “begin to end poverty.” […]

“It starts to paint the picture of the kind of system that we want,” Ryan continued. “Now, we have a lot of school districts in Ohio and across the country, 70, 80, 90 percent of the kids in the school will be Medicaid—free and reduced lunch. We’ll sit there and we’ll wait and we’ll say, ‘well, when you get sick, Medicaid program will take you in; when you get diabetes, we’ll take you in’—as we should.”

We have spent $22 Trillion on the War on Poverty and he’s suggesting that salad bars are the answer? Yeah, that should do it.

Please excuse me while I bang my head against a wall.

Good thought.

“We heard from the street that if we want peace we need to spread a little green around”

“So we are putting in free salad bars!”

If you have 2 fish and give the average dem voter 1 of your fish they will demand you give them 2 fish the next day or they will kill you, take the 2 fish, and burn down a city.

99.9% of school kids won’t touch a salad bar. To them it’s rabbit food.

And they don't respect the sneeze guards, either.

My God man, Don’t you remember Patrick Henry’s famous words, “Give me the salad bar or give me the Early Bird Special!”?

‘A Salad Bar in Every Single School’

Get ready for massive outbreaks of e.coli, cyclospora, intestinal parasites, salmonella, campylobacter, shigella, staphylococcus...

the public schools are already dishing out billions of tons of free food

which is NOT their purpose to begin with

(if a school wants to include a salad bar, there’s nothing stopping it....... except that many schools with salad bars drop them because the kids can view salad bars as just convenient ammunition store-houses for projectile missile war games)

To be really correct, they would put a “Starbucks” (that also sells rolling papers) at each school.
