Congressman: Fight Poverty With ‘A Salad Bar in Every Single School’ (Tim Ryan, D-OH)

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.”

This country needs no less than a political enema.

99.9% of school kids won’t touch a salad bar.

To them it’s rabbit food.

The idea is quite brilliant: fighting poverty by making the green freely available.

???? All this is really just a game these people are playing to marginalize, obfuscate, divert or complicate the real agenda they have. A death of this country by 1000 cuts (actually more than that).

How about giving the Ponderosa chain a contract for something like this? Hopefully that would include the bottomless soft drink as well as their steak, lol.

If you give a man a fish,

he will be hungry in a day.

if you give him a pole,

Show him a good fishing hole

He’ll be bringing you fish.

“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.””

Here we go again

Dang it...

I would think with I could see “Delicious nutritious kids salad bar” in the Constitution, but for some reason I can’t find it.

Once again, this shows that I have an older version of the Constitution.

Mine doesn’t list salad bars, raisin control, ketchup speed control, smelly body products, and others as one of the specific authorities given to the federal government.

Can someone point me to where I can download a latest version of the Constitution?

One that specifically authorizes (enumerates) federal government authority over such things as:
- the amount of water in my toilet bowl
- the type of light bulbs I use
- body stench removal products
- how fast ketchup should flow out of the bottle
- delicious nutritious kids salad bar
- and also raisin control.

True, and besides which, ravenous growing children need massive amounts of protein and calories-- neither of which are much found in rabbit food. But this is what you get when a safe 'rat district elects an imbecile to Congress.

Yet another attempt by the federal government to intrude on what should be a local issue.
