"Let me say something to the school-aged kids here," Cruz stated. "If Heidi Cruz becomes the next first lady, French fries are coming back to the cafeteria." The remark was made by the presidential candidate during his final pass-through Iowa before the all-important electoral event.
Heidi Cruz is, of course, Ted Cruz's wife. And in case you thought first ladies were in charge of school lunches, Cruz's comment is clearly a dig at Michelle Obama, who is known for her interest in and efforts to address the problem of childhood obesity.
The current first lady supports the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, a law that allows the US Department of Agriculture to set standards for food sold in schools. The legislation, enacted in 2010, also gave access to healthy lunches to more than 100,000 children who did not have such meals previously. But Mrs. Obama's mandate to improve school lunches has taken plenty of abuse on social media, well before Cruz's latest jab. Just search for the hashtag #ThanksMichelleObama if you want to see some nasty school lunches, offered up as a rebuke to her attempt to make American kids healthier.
But Cruz is cutting right to the chase. He wants schoolchildren to have the right to eat crap and he wants them to know it. The crowd in Des Moines reportedly cheered when they heard his declaration.

The only crap being presented as food is the torrent of liberal PC garbage being fronted by hacks like you, Alex.
Can we call them French Canadian Conservative Fries?
In other words, Cruz understands the fedgov has NO BUSINESS dictating school lunch menus.
So was most of the United States. What’s your point?
Oh please not another First Lady who will be a dictator and tell parents how to feed their children. That isn’t a government function although unbeknownst to Moochele.
"Let me say something to the school-aged kids here," Cruz stated. "If Heidi Cruz becomes the next first lady, French fries are coming back to the cafeteria."Nice! This ia a bitchslap across the face of Moochelle, and among parents it will revive the "freedom fries" memories from post-9/11 -- Jeb being the second bird with this one stone.
