Junk Food For Kids: It’s not about French fries; it’s about freedom.”

Bonus Quote of the Day
— Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, in a letter to the Houston Chronicle.
April 24, 2015

“I have proposed a new rule to allow school districts to install deep fat fryers and sell beverages like diet soda. I believe each school district – not the state or federal government – should decide what foods are offered to students… If a school district doesn’t agree with any of these changes, then the district doesn’t have to implement them. That’s the beauty here."
