Nancy Pelosi has overhauled the menu at the Congress Cafeteria. No more meat loaf, everyone is going to eat Organic after all if it is too good for the average American then it is exactly what the House needs.
Apparently Congress is too good to eat Mac 'n' Cheese, Ramen Noodles, Hot Dogs, and other amenities the average American is forced to ingest for survival. Nancy Pelosi in an initiative to "Green the Capitol" has overhauled the House cafeteria to rid it of such ingredients as high fructose corn syrup, and replacing them with more "organic" goods. Hormone free meats and milk, free range chicken and eggs, and other foods that would make a poor American salivate at the mere health benefits are now all that is available to our Representatives.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports:
The vast House food service operation that feeds the belly of the beast - more than 2.5 million meals a year for members, staff, tourists, lobbyists, lawyers, journalists and other highly regarded species that inhabit the Capitol - is switching to locally grown, organic, seasonal and generally healthy food. It will be served in compostable sugar cane and corn starch containers instead of petroleum-based plastics. Even the knives and forks will be biodegradable.
The Senate has retained it sanity and is sticking to the greasy fatty foods Americans eat.
Normally it would be more beneficial to praise the initiative by Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein to buy from local farms, and encourage healthy eat. However, as most of America faces an obesity epidemic with little to no money to buy Organics and the hypocrisy of the latest farm bill passed by the House, the feelings of praise and satisfaction do not come to mind.
Americans are relying on the cheapest to afford foods and the fastest to cook foods during their busy and hectic day. They live on salaries that are far below that of the normal politician, and unlike politicians like Nancy Pelosi, if they want to put flowers in their offices they have to pay for it themselves.
What average American doesn't have a story about surviving on Ramen Noodles, Hot Dogs, and lots of Potatoes and Gravy just to be full at the end of the day? Yet people like Pelosi have no thought when it comes to the average American, and while she eats her freshly smoke salmon I will be eating peanut butter and jelly.
Tim Ryan recently attempted to experience what we poor folk must survive off of, and he could not properly function on the paltry amount of non nourishing food. He was committed to giving more money to the food stamp program in the Farm Bill introduced in December, but not a peep.
On a side note:
Aides confirmed a big increase in chocolate consumption since Pelosi assumed the speakership.
