Using tough-boi slogans to get funding needed to prevent de-funding flavored milk to coerce literal children into helping fund their own education instead of just giving the children free food.

Stop charging families for the garbage we sell in public school cafeteria and you can offer them all the free chocolate milk you want. I imagine these soulless assholes would vehemently argue against all spices, flavors, and overall nutrition if the cafeterias didn't represent the "free market."

He's clearly just pandering to his constituents, who are apparently literal children.

We need to go get a Lacadaemonian from history and bring them here so that they can die from the cringe of quoting μολὼν λαβέ in the context of a children's beverage.

Ideally they would die on the floor of the senate, like a demonstrative snowball.

Eh they’d prob just stand there and shake their head while brushing their hair.

Feels like this is on the same level as those that allow sugar loaded ketchup to be considered a vegetable for school food programs. It's quite shocking the differences between the US and European food programs, and what is classified as food...

In middle school, girls took his milk money every day

This seems like it's just one of those laws that states pass as a means of educating child one a field trip on how the legislature works. The more common ones are things like declaring the official state cookie or reptile.

It's absurd that they would try to remove it. Chocolate milk with school lunch is one of the most important aspects of growing up.

Because obviously there couldn't be any more ethical way to ensure children get calcium than abusing cows in farms. /s

Yeah, we should grind their bones for meal instead.

You don’t need any animal products.

[-] SuiXi3D@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Need, no, but our bodies have literally evolved to more easily get the nutrients we require from animals.

We’re just animals ourselves. We can’t pretend we’re not omnivores. So I’ll be having my chicken salad with real chicken, thanks.
