Political Quotes

“I thank Mr. Tiffany for the amendment. I want, with him, to speak on behalf of parents and children, not on behalf of politicians and so-called scientists. This is what we know. We shouldn't even be having this conversation because we didn't enact this Federal Government to ban things from us. We want to make the decisions. Children want to make the decisions. Parents want to make the decisions. We know what is best for us. We don't need them to tell us. We will figure it out ourselves. Over the course of a couple hundred years, we have done pretty well here without scientists and politicians telling us and our children what is good or what is bad. Let me tell you what is good and what is bad. What is bad is school lunches today. Do you know how I know? Because kids don't want to eat them. All the nutrition they are getting? They are not getting it because they don't want them. The only time they are going to eat them is if it is the only thing they have to eat, and you are limiting that now. It is absurd. Mr. Chair, I thank the gentleman from Wisconsin for offering the amendment. I hope that we win this amendment, and kids and parents can finally make choices for themselves.”
