I say again, "Hypocrites!"

Texas State Representative Carol Alvarado wants to cut down on childhood obesity by allowing only 1% or soy milk, unsweetened water, zero-calorie drinks and 100% vegetable or fruit juices to be sold in public middle and high school lunchrooms. "We are spending millions in combating childhood obesity," she said. Rep. Susan King agrees with her. "We should stop the doublespeak with the health of our children," she said.

So where is the legislation to limit food stamps to healthy, low calorie foods? Until that is introduced, I call Hypocrites!
