Ted Cruz Slams FLOTUS: First Lady Heidi Will Totally Bring French Fries Back To Public School Lunches

The Daily Mail reports:

Ted Cruz is targeting a new constituency in the final days of his Iowa campaign: Happy Meal lovers.”Let me say something to the school-aged kids here,” he said during a rally tonight in Des Moines. “If Heidi Cruz becomes the next first lady, French fries are coming back to the cafeteria.” Cruz rolled out the line as he made one last pass through the state as he concluded is bid to become Iowa’s pick to represent the GOP in the presidential election.

To cheers he told his Des Moines audience tonight, “Maybe it’s just me, but I kind of think cardboard belongs in the trays, and not in the meals.” Michelle Obama has made childhood obesity a focus of her time as first lady and championed an motivational exercise program in addition to the new food standards for schools and low-income Americans receiving government assistance.

As numerous outlets have noted, french fries have never been banned from public school lunches. Nutritional guidelines put out by the Obama administration did call for lower sodium totals in lunches, but the GOP-dominated House promptly gutted most of those rules.
