I suspect you may not have read the entire article as carefully as you normally would do. House members *pay* for their own lunches. This isn't a public expense. Furthermore, (from the article itself): "House officials explained that the fresher and more varied foods were indeed more expensive but that they had tried to preserve low-cost alternatives such as pizza, sandwiches and prepared salads, which remain around the same price." So any Democrat or Republican House members who think that a 1000 calorie slice of pepperoni, fat and cheese and a 700 calorie glass of fizzing sugar water (combo priced at $4.50) is a better idea at lunch time than the seasonal veggie plate and a serving of fresh-squeezed juice (at $5.75) are still in business. I'm not sure how offering greater opportunity for personal choice represents a "loss of touch" with America. To me, a loss of touch with America would be: "On the menu today is split pea soup. Your choices are small, medium, or large portions of split pea soup. You will eat it. You will like it. Any complaints about the split pea soup will be heard in the 'free speech zone', eight blocks from the cafeteria." :-) Well, at least Pelosi can claim she got *something* on her agenda accomplished. Eisboch The food in the house dining room was better when Tip was Speaker. Tip did it well, but I thought Newt was a tad bit better. |
