New York Rep. Elise Stefanik took some daring steps to fight against inflation is proposing a federal law to require all schools to offer chocolate or other flavored milk in addition to regular milk.
So, all the issues Republicans claimed they would fight for were simply talking points used to win the election. Well done. We kind of knew that already. This is going to be the most useless Congress ever.
And she's doing this to take a shot at Mayor Eric Adams, who thinks the dairy product is bad for children. I'm getting Sarah Palin's Big Gulp vibes from this.
This is just sad.
Via the New York Post:
"Let our New York students drink chocolate milk!" a defiant Stefanik, the No. 4 House Republican, told The Post.
"Our dairy farmers in Upstate New York and the North Country work hard to produce nutritious milk for our communities," she said.
"Any effort of Mayor Adams to ban chocolate milk and replace it with vegan juice is an absolute non-starter and will be opposed by parents, families, kids and New Yorkers."
The tabloid notes that Stefanik's legislation — the "Protecting School Milk Choices Act of 2023" — is co-sponsored by Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-Pa.).
How do farmers benefit from chocolate milk? Cows don't produce chocolate milk. I can't believe we're even discussing this. She must be bursting with pride. Look how much she's doing for this country. How about this? Do your job, Elise.
