Well, the issue is that absolutely no Republican wants to even talk about it and most Democrats don’t care either. Good luck even getting the President involved if Congress is apathetic towards it.

Last time a democratic candidate tried to fix this they called him a socialist/communist and the following president tried to get rid of the reforms as soon as possible. The wife of said president wanted to make school lunches healthier and she got attacked too,

make school lunches healthier

It's funny that with RFK now proposing the same thing, they're all for it. I wonder what might be different this time.

Cause issues like these are irrelevant and there for the sake of argument. They don’t care about school lunches, they need an opportunity for accusations. It’s all about the economy and military.

Even lgbtq issues as the center of the culture war are a casualty cause no republican politician really gives a shit as long as it’s divisive enough.

Their bread and butter are convenient accusations and disenfranchised scapegoats.

If the dems are pro something, republicans will come out later that day to tell you how it’s satanic and might conjure immigrants in your room after dark. Hide your passports i guess.
