ExiledInIllinois Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 http://www.marketplace.org/topics/wealth-poverty/potatoes-fight-get-wic-nutrition-list I was listening on the radio (gasp: NPR) as I was backing my wife's car into the driveway (she's a damn librarian not a bus driver) and I caught this gem (link above). Thoughts? Besides wiping out the whole WIC program by all you uncompassionate conservatives. ;-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 But Marion Nestle [...] argues [potatoes] shouldn’t be on the WIC-approved list because WIC participants are eating plenty of potatoes already—especially the kind that wind up as french fries and potato chips. Potatoes shouldn't be available, because they're available in less nutritious form? That is the most asinine reasoning I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
