GOP Congressman Wants Junk Food Back In Schools: ‘Kids Are Starving’
In a recent speech, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) assailed new federal regulations that improve the nutritional standards of meals served in schools. He called the new standards, which come from the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, rationing: “This is the nanny state personified,” the Republican from Kiron said during a noon speech to about 20 people at the Webster County Republican Party headquarters.

He said parents have approached him and have said things like “My kids are starving in school. My kids are being rationed on calories.”
