WHILE STEVE KING WAS
SPEAKING TO ALLISON CAMMARATA ON
CNN, THE ISSUE OF THE BORDER
WALL AND HOW WE ARE GOING TO PAY
FOR IT CAME UP, AND HE BELIEVES
THAT WE SHOULD TAKE MONEY AWAY
FROM FOOD STAMPS, AND ALSO FROM
PLANNED PARENTHOOD, TO HELP FUND
THE STUPID BORDER WALL.
WELL, HE ALSO DECIDED TO PICK
ON MICHELLE OBAMA, AND HER
INITIATIVE, WHEN THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION WAS IN OFFICE.
SHE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THAT SCHOOL LUNCHES WERE
HEALTHIER.
LET'S HAVE BETTER STANDARDS FOR
SCHOOL LUNCHES, SO WE CAN
TACKLE THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC.
WELL, HERE'S HIS REACTION AND
RESPONSE TO ALL OF THAT, IN
RESPONSE TO THE ñ IN THE CONTEXT
OF THE BORDER WALL DISCUSSION.
WE BUILD A PROGRAM TO SOLVE THE
PROBLEM OF MALNUTRITION IN
AMERICA, AND NOW WE HAVE A
PROBLEM OF EB CITY ñ OF OBESITY.
AND WHEN YOU MATCH UP THE ECB
CARD WITH WHAT THE SCALES
SAY ON SOME FOLKS, I THINK IT'S
WORTH LOOKING AT.
MICHELLE OBAMA LOOKED AT IT, I
THINK REPUBLICANS SHOULD
LOOK AT IT TO.
HE IS SO IGNORANT, HE KNOWS
NOTHING ABOUT WHY THE
OBESITY PROBLEM IS AN EPIDEMIC.
IT IS NOT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE
GETTING FAT OFF FOOD STAMPS.
THE MORE POOR YOU ARE, THE LESS
LIKELY YOU HAVE ACCESS OR
ABILITY TO AFFORD HEALTHIER
FOODS, THAT I'VE EASILY
KEEP YOU HEALTHIER AND KEEP A
HEALTHIER BODY WEIGHT.
IT IS JUST ñ LOOK, THE REASON
WHY A LOT OF PEOPLE LIVING IN
POVERTY ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE
OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE IS BECAUSE
THEY END UP SPENDING WHAT LITTLE
MONEY THEY HAVE ON CHEAP, QUICK
FOODS.
CHEAP FAST FOOD, CHEAP JUNK
FOOD.
WHEN YOU CAN BARELY SURVIVE, AND
YOU NEED FOOD STAMPS TO BE UP TO
EAT, YOU ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT
ORGANIC PRODUCE.
YEAH, YOU'RE NOT BUYING GRASS
FED BEEF.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WHOLE
FOODS, OKAY?
THAT'S NOT WHAT'S HAPPENING.
THE AVERAGE INCOME OF HOUSEHOLD
ON FOOD STANDS IS LESS THAN
10,000 A YEAR.
THESE GUYS ARE ALWAYS TALKING
ABOUT, THEY HAVE CELL PHONES.
WHICH YOU MADE THAT UP, YOU HAVE
NO IDEA WHAT KIND OF PHONES
THEY HAVE ARE NOT.
I HEARD SOMEONE SAY, THEY HAVE
REFRIGERATORS.
A PARENT WITHOUT A CRIME, TO
HAVE A REFRIGERATOR.
THE REALITY IS, THEY ARE POOR!
THEY ARE MAKING LESS THAN
$10,000
A YEAR, AND IRONICALLY, YES,
WHEN YOU EAT THOSE CHEAP
PROCESSED FOODS, YOU DO GAIN
WEIGHT.
NOW, YOU WANT TO KNOW THE REAL
REASON WHY?
IT'S BECAUSE OF THE HIGH
FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, THAT WE PUT
IN ALL OUR FOOD.
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE CORN HAS A HUGE SUBSIDY.
YOU DON'T PUSHES FOR THAT
SUBSIDY?
REPRESENTATIVE FROM IOWA, LIKE
STEVE KING.
THAT IS 20 CAPITALISM, AND WHAT
MAKES US FAR MORE OBESE
THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY,
BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MUCH HIGH
FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP IN ALL OUR
FOOD.
BUT IRONICALLY, THAT'S BECAUSE
OF STEVE KING.
