YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

“If Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller gets his way, the state’s 10-year ban on deep fryers and soda machines in public schools will disappear like $10 elastic waist jeans from a Walmart clearance bin.

In a letter to the editor of the Houston Chronicle, Miller stood by his 2014 campaign proposal because government tyranny might be lurking around any salad bar.

“I believe each school district – not the state or federal government – should decide what foods are offered to students. It’s about giving back local control and allowing each school district to make the best decision for their community.

It’s simple. If a school district doesn’t agree with any of these changes, then the district doesn’t have to implement them. That’s the beauty here. It’s not about French fries; it’s about freedom. I will always support decision-making at the local level.”
