Tuesday, October 7, 1975. Lunch.

Congress overrode President Ford's veto of the Federal school lunch program by an overwhelming majority.

Let's look at a couple of things not on the lunch menu.




I'll be frank, I'm quite indifferent about bologna.

Having said that, when I was a kid, we always had "cold cuts" in the fridge, in case you wanted to make a sandwich, which I rarely did.  I preferred thin sliced ham, which Safeway had, and would eat that quite a bit, often just eat it.  No sandwich.

I've discussed government assisted school lunch here before, but the interesting thing here is the overwhelming popularity for it.  I dare say, if it came up today, it'd be voted down.
