Random D.C. Event of the Day - Potato Vote

Potato Showdown! The random D.C. event of the day is that the Senate may vote to ensure that potatoes will not have a limited serving amount in school cafeterias.

In other words, the Department of Agriculture will likely soon impose maximum limits on the frequency of serving vegetables in school lunch programs, i.e. schools will not be able to serve french fries every day and the Senate may vote on an amendment today that will say, 'Agriculture Dept., you can not limit potato numbers for our children!"

Potato people are upset. See this article for an overview. I run into the potato lobbyists sometimes when I am visiting the Idaho Senators' offices. There are lobbyists for everything.
