Inappropriate, ma'. Am. Mr. Sheedy, I'm not sure that I agree with you dictating what people should be eating. I just don't. I think it's inappropriate. We're trying to get whole food or whole milk back into schools, and the reason it's not there is because it was removed by a previous administration. So I'm not a fan of the government dictating people to people what they can and cannot eat. They say that we. We already provide microwavable foods to folks. (01:38–01:47)
