Reagan declared ketchup a vegetable after he cut school lunches to Make America Great

The ketchup as a vegetable controversy stemmed from proposed regulations of school lunches by the USDA's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS)

in 1981

Mate, your hot take is older than my dad.

On September 25, 1981, President Reagan withdrew the original regulations proposed by the Food and Nutrition Service due in part to the sharp criticism from the opposition

Wow, this hot take has gone cold. Send it back.

Looks at list of terrible shit Reagan did... moves down a few thousand lines, gets to Section II: Good shit

Withdrew ketchup as vegetable

Kinda similar to my Nixon list with free dialysis

Dude, just because I point out one thing that Reagan reneged doesn't make me a Reagan supporter.

Oh not implying that. Just making a stupid comment for the yuks. I seriously learned something. All bad Presidents do at least one thing good. Except Jackson.

Reagan said insane stuff like this all the time. He thought that America could survive a nuclear war, and that we could put the Starship Enterprise in orbit over the homeland to shoot down Soviet missiles. Basically he was Trump with better hair and smarter handlers.

Never vote GOP. Never
