[Harvey Updyke Jr🌹]

Cauliflower reminds me of the photographs of genital warts from my pathology textbook.

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

I don't think the government should be in the business of determining which vegetables are superior or should be consumed unless there is a compelling reason for it. I will be voting Nay to this piece of legislation, even though I agree that spinach and broccoli are much better than cauliflower

[Dr. MB]

At first I thought this was gonna be like Wulfric's McDonald's ban but just with Popeye's instead

[tmthforu94]

I honestly really like cauliflower, so will probably vote against this. No need to create division if it isn't needed.

[KoopaDaQuick 🇵🇸]

Motioning for a final vote, I really don't know what to say that hasn't already been said.

[Sestak]

I congratulate my former running mate and longtime colleague on his elevation to the Southern Pontificate.

Tangentially related topic:  the new Popeye's chicken sandwich is phenomenal.

I would give it a 92/100 on Metacritic.

Final vote, 72 hours, yadda yadda.

I don't think the government should be in the business of determining which vegetables are superior or should be consumed unless there is a compelling reason for it. I will be voting Nay to this piece of legislation, even though I agree that spinach and broccoli are much better than cauliflower

Nay for the reason above

Nay

[Harvey Updyke Jr🌹]

Aye, because it's non-binding and cauliflower is disgusting.
