A Republican state senator in Minnesota said Tuesday he was voting against a bill to provide free breakfast and lunch for school students in part because he'd never encountered anyone in the state who was hungry.

“I have yet to meet a person in Minnesota that is hungry,” Sen. Steve Drazkowski said in remarks on the floor of the State Capitol in St. Paul before voting on the legislation. "I have yet to meet a person in Minnesota that says they don’t have access to enough food to eat.”

"Now, I should say that hunger is a relative term," added Drazkowski, 58. "I had a cereal bar for breakfast. I guess I'm hungry now."

He had a "cereal bar" for breakfast because "granola bars" are pinko commie liberal poison.

Always amusing how the OP finds such stories, especially as non-American. (I'm serious, it's not a critique)

So he has never seen or met a homeless person?
Every now and then, I encounter someone who asks for money (and they look look they are in need of some assistance). They also ask if I would be willing to buy them a hamburger, when I am near or at a fast-food store.
I'm sure there are such people everywhere, not just here in Cali.

Or maybe it’s legitimately one of those cereal bars.
Yknow the ones with Cinnamon Toast Crunch or front loops? Those are kinda meh tbh, not worth the price imo.
