Comrade Jan Schakowsky Says "I couldn't afford the mayo"

Reuters reports on Comrade Schakowsky:

For lunch on Tuesday, Janice Schakowsky spread flakes of tuna on two slices of white bread. Jim McGovern ate a bowl of home-cooked lentils and Jo Ann Emerson's salad was mostly shredded iceberg lettuce.

"I couldn't afford the mayo," said Schakowsky, so she did not make tuna salad. Schakowsky, McGovern and Emerson -- all members of the U.S. House of Representatives -- are on what could be called the Food Stamp diet, spending $1 on food per meal, for a week.

Their spell on "the Food Stamp Challenge" will end on Monday, just before the House Agriculture Committee is expected to begin overhauling U.S. farm law. Food stamps and other public nutrition programs account for two-thirds of the spending governed by the "farm bills" written every few years.

Comrade Schakowsky wants to push mayo on poor people.No word yet on whether mayo was served at the May 5,2000 Chicago Democratic Socialists of America Debs Dinner honoring Comrade Schakowsky.
