She links to this article, regarding the rising cost of school lunches, and claims that the increase is "another victim or enviros' 'good intentions'". However, there is nothing in the article to prove or even imply that the rising cost of school lunches is due to environmental concerns of any kind, as Victoria accuses in her headline.
Moreover, "In the last 11 years, the Bend-La
Pine School District has only raised lunch prices once." Hmm ... if we
make it twice in 12 years, that doesn't sound so bad, actually.
Indeed, she has taken it upon herself to assign the blame not to price-gouging oil companies or to the administration that has done little to control the rising price of a barrel of oil. No, of course not. Those to blame are those who don't want domestic drilling.
Kids can't eat cheaply because those damn environmentalists don't want to keep digging for oil in new places.
I like cheese. Cheese comes from cows. Cows create methane when they fart. Farting cows live on farms that raise herds of other farting cows because of consumer demand (such as my own) for cheese. However, cow farts contribute to global warming. Therefore, my enjoyment of cheese is the cause of global warming.
Sound ridiculous? That's her kind of logic. Take one piece of information and bring it to the furthest, most impossibly ridiculous conclusion.
Hooray!
