Finally: Democratic Candidate Recognizes BreakfastJuly 24, 2007
At Monday's CNN/YouTube Democratic Presidential Debate,
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson made a passing reference to breakfast while answering a question about healthcare reform. "(A) healthy breakfast for every child," he proclaimed.
While Richardson's comment pertained specifically to breakfast in our nation's schools, it does indicate that he may have an understanding of the importance breakfast to our nation as a whole.
Our campaign is very excited about Richardson's admission. Mr Breakfast said in a statement earlier today, "Good for him. I kind of like that guy. He looks like a big friendly guy you'd meet in a bowling alley."
Governor Richardson fell short of mentioning the proven benefits of breakfast (including improved student test scores, lower obesity rates, lower risk for tooth decay and a tendency for breakfast eaters to smoke less and drink less alcohol than those who skip breakfast). However, he did take an important step in bringing this important issue to the level of national debate.
This campaign has stated that it would endorse any and all candidates who provide a position on the importance of breakfast. In doing so, this site would also discontinue any kidding or jiving directed at said candidate(s). Unfortunately, Bill Richardson's fleeting mention of breakfast does not count as a "position on breakfast". We look forward to a public statement from Governor Richardson implying that breakfast is important to all Americans.
In the meantime, please learn more about Bill Richardson from our articles,
"Bill Richardson Whacks Photographer With Baseball" and
"Bill Richardson Looks Like Dwarf Actor".
There is no indication yet whether Candidate Richardson will endorse the Vote For Breakfast Campaign when he eventually drops out the the race.
