Arrr, the WIC food aid fer lasses and wee ones be facin' a wee shortage o' gold doubloons!
2024-01-10
Avast, ye scurvy dogs! The Agriculture Department be soundin' the alarm, foretellin' a dire fate for countless lasses carryin' wee ones and those who've just popped 'em out. If our fine Congress don't dig deeper in their coffers, them hungry bellies shall be left empty, mark me words!
Now, ye might be wonderin' why we be talkin' about nutrition assistance like it's a buried treasure. Well, let me tell ye, me hearties, this be no ordinary matter. The lasses we be talkin' about are pregnant and postpartum, and their scallywags need proper nourishment to grow up strong and healthy. But if the Congress doesn't cough up more doubloons, these fine ladies and their little ones might be left high and dry.
Arrr, it be a sad sight indeed to see those who be most in need bein' denied the nourishment they deserve. The Agriculture Department be sendin' a clear message to the landlubbers in Congress - increase the funding or face the wrath of a thousand angry pirates!
But let's not be gettin' too serious now, me hearties. We be pirates, after all! So let's imagine for a moment what ol' Blackbeard himself might be sayin' if he were here. "Avast, ye scurvy politicians! Be ye not aware that denyin' proper nutrition to these fine ladies and their young 'uns be a crime against humanity? If ye don't act now, I'll make ye walk the plank into a sea of hungry sharks!"
So there ye have it, me mateys. The message be crystal clear. Congress must increase the funding, lest they face the fury of a pirate crew with rum-soaked anger in their hearts. Let's hope those landlubbers see the light and do what be right for the sake of these brave lasses and their wee scoundrels.
