Walberg Not A Fan Of The New Congressional Cafeteria Offerings

By Josh Kraushaar

(The Politico)  Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.) is one of the first members to publicly react to the new menu in the Congressional cafeteria, as first reported by Politico, and he isn’t a fan of the new offerings.

In an interview with WJR radio in Detroit with host Frank Beckman today, Walberg said the new organic coffee, which replaced Starbucks, “tasted absolutely chemical this morning.”

Here’s the full transcript of the interview:

Walberg: “It is terrible, Frank, and in fact this morning I was grousing about the taste of my double espresso. Normally down in the Longworth building, there’s a Starbucks there and I get my double espresso and it tasted absolutely chemical this morning.

“Well I got to our Conference, and they were talking about some people who have had bad reactions, actual physical reaction to the new paper cups. Well I had the paper cup in my hand and I said well I wonder if that’s it.

“Then I get back to my office, I find out it is now no longer Starbucks coffee, it is some organically-grown coffee that’s supposed to be green. Well, maybe that’s the problem.”
