House Speaker Paul Ryan is “fairly hands-on when it comes to his kids’ diet,” says Roll Call, in excerpting a People magazine interview with the Wisconsin Republican and 2012 vice-presidential nominee. The article was devoted to fatherhood and included the condition that Ryan would not be asked about presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
“Those sour worms they [Ryan’s children] like? He finds them disgusting,” said Roll Call. Ryan told People, “I’m probably pretty overbearing about that. I’m not a sugar guy and my general rule for diet at home is, ‘If it wasn’t a food 100 years ago, we don’t buy it or eat it.'” Roll Call said Ryan uses a pellet-fired meat smoker on Sundays at home in Janesville to prepare weekly meals for his family.
