Nick Offerman Calls on the Gov’t to Pass New Farm Bill, Reinstate Woodworking, Kitchens, Sewing in Schools

EXCERPT:

OFFERMAN: "I would pay a lot of attention to our agriculture. I’m going to answer you earnestly. I would urge our government to pass a new farm bill that pays attention to our farmers who are providing all the food that we eat, and who we’ve come to ignore in this industrial time."

(Applause)

KIMMEL: "All right. That's good."

OFFERMAN: "Yeah, it’s not super sexy TV to talk about soil health, but I would also reinstate woodworking and kitchens and sewing in our schools and teach our kids — "

KIMMEL: "Sewing?"

OFFERMAN: " — how to make things with their hands."

KIMMEL: "Do they not have wood shop and metal shop in school anymore?"

OFFERMAN: "Not — most schools have done away with all of their shops and their home economics, like learning to cook, I mean, all of those things I loved across the board. I loved learning to make casserole, and I loved learning to build a table. All of those things, you need. If you want to serve casserole, you need a table."
