"moving" story about a boy who chose a brown-bag lunch over a free school meal -- the moral being that food assistance programs are liberals' ineffective patch for the problem of child poverty, or as Ryan called it, offering a "full stomach and an empty soul."
"Full stomach empty soul? Actually I think that's the slogan for Arby's," Stewart joked.
He then pointed out that not only did the woman Ryan took the story from never meet the boy
mentioned in the anecdote, but the story's original author and the boy
she wrote about regularly make public appearances advocating for free
school lunches.

One of the speeches he highlighted was Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-WI)
