EPA Head Caught Eating Chalk

In a briefing by division chiefs, EPA head Scott Pruitt was seen eating chalk from a tray beneath a conference room blackboard. "We had turned away for a moment," said Morris Feeney, EPA Water Quality Division Chief, "and when we looked back, Administrator Pruitt was eating a piece of chalk." Looking chagrined, Pruitt instructed staff to continue with the briefing and asked an assistant to bring him some Fruit Roll-Ups from his desk drawer.
