Michelle Obama is not a nutritionist. She is not a doctor. And she is not elected. Yet she is pushing the way school children eat, and imposing rules that her own children do not have to adhere to through the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act which was passed in 2010. And it is the Obama way to change behavior by force without input from those most affected.
The idea of improving school lunches was a fine idea, and there were surely a raft of consultants who weighed in on the program development. But as is the case with so many government attempts to butt in where it is not wanted, the program has been a dismal failure.
The new food choices are abysmal and exceedingly meager. So bad, in fact, that the internet has been flooded with pictures taken by school children of food that is generally unidentifiable, unappetizing, and plain old inedible.
This by kids who often depend for their nutritional needs to be met by meals served at school. Sodium, sugar, white grains, and condiments are limited or prohibited. Food that school children like to eat has essentially disappeared.
Millions of school provided meals are ending up in the trash can, and a black market for salt, sugar, and other items has developed at many schools. And incredibly, the cost for serving these bland, unappetizing and unwanted meals is costing more than expected. Given the fact that a state like Alabama was given over $210 million by the Federal government to serve these meals, it is truly astonishing that the program is over budget.
Additionally, over 1.4 million school children have stopped eating school lunches since the program was started. But Michelle and the government have a plan. It is called force.

That makes no sense, we all know who pays the fines the Taxpayers
Buzz off. You have no business telling the schools what to do with their school lunches. Feed the c**p to your own kids.
Why can’t that glutton eat this?? She is communistic forcing children to eat or OVOMIT will fine the schools! I was raised very poor! We always had enough to eat and even when we were in middle school and had to buy our we were delighted to eat cafeteria food! Even if it wasn’t the best it was better than going hungry!
Lipstick on a pig.
Gruel!
Gruel, a slice of dead sardine and a hard flat bun! I’m sure MOOCHELLE would love that! Or feed it to her girls! Even a dog wouldn’t eat that!
When Michelle Obama produces a degree in dietary culinary. …. then I think the children should eat what she suggests….until then her kids need to eat the same c**p she shoveling down the rest of the public school children….. remember…. what’s good for the goose is good for the gander remember!
F..k his directive, he has no say in school meals.
that fat$#%&!@*is telling people what to eat
Discusting excuse of a human being
