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.

How about we just stop paying taxes until the gov. Gets these people out of our Whitehouse.

Look she cant get the food in her mouth fast enough. Moochele Ovomit, the gross$#%&!@*that somehow has the power to make our kids eat slop.
Communism

Make her eat school lunches for a year.
When does any country permit the wife of their President have threats from their spouse to their countrymen?
When did Michelle get to use punishments of any kind to American schools that would impose punishment of any kind? No other President’s wives had this kind of power!
Parents choose what they want their children to eat, not anyone else has that control except in Communist countries!
If Michelle wants schools to get healthy children, reintroduce a better gym session which has been down graded in most schools and even eliminated. If there is anything kids need today it is exercise!
Nasty monkey
Michelle has NO authority whatsoever, she is nothing more than a BULLY.
