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.
New plan to force kids to eat up, page 2:
Is it a lunch program or a diet program?
She has no right , authority or the education to tell the schools what to do. She’s just a control freak
Obama traitor’s wife is a modern day political disaster of modern day school kids.
Brainless.
B.S. Is Michelle’s Fat kids eating the same kind of school lunches? I doubt it. This is another step to taking away our freedom. Making another law telling us what we can and cannot do for our own state or county or children. Screw her/him
He and his*
Who is she to tell me what my children can and can not eat She is a total idiot
the kids will not eat and these kids need to eat to learn and survive.
Since when does the federal government mandate Michelle Obama’s approved lunches for public schools? We have bigger problems to deal with, like ISIS knocking
