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 $210 million by the Federal government to serve these meals, it is truly astonishing that the program is over budget.
Additionally, over 1.4 million school children have stopped eating school lunches since the program was started. But Michelle and the government have a plan. It is called force.
New plan to force kids to eat up, page 2:
Shovel it in, moochie; it’s what you do so well!
Sorry, but obama’s wife has no authority to force anyone to do anything, and getting the Feds involved in going above and beyond the law. These people appeaer to assume they can get a way with whatever they please and no one will say anything…. not all of us are sheep following the herd without checking out laws and facts.
The feds need to stay out of education. Those powers are granted to the states by our constitution.
So sorry, the First Lady is not allowed in the school system until she stops pigging out at McDonald’s and looses her own fat from eating the list of foods from her “chosen menu for kids”. Until then, sit down, shut up and leave us alone.
Vote trump pence
Screw the$#%&!@*and the feds !!!!!
Screw her! She neither writes nor makes any directives for anybody. She’s only a second rate citizen, and not even good at that!
Not gone soon enough
Dictator in drag
