“They don’t meet the standards,” Principal Paul Browning states. “We’re struggling with it.”
The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act has many kids hungry and unsatisfied with their school lunches, often taking to social media to post pictures of the very undesirable food choices they are left with.
While there is nothing wrong with wanting kids to eat healthier meals, the problem is that it’s a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Active kids need more calories than others and those that are perhaps in athletics are not getting the meals they need. Also, you don’t make people healthier just by cutting calories.
Hunger pains aside, there’s another consequence to the Chick-fil-A ban – all the profits funded field trips for the school’s special education students.
“The Chick-fil-A profits went directly to the field trips,” the principal told the newspaper. “We’ve got to raise some money, but we will figure something out.”
Maybe they could get the math students to figure out how many carrot sticks they’ll have to sell to send the youngsters to Six Flags.
Ever since Mrs. Obama named herself as America’s Lunch Lady, students across the fruited plain have been in full-scale rebellion. The government mandated smaller portions have been met with great resistance – especially in farming communities.
Since 2010, participation in the National School Lunch Program declined by 1.2 million students. That’s a 3.7 percent drop. Red-blooded American kids are rising up and declaring, “Just Say No to Kumquats.”
School leaders are bracing for the outrage when returning students learn that there won’t be any more bake sales. No more cupcakes. No more Cheese Doodles. Just bottled water and fat-free kale chips – all thanks to Mrs. Obama’s meddling.
Remember that the next time you see Mrs. Obama scarfing down and burrito chili cheese fries – while telling the rest of us to eat our Brussels sprouts.
Just some food for thought.
I thought Congress was required to pass an “Act”. Now Michelle does it at will? Sad.
Gee I thought that it was a picture from the planet of the Apes. I guess that is how she eats in the White House. I rather eat Ham and Eggs toasted roll and a gl$#%&!@* of orange juice.
This is why most kids just brings loads of junk food from home.. I am one of those students!
