FULL TITLE: School 'bribes' kids with bikes and iPods to persuade them eat Michelle Obama's healthy lunches

There's only one thing to do when the kids won't eat their vegetables: bribe them.

At least that's what some Colorado schools are doing now that Michelle Obama's Healthy and Hunger Free Kids Act has scared students away from their school lunch programs, according to KUSA.

Jefferson County Public Schools now has a 'Hungry to Win' raffle program, EagNews reports. Each time a student buys a lunch, they are entered in the raffle for a chance to win prizes such as jump ropes, kites, iTunes gift cards, and even bicycles and iPods.

I’m thinking about the “zoo keepers” with bulbous heads in the very first pilot star trek episode.

How about we “bribe” them with actual food?

They could buy a jump rope at the dollar store for less than a Moo meal.

Obviously, it’s too much to ask for them to find some way to make veggies which kids would WANT to eat?

Hmmm. We had veggies and a salad every night and fresh fruit and carrots or celery every day along with a good sandwich. My mother made our lunches while we ate breakfast.

Is the school running this as a non-profit organization's raffle, or are they running an illegal gambling operation?

I would be shocked, shocked if any law enforcement seriously looked into this.

Seems pretty desperate & pathetic when school lunches are so bad that kids have to be bribed to eat them.
