During her eight years as first lady, nutrition was one of Michelle Obama's main focuses. Michelle lobbied for regulations to public school lunches, which the federal government approved. The regulations included stricter standards on the amount of salt in food, and using whole wheat grains.
After the new standards were in place, the School Nutrition Association, a nonprofit professional organization that represents over 57,000 members that work in school food service, said students were refusing to eat the healthy lunches. This led to higher costs and food waste. Schools could choose to get rid of the program, but then they would be subject to federal subsidy cuts.
Despite the rejection of her school lunch standards, Mrs. Obama has apparently not been deterred in her efforts to get kids to eat healthier.

I don’t watch master chef junior. Chopped Junior is bad enough.
It wasn’t a bad episode. She was only on for a few minutes to intro the mystery box challenge.
These kids amaze me.
Corn is a vegetable so cook popcorn while you watch Mooch make a fool of herself
Her opinions should be more irrelevant now than ever. I wonder if she ever heard of MYOB?
No let’s see the protein and other goodies that AREN”T packed into a bowl of vegies.
I can’t stand these cooking shows and I don’t watch them.
Let’s see what we have in the box: liver, chicken feet, strawberries, Milk of Magnesia, a brillo pad and a hammer. On your mark, get set, ...
Cook fruit? Is Mooche advocating that children eat Bananas or Cherries Jubilee?
I challenge Michelle to go away and stay away! Forever!! with all the fruit & veggies she’ll need.
I do watch Chopped. It’s Chopped Junior with the little kids that is a dead loss.
I watch the show.
First of all, Shane is a great cook but I knew there was no way they were going to let that boy go on this trip.
Ends up being three girl finalists...two black...with the black girl with cop parents who gets picked.
Saw the clip of the WH visit on Youtube. Laughed at the idea of Shane The Train sitting on the bench asking Michelle questions.
Yes, the little cooks are amazing. Indian dude probably makes it to near the end. As does Shane
FUMO
I love Chopped Junior and I love Junior baking thing on Food Network. I’m amazed at how much these kids know.
For those ragging on Moochie..here is a clip showing the dinner at the WH

I don’t see anything wrong with what she did..it’s the kind of thing a First Lady should do.
But yes, I know the lunch program at schools was a disaster
While her punk husband is alone on some tropical island. A weird couple .
Michelle Obama got terrible viewer ratings on FOX TV last night!!! Can anyone tell me just who Michelle Obama is???
>>I don’t watch master chef junior. Chopped Junior is bad enough.<<
Same here — the Jr. versions just don’t do it for me as I find them boring.
I pray we don’t get Top Chef Jr. or Hell’s Kitchen Jr. (”Heck’s Kitchen?”).
Cutthroat Kitchen with kids OTOH would be quite interesting. Think Lord of the Flies.
