And so the party that once accused republicans of “wanting” to starve children by messing with the school lunches is actually implementing a child-starvation plan by messing with the school lunches. They’re even doing this just 2 months before a presidential election.
And, again the commie MSM is letting them get away with it.

When Michelle Obama’s butt no longer needs its own zip code, I will then listen to her ideas about diet.

Even if she were thin as a rail....she is not an elected official.

Republican First Ladies always find a good cause to represent - but you don’t see them trying to seize power that normally belongs to elected representatives.

Hillary tried to seize the health care industry - and here we see Michelle acting like an empress....usurping the authority of parents, school boards, and school staffs.
If the people don’t want to play by her rules, their school suffers a crippling reduction in aid.

She doesn’t have the authority to do this! My head is exploding.

I swear I thought this was an onion article. I think my daughter will be taking her lunch from now on. I’m not going to subject her to this communist crap. If it’s a further issue, I’ll pull her out of school and home school her.

A recent study showed that overweight teens actually eat LESS than their normal weight peers. There is more to weight than just calories. Activity levels and genetics are very important contributors to weight. These so-called experts are depriving kids of what they need, and ironically, setting them up for later weight gain by putting them on restricted feeding.

What I really don’t understand is why parents put up with all this nonsense. Why do people still send their kids to government schools?

and people have forgotten about the whole BMI garbage going on too.

They are collecting data on the BMI’s of the kids and the school nurses are supposed to be gathering the info.

GUARANTEED: by the name "Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010" these bastards KNEW they were going to starve kids.

Evil is, as evil does. And this is evil.

It looks like they are trying to convert the children to vegetarianism. Hitler would be happy if he were around today since he practiced it.

My friend’s sister is a lunch lady at the local high school, and she was ready to tar and feather Moochelle.

The first thing they did was take out the salad bar.
The second thing they did was take out the potato bar.
They are no longer allowed to use salt and pepper.... only approved by the government spices..... which hadn’t arrived by the start of school. So they were serving naked ugly veggies.
The kids can get a prepackaged salad if they want..... with 1 (count them.... 1) extra veggie. So, they can have lettuce and carrots, or lettuce and cucumber, or lettuce with tomato.... not lettuce with all three. And the cooks are absolutely forbidden to add cheese to the salad. The kids beg them, and they cannot. So the kids are taking their prepackaged salads and dumping them in the trash at the end of the service line. They aren’t even pretending they will eat them.

Tell me how this is an improvement.

When the legislation was signed into law in 2010, it received bipartisan support

If true, it figures...

Just wait until your refrigerator tells them what is in it and what you just fixed for dinner.

Isn't funny that the Bills names always are the opposite of what is intended or maybe not unintended.

“Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010”

The kids go hungry because the food sucks sounds unhealthy to me.

What better place to post this gem that I’ve watched at least a half dozen times:

my son loves MREs

You might want to research what those are actually made off - and they are not meant for long term use. Ask a soldier that's been on a long deployment.

My 12 year old son entered Jr. High this year at 5'9" tall and weighing 180 lbs. The boy eats like a Hobbit, every hour on the hour is good for him. When we do go out to eat, we visit buffets because he can pack away 5 full plates of food, still have room for dessert, and is hungry again in an hour. He's built like my husband; tall, broad, and strapping with muscle.

850 calories for him is a snack.

I dare some food Nazi to come between him and his home-made lunch. Fighting the "establishment" is a sharply honed talent of mine.

“This ‘brown bag it’ resistance is really taking off...”

The “brown bag” being Moochelle?

The federal government pays for the school lunch program and is perfectly entitled to attach whatever regulations it desires. What is at issue here is the eternal school lunch war between people who want to feed children what they should eat vs. what they will eat. There is nothing new about this, except that Michelle has taken this on as her pet project, so we now have a Cafeteria Lady in residence at the White House.

The pendulum will swing back. You will know this is happening when the reports start filtering in about the significantly increased waste in school cafeterias. One of my hopes for a Romney Administration is that he will bring peanut butter back to the schools; I suppose that's ultimately a tort reform issue, but it's goal worthy of a great presidency.

I remember my teenage years, when I could eat all I wanted and stay at 140 pounds.
