LOS ANGELES – When Los Angeles school lunch bureaucrats realized their new menu of sushi and broccoli and beef with brown rice was roundly rejected by students last year, their attitude was try, try again.
black bean mountainThis school year, they’ll be offering what they think are more tantalizing dishes such as taco salad and chicken and waffles.
But the L.A. Daily News reports it will be potato and chive waffles with no sugar added, to stay in compliance with new federal lunch regulations championed by First Lady Michelle Obama.
Students will also be dining on a “black bean mountain” along with a cucumber and tomato salad and a “warm pear and raisin compote.”
Perhaps the bureaucrats’ strategy is to starve the kids into slimming down. Do they really think this fare will go over any better?
Food Services chief David Binkle called the waffle “savory” and believes it will be a “successful product.”
The school district estimates students threw away more than 8 million meals last year, according to the paper.
It’s just the latest example of a string of problems created by the federal overhaul of school lunches.
A report from the Government Accountability Office cited increased food waste, loss of school revenue due to decreased sales and increased administrative costs among the headaches created by the new regulations.
Nanny State PING!
Sounds disgusting. Bacon wrapped pork chop with a small green salad sounds good. It was good! ;9
ugh
I would threaten the School Board.
does anyone think a school should be serving raw fish to kids?
I think it’s only right they hire chef Ramsey and all the NY chefs to cook for them. sarc
This is repulsive. No kid wants to eat this crap. How dare Queen Michelle cause children to pass gas all day in the classroom!
I’m just going to cut to the chase here and say that compulsory education is unconstitutional, and outside the bounds of alotted government responsibilities. This goes far beyond Sasquatch’s nauseating menu.
DICTATORSHIP PING. Queen O is probably exempt from these Menus, just like 0bamacare. That’s all for the ‘little people’.
Liberal foodies claim hunger is a huge problem for American kids. So, the solution is to serve them food they won’t eat and will throw away?

That’s ugly
Black bean mountain? Is that what it looks like on the way out?
As the old saying goes....
“That’s not food. That’s what FOOD eats”
Black bean mountain - did they think about the farts in the afternoon?
Hint to the kids from a former CO... You know why they serve better food than this in jail? Because if they served this, the inmates would riot.
That ‘bean mountain’ steaming pile looks like food eaten.
PB&J or cheese sandwich
Apple or banana
Milk or water
Throw in a cookie or something a coupla times a week.
98% of kids in this country ages 5-17 will eat these. It really isn’t that complicated, unless you need to justify the jobs of the over-edumakated idjuts who come up with these menus.
Another unintended consequence as a result of a liberalist idea.
The idea looked so good on paper.
