Kentucky students to first lady Michelle Obama: Your food ‘tastes like vomit’
The Daily Caller 1 hour ago EducationSchool district
Students in a rural Kentucky county — and their parents — are the latest to join a growing national chorus of scorn for the healthy school lunches touted by first lady Michelle Obama.
“They say it tastes like vomit,” said Harlan County Public Schools board member Myra Mosley at a contentious board meeting last week, reports The Harlan Daily Enterprise.
The growing body of USDA meal regulations implemented by the Department of Agriculture under the “Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010″ has long been a signature issue for the first lady.
Denizens of Harlan County don’t much care, though. Their primary concern at the board meeting was a bevy of complaints that local children are starving at lunch — and for the remainder of the school day — because the food on offer in the cafeteria is crappy and there isn’t nearly enough of it.
“Kids can’t learn when they’re hungry!” parents shouted to the board, according to the Enterprise.
Other gripes involved the new bread, which students don’t want to eat because it’s brown wheat bread, and the new milk, which is skim or one percent fat, not two percent or whole. The cafeteria’s chocolate- and strawberry-flavored milk offerings are now nonfat.
Jack Miniard, the school district’s director of school and community nutrition, was on hand to explain that the federal government now governs both food choices and portion sizes in most American school districts including Harlan County.

Human vomit or wookie vomit?
Save the pork chops for Michelle...
Whats her job title that she gets to make these decisions? WHATS CONGRESS DOING? Useless bunch of parasites more worried about keeping their job than performing it.
Imagine what the vegetables from her sludge-laden garden must taste like.
“Your food ‘tastes like vomit’
The current occupants of the White HuT have that effect.
But of course.
If those lazy ass, get a free lunch parents don’t like what’s being served they can do what I had to do if I wanted a lunch at school........get up a little earlier and make one. PB&J can be very good for you too.
I thought potatoes were vegetables.
You know that Michelle’s children don’t eat the crap foisted off on the school kids.
Every vegetarian I’ve seen and their kids always look anemic, sallow complected.
And your butt looks like 2 bags of wet popcorn. And you husband’s a commie.
Well, we know Catsup is a vegetable...
Says, Jack Miniard, the school district’s director of school and community nutrition.
...and those are your good points.
Am not sure, but they may not be permitted to bring their own lunch that doesn’t meet guidelines.
An entrepreneurial student could make some bucks smuggling in the right kind of contraband. This is how the government makes criminals out of the ordinarily law abiding. “Meet me behind the bleachers at 12:30.”
