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.
Wait until Moo takes the suggestion of the UN and introduces high protein insects into their diet. Can imagine it now: tarantula banana rice pudding, live worm Ethiopian spaghetti, cow dung bug poppers, crushed slug slime pie, garden salad with green tomato worm, etc.
Gag a maggot.
Oh, Michelle, the potato waffles might be reasonable for some kids, but chives, what are you trying to do, accelerate them into adult gourmets? It would be wonderful if we got back to raising kids not trying to re-engineer them.
These islamists would have kids eating cardboard.
Well done!
Good work, curling up with a Purple Drank right now, gonna set it to music.
Actually, it doesn’t look like a good idea, even on paper.
Ooops! I forgot. That's racist now, isn't it?
Good one! Best laugh of the day.
bttt
What idiot actually thought Sushi would go over at a high school?
raw fish?
from the back of a truck, sitting in the cafeteria all day?
oh boy
Nothing good can from that
Fourth period will be like the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles.
Not bad but you ruined one of my favorite child hood songs!
I hope the kids bring their own lunches and refuse to eat her ghetto crap!
Actually, that was a shuck-and-chive salad with a green bean mountain. And for dessert, watermelon.
Gag a maggot off a gut wagon.
LOL, that was my first thought, too. Afternoon classes would be a real experience.
How long did it take to make the picture just so?
Complete with perfectly fluffed black bean mountain.
Betcha a dollar that in reality it's scooped with a disher, and the so-called "tomatoes" are under-ripe.
Probably closer to jailhouse meatloaf than anything in that picture.
And someone remind me, when has school lunch EVER been served on fine china? And on a tablecloth to boot.
