Angry students snap photos of lunches, tell Michelle Obama: ‘You call this a [expletive] lunch?’
The Washington Times ^ | April 7, 2014 | By Cheryl K. Chumley

Students from around the nation have been taking to Twitter and other social media sites to post snapshot photos of their meager lunches — in some cases, a sad-looking sandwich with a carton of milk — and say to the first lady: Thanks a lot, Michelle Obama, for the rations.

One wrote, next to a picture of a hot dog roll that seemed spread with tomato sauce and cheese, on a tray with three small cherry tomatoes and a carton of lower-fat milk: “You call this a [expletive] lunch? @BarackObama @MichelleObama,” The Blaze reported.

And others were just as blunt in expressing disapproval. Next to a picture of a plastic white tray containing a small roll and a messy-looking concoction of what appeared to be mashed potatoes, scrambled hamburger and corn, another wrote: “@MichelleObama so this is the ‘healthy school lunch’ …”

Another picture of a flat sandwich that seemed to be a hamburger on a tray with a cut kiwi half and a packet of ketchup was posted by a parent who attended school lunch with her child and then tweeted: “@MichelleObama my school lunch while eating with my daughter. Only other choice was a scoop of salad. This is sad!”

Let us not forget Subway is doing the same thing...

I guess my wife was not listening to me when I went on a rant about Subway and kids meals (who am I kidding.. she never listens to me) and them tossing in with the first idiot..

8 bucks she paid for subways version of the lunches shown in this thread.

Coupled with another 6 bucks someplace else to actually fill the kid up. who must listen to me when I don’t get fed enough because he said “the appetizer is gone. Where is the meal?”

Screw the dumb asses who voted for this clown! I feel sorry for conservative children that have to put up with this BS, but as for their liberal counterparts they can eat cake!

My kids want me to pack their lunches. For one, they like what I pack them. For another, they have a scant half-hour for lunch. By the time they get to the cafeteria and wait in line for a tray, they're looking at maybe 10 minutes to eat. All this wailing and gnashing of teeth -- sheesh, people, get a grip. The solution is as far as your own fridge or pantry.

Most of the parents on the free lunch program support democrats.

At least they used to.

Of course, the GOP has nothing to say that might pick up some of these pissed off voters support.

as long as the school allows bring your own. many are closing that option down.

Our school tried.. To many of us revolted.

They also are NOT following the “lets move” dot meal mandates.

I’ve heard some deep urban school districts have tried that, but I don’t know that it’s ever actually been “outlawed” anywhere — has it?

It’s Shepherd’s Pie — it *can* be very good, when done properly! What is pictured is clearly not done properly.

I didn’t see any of the students/parents described in this article complaining that they couldn’t bring a sack lunch. There was one kid saying he didn’t like his “f**king lunch” - I’m not up on all the latest lingo... maybe that’s the new way to say “is it ok if I pay my own way and bring something from home?”

I saw some of these tweets. Great stuff.

The thing is, it isn’t orchestrated bull**** like the left.

I fully expect, as these viral tweets make the rounds, that Team BO will suddenly “find” millions of tweets from kids praising the Dear Readers “wife” for the crappy lunches.

But the truth, regardless of leftists’ propaganda, is out there—and these young kids are going to grow up remembering that Obama didn’t give a damn about them. Sweet.

Now if the conservatives can HELP THESE UNHAPPY PEOPLE realize what a danger liberalism is in EVERY aspect of their lives, we might have another growing generation of Reaganesque voters

Why would a school district go along with this? I would think parents could stop it.
