How many thousands of pounds of food will end up in the trash as a result of this. The school district I went to self-funded the lunch program so they got to ignore all the FedGov rules. I wonder if this will still be a option?

Disobedience is NOT an option, you WILL obey all the rules or go to jail.

Does the USDA have the authority (over the states or local school districts) to ban or allow certain foods in school buildings, vending machines, snack bars, etc.? This seems like it must be an overreach. Will this apply also to the teachers’ lounges, or just the items available to students?

This hit a local HS here in MI, and the kids are furious, they are burning up twitter and Mochelle is who they are not happy with.
Free Otis SpunkMeyer, they can't buy the fresh oven cookies as a snack and they are livid.
How does a school store operate and teach kids about inventory etc if all they can sell is stuff they don't want or limited to "healthy" snacks, water and apples?

I think thats great! said Betsy Hunsucker, a Brownsburg mother. I think kids would love fruits and vegetables.
Betsy also believes that she's saving the earth by driving her Prius, reindeer really do know how to fly and that Obamacare is a whopping success.

Betsy, are you that far removed from when you were a kid?

Ice cream is a protein rich dairy product! Also has eggs in it.
Coca Cola should be listed as a vegetable as the sugar comes from various plants and cola from a bush.
Therefore, a coke float is GOOD FOR YOU!
Coconut pie is a grain made crust, corn starch, sugar, eggs,all from vegetables and coconuts!
Poultry-FRIED CHICKEN in vegetable oil!
Cherry pie is a fruit and grain mixture!
I doubt if the nanny state will see it the way I do!

As a father of two teenagers, the only thing that these rules have changed is that now the kids just bring the candy and junk food from home and trade it back and forth. So far the school hasn’t said anything about that, (at least at the high school level) and short of searching every locker daily for junk food contraband, it would probably be ignored even if they did try to ban it.

Or like Bill Cosby when he served chocolate cake for breakfast.
” Eggs! Eggs are in chocolate cake. And milk! Oh, goodie! And wheat! That’s nutrition! “What do you want?” “Can I have some chocolate cake?” “Chocolate cake coming up!” SHEW! Sliced it for her and served it.”

“Fruits and vegetables” is far too broad a category to be meaningful.
Most berries are healthy, bananas and oranges are not.
Broccoli, asparagus, kale, chard, plenty of vegetables are very healthy. But the most widely-eaten “vegetable” is french fries, and potatoes aren’t healthy, whether fried or not. Neither is corn, which is often considered a vegetable.
Meanwhile, there’s no significant difference between eating a slice of whole wheat bread and eating a snickers bar. They have the same glycemic effect.
Of course, they do allow dairy. But my guess is that’s going to be low-fat dairy - fat-free yogurt and the like. Dairy with the healthy fats removed and replaced by sugar and fructose.
There’s a simple problem - healthy foods spoil. If it’s something that can sit in a vending machine for weeks, it isn’t healthy.

It is rather impressive that, in less than 3 seconds, this woman eliminated any possibility that she possesses even average intelligence.
