Give ‘em back recesses with monkey bars and dodge-ball and the rest will take care of itself.

I remember our lunch room from the 50s through 1965. We were very fortunate that our meals were generally very good. I suspect they would not have met or even been close to meeting modern standards but they were nutritious and good to eat.

The one thing which really stands out was their rolls. You could smell the aroma when you entered the cafeteria and they tasted almost as good as they smelled.

We did sometimes have hot dogs or sloppy joes and it seemed like succotash was common.

What gives USDA the power?

Does it really have this power?

Who is going to enforce it’s edicts?

Is it time for the USDA to go bye-bye?

Next, they’ll be checking what the kids bring from home in their lunchboxes.

I get the "no trans fats" and the whole grain breads. But growing kids need more than 350 calories. Solution....bring back recess with physical activity and real phys ed at least three times a week.

The kids at a school last year that had lousy lunches wanted to know why they couldn't just eat a Rally's $2 meal plus the school's milk. Good question.

The USDA has no constitutional authority over education or school cafeterias. This is nuts if the states don’t tell them to shove it.

How did we get to the point that unelected bureaucrats can diktate what our kids eat?

One pleasant thing I remember was several times a year we would get orange juice from the state. It was the best OJ I have ever tasted and they would let you drink all you wanted.

I suppose it was surplus as this was Florida but I am not certain where it came from.

Well I could write pages and pages on how the government strips people of their human rights and presumes they are acting under corporate law, but no one wants to hear about that.

So never mind.

“brown bag it!”

My nephew’s inner-city district DOES NOT ALLOW Brown bags in the elementary.

they say it’s “unfair” that some kids bring things the other students may want.

Like food that doesn’t taste like cardboard..
