By making herself queen of the school lunchroom, Michelle Obama has managed to screw things up almost as badly as Obamacare has screwed up health insurance, albeit on a smaller scale. The Twitter hashtag #thanksmichelleobama accompanying pictures of inedible school cafeteria slop is evidence that a generation of nanny state-hating youngsters will eventually enter the voting booth, just as many of their parents are turning on Democrats over Obamacare. And like Obamacare devastates family finances with high deductibles and cost increases for many, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act that Mrs. Obama pushed so hard is devastating the finances of school lunch programs.
Paul Bedard reports in the Washington Examiner:
More than half of the nation’s school cafeteria workers expect to lose money selling low-salt, low-fat meals pushed by first lady Michelle Obama, a “serious” problem that threatens the programs, according to a survey of food providers.
The School Nutrition Association, which is planning to demand changes to the meal requirements to make the food more attractive to students, found that 50.35 percent of cafeteria officials surveyed expect that serving the food will “exceed revenue” next year. (snip)
As a result, the group plans to ask the administration to let schools ease up on the low-salt and fruit and vegetable demands. In fact, they plan to seek a recess from being required to put fruit and veggies on meal trays, according to a draft proposal.
Michelle Obama is the very image of an out-of-touch do-gooder, heedlessly creating problems in her efforts to do something “nice.”
By the way, her own children are not subject to the act she pushed on the rest of us. Take a look at the menu at the ultra-expensive Sidwell Friends School attended by Sasha and Malia,

“Let Them Eat Cake”!!!!!

Back then the surrender monkeys couldn’t afford bread and cake aka pastries was cheaper. If she invoked THAT on school kids they would saying...’bring it on’.
Arugula.....Grown as an edible herb in the Mediterranean area since Roman times, it was mentioned by various classical authors as an aphrodisiac,[12][13] most famously in a poem long ascribed to Virgil, Moretum, which contains the line: "et veneris revocans eruca morantuem" ("the rocket excites the sexual desire of drowsy people").[14] Some writers assert that for this reason during the Middle Ages it was forbidden to grow rocket in monasteries.[15] It was listed, however, in a decree by Charlemagne of 802 as one of the pot herbs suitable for growing in gardens.[16] Gillian Reilly, author of the Oxford Companion to Italian Food, states that because of its reputation as a sexual stimulant, it was "prudently mixed with lettuce, which was the opposite" (i.e., calming or even soporific).
I guess that's why the dims are always fixated on Arugula.
Kinda like Medicaid and a lot of other programs.
The Feds offer candy at first. Later, they change to the whip.

Stop sending money to DC, stop being addicted to Federal handouts.
The school districts must share in the blame for this situation.
The surplus butter and sauerkraut served when I was in high school have led to Michelle’s Meddling.
Cake in those days was not the 3-Layer soft sweet icing crusted tasty treat it is today. Cake was more like Cornbread with rat poop, bugs, stones, fingernails, hair, boogers and who knows what else.

The cornbread is just the binder for the good stuff.
