The federal government is taking steps to fine schools that do not comply with first lady Michelle Obama’s school lunch rules. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service issued a proposed rule Monday to codify parts of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, which was championed by Mrs. Obama. The regulation would punish schools and state departments with fines for “egregious or persistent disregard” for the lunch rules that imposed sodium and calorie limits and banned white grains. A West Virginia preschool teacher was threatened with fines for violating the rules by rewarding her students with candy for good

Fine the schools? The schools don’t care as it’s not skin off their backs. All they have to do is raise property tax. It’s you and me who the feds are fining. It’s long past time for We the People to take our country back.
Idiots...The feds need to get out of the schools!
This bs affect even private schools.
We quit buying it... sending sack lunches instead.
They gonna fine me too???
If old Wide-A will eat the same as the kids, I’m good with it. Bettin’ that ain’t gonna happen, tho.
The thing about that photo is not just the size issue, but the poise. Look at the differences in postures.
Sorry, but no law was passed. moochelle acted illegally and stupidly.
Then Obama has another 20 just to manage his online accounts.
That is too bad. Well, if everyone brought their own lunch and ate a decent breakfast at home that would fix it. I wonder though if not one child bought a school lunch, would they still cook ( I use that term loosely) it and then just place it directly in the trash ( which is pretty much what happens anyway)
Not his fault he’s big boned. Compare upper arm size.
LOL, nice.
Paging, Sir Mixalot, she gots big butts.
I wonder if I could sue our school district for my daughter’s anorexia? She just got out of treatment and so far so good. But what a terrible thing that is. (It is the most deadly mental health issue). It started when she took her required health and nutrition class. Harmless at first - “I just want to eat healthy”.
The recovery center she went to is trying to get the notice out there how bad these classes can be to some kids, and getting the parents aware, and try to determine what kids might be at risk from taking the classes.
Patriots, with all due respect to FLOTUS, noting that FLOTUS was indoctrinated at Harvard Law School as were several state sovereignty-ignoring actvist Supreme Court justices, that school evidently not teaching the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood, please consider the following.
As mentioned in related threads, note that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via tha Constitution, the specific power to decide policy for any aspect of INTRAstate public schools, including dictating what is on school lunch menus.
No, but they dangle money in front of the school and attach mandates to the funding. We get what we deserve.
Note that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, basically any issue which Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Further note that taxing and spend for intrastate schools is not a Section 8-limited power. So when intrastate schools accept vote-winning federal funding, they are arguably recovering state revenues which should never have left the states, such revenues essentially “legally” stolen from the states by mean of unconstitutional federal taxes.
