The U.S. Department of Agricultures Food and Nutrition Service issued a final rule Monday that will affect more than 3 million kids in daycare centers across the country. The regulation will only allow daycare centers to serve juice once a day, will ban fried foods, and encourages centers to not add honey to a childs yogurt.
The regulation is a result of the 2010 law aimed at school lunches, a top priority of Mrs. Obamas Lets Move anti-obesity initiative. The government hopes the new rule will help children build healthy habits.
This final rule updates the meal pattern requirements for the Child and Adult Care Food Program to better align them with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, as required by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, the final rule states. This rule requires centers and day care homes participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program to serve more whole grains and a greater variety of vegetables and fruit, and reduces the amount of added sugars and solid fats in meals.
The law required the USDA to promote health and wellness in child care settings via guidance and technical assistance that focuses on nutrition, physical activity, and limiting electronic media use, according to the regulation.
The final rule will apply to participating organizations in USDAs Child and Adult Care Food Program, which reimburses centers for meals and snacks. Over 3.3 million children and 120,000 adults participate in the program every day.

Same as it ever was: Fat-ass government telling the plebians what they can and can’t eat. Stay classy Moose.
Friggin WOOKIE is another turd that needs to be flushed!
Bet Moo gets juice any time she wants and in a larger glass than a tiny little 4 oz container.
On the other hand, there are too many children being shuffled off to day care when they should be being raised by their parents or families.
I would use my steel toe boots. :0)
“Mooch just admitted her favorite foods she inhales are pizza and french fries.”
Very simple explanation: “You do as I say, NOT as I do”.
Please LORD, deliver us from these two want-a-be dictators. We have suffered mightily for the past 7+ years, have mercy on us.
The government has no authority whatsoever to tell a daycare what food it can and cannot serve its clients. An unelected wookie has even less authority.
Why is Michelle Obama making lunch rules to begin with?
The food guidelines were bought and paid for by lobbyists for agriculture companies. The grains and fruits are killing people with diabetes. A high protein and vegetable diet is the best, not whole grains and fruits, they should be regarded as treats or desserts. Why do they think the black folk are so fat? Not from eating green beans and steak. From french fried potatoes, baked potatoes, rice, bread, and noodles.
Adult nutrition rules for growing children. Stupidity written large. Growing children need large calorie intake coupled with plenty of exercise.
When my oldest grandson was ages six to eight he would eat only chicken nuggets, fried chicken legs or hot dogs with mayo for dinner. Also always had to have mashed potatoes with butter, broccoli with cheese sauce and chocolate cookies with vanilla ice cream and a banana for desert. That was it. Real boring but easy to do. Lunch was brown bag, a pb&j sandwich, bag of chips and a green apple. We all survived and now he eats everything.
Michelle needs to keep her nose out. Of course, we didn’t use government money for our food or anything else either.
“Why do you think there are still private schools? Intelligent families have to go somewhere.”

The public schools in this area are far superior to the private schools. Each of my kids graduated high school with around 21 college credit hours, and went on to excellent undergraduate institutions.
Holy cow, that looks awesome!!!!
Home schooled two. One lawyer and one architect. It’s about choices. Granted, private law schools are very expensive.
My grandson lives on them and is skinny as a rail. I feed him all he can eat.
You ate easily baited.
” The government hopes the new rule will help children build healthy habits.
Not if you have to half starve them to death before they will eat what tastes nasty to them. Children’s taste buds are much more sensitive than an adult’s, but Ms. Moose size Lardass is too stupid to know that.
May she reap what she’s sowing on those children, 7 fold EACH.
You say lots of stupid things.
Amen to that.
My daughter has a doctorate in neuroscience and my son is a computer scientist.
Oh, did you want to compare d!ck sizes?
