The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 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 child’s yogurt.
The regulation is a result of the 2010 law aimed at school lunches, a top priority of Mrs. Obama’s Let’s 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 USDA’s 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.

What’s wrong with Frosted Flakes?
I have it on the best authority that they’re GRRRREAT!
I put hot sauce on Frosted Flakes as a child- Hillary Chitlins
Look you take the Fed’s $ and you will do as ordered!!!
Michelle needs to look in the mirror at her own fat ass instead of blabbing about what to feed kids. The cold cereal isn’t all that healthy-fresh cooked oatmeal is better-and why would anyone put honey in yogurt?
The last thing any kid or adult needs if more grains and starch-empty carbs don’t have much nutrition-just empty carbs to make you fat, unhealthy and craving more, more, more-give those kids some protein to build muscles and minds-like maybe some meat...
"The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service issued a final rule Monday that will affect more than 3 million kids in daycare centers across the country."
As a reminder to patriots, the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to decide policy for any aspect of INTRAstate schools, including school lunch menus.
And let’s quit picking on FLOTUS and the USDA. Corrupt Congress is letting USDA get away with stealing legislative branch powers, power that the states have never given to Congress in this case, USDA actually exercising stolen 10th Amendment-protected state legislative powers to do these things.
Remember in November !
2 voting rules for conservative voters in November:
1) Don’t vote for leftist scum.
2) Don’t vote for leftist scum.
It’s like living in a banana republic where el presidente’s wife issues orders and edicts to the peasants.
The next thing Michelle will ban is mashed potatoes.
As for Michelle, for breakfast it’s Maine lobster dipped in butter and hot popovers slathered in butter and honey. We know you’re type: Have a veil of food PC to hide a decadent addiction for gluttony.
I don’t recall voting for she/he/it and giving her the power to tell parents what foods their children can put in their bodies even in daycare. This has my niece and nephew tossing their school lunch away, they say you can’t eat the damn stuff and the same goes for their class mates
When I went to grade and high school the food was great. The grade school still cooked and baked on the old cast iron fire stoves and the ladies that cooked there really knew how. Until people pull their kids out of these warehouses/indoctrination centers nothing will change.
3) Don’t forget rules 1) and 2).
