How about poorly cooked and tasteless children’s meals? They’ll lose weight to reduce obesity and they’ll never again complain about missing school lunches.

If I got that, I would tell the lunch lady "hey, this is cold. Can you nuke it?"

We had the same things.

The only thing on your list I would eat in school was the fried chicken.

Taters came out of a box and since my Mom made the real ones lumps and all I preferred that texture and taste.

I can’t think of anything else at school I ate.

BTW, not a food snob.

Except for Top Ramen, I pretty much dont like anything that comes out of a box.

Here is the rest of the interview...

Michelle, her mouth full of lobster - her third lobster at the lunch:

"How about we not let kids completely guide everything?" she said, swallowing and reaching for a third roll slathered in butter, "How about we stop asking kids how they feel about their food? Kids, my kids included - like I do - if they could eat pizza and french fries every day with ice cream on top and a soda, they would think they were happy, until they got sick.

"Ordinary people need to listen to me. Not because I have any expertise or credentials. I don't! But I love to stuff myself with food. If we let the kids eat all the good stuff, there won't be enough for adults."

SEIU, UNITE HERE etc.. is your answer as to why not.
Can’t feed the union trough if kids bring lunch.

In the Air Force, I'd get picked every few weeks as Officer of the Day. One my duties would be to eat my evening meal in the Enlisted Mess. This was supposed to ensure that the Enlisted men were being fed well. The daily presence of the OOD was supposed to keep the people who ran the mess hall on their toes. I never had a bad meal there.

Whenever she says something, all I think is that I’m so glad she’s gone.

“Michelle Obama on kids complaining about school meals: ‘We are the adults in the room’” Then why didn’t you act like adults instead of playing dietitian on TV?

They did not serve anything even remotely healthy or delicious. Most of it was thrown away. These people were the most wasteful couple in history.

While it is sad looking, it looks better than most of her slop lunches I’ve seen pictured over the years.

You’ve got THAT right! Sure, there are some parents who really do feed their kids nothing but junk, and that’s not good. But her answer was to give them what sure looked unpalatable to me, and kids were throwing it out, so what purpose did it achieve? And, as another person posted, how hypocritical of her to demand what public school kids were served, when her girls got to eat from a gourmet school menu, every day? I’ll bet they wouldn’t have eaten her public school lunches, either.

Well, you know what? Kids don't like math, either. So what are we going to do, stop teaching math?

They pretty much did, through CommieCore.
