American public school students sick of the smaller portions and healthier offerings they get at lunch thanks to Michelle Obama's anti-obesity initiatives are sounding off on social media. Just a month after school lunch participation saw the steepest drop on record following the implementation of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, students tired of going home hungry are making sure the first lady knows why. 'I'll never forgive Michelle Obama for this school lunch,' tweeted one angry student.

Over the last six years....a real burger menu at a military bowling alley, with soda...runs now around $8...which is pitiful if you think about the cost. Then you imagine some kid trying eat a $2 meal at some school cafe...even with federal money flowing....it’s a lousy choice.
Someone should add gas to the fire and tweet these kids a montage of the Mooch stuffing her face.
Have you tried Organic Valley heavy whipping cream for no carbs and a non-homogenized product? Try a non-google on homogenization to get an idea of what it does to you.
I’ve been all through the homogenized stuff. It’s one freaking tablespoon a day. I fed first breast milk, then raw goat, and then cow milk to my son. At 37 he has perfect teeth and no allergies but he lots of other health issues. I don’t know whether any of it is related to the milk. My younger son I nursed for 23 months - he has almost perfect teeth and good health. Some allergies.
In the same way that Mrs. Bill had "lawmaking" powers. She decides, and her other half decrees that her decisions WILL be carried out.
Seig heill!
You are joshing, yes? They feed the terrorists at Gitmo better food than they allow in school cafeterias these days.
That was my favorite weekend lunch when I was a kid in Hawaii. If it was good enough for the astronauts, it was great for me.
Same here. We had real lunch ladies that cooked everything. Real meals. Every year every student got 1 chance to work in the cafeteria for a wk and get free lunch. We all looked forward to it because you could eat as much as you wanted. And their desserts were awesome!!!
Sorry to focus in an a small section of your good post but I’m surprised that your school would present you with half an apple. Even worse than half a kiwi because half an apple will turn pink, brown and black!
I graduated high school in 1972. My mother prepared terrible sandwiches (devoured during Home Room at 9am) for my lunch and I envied the lovely food that came out of the school kitchen. Mashed potatoes! Fish cakes! Roast beef! Mashed potatoes! Sloppy Joes with...Mashed potatoes! Interestingly, we had no fat kids. Just the poor child who got singled out for teasing.
Tasty food is expensive. Nutritional food is even more expensive.
If I am not mistaken many schools that accept the federal funds have forbidden home packed lunches.
Sherriff Joe feeds his inmates better than the crap on these plates. Half a kiwi? Not even a whole kiwi? Really?
Ruy, when I was a kid, I went to a Catholic school for several years in a wonderful Italian-American neighborhood. All the children (except this doleful Irish-American) spanned out onto the main street to the wonderful Italian delis where they gorged on antipasto and well-made heroes. I sat on the steps of the church eating my meager natural peanut butter sandwich!
None of those children were fat.
I do know that in some places in Great Britain, homemade lunches were banned and parents rebelled by tossing bagged lunches threw the school fences.
Put me in charge of the cafe with that budget and I’ll sell to every single kid there ... $1.50 federal + $2.00 out of pocket... figure $1.50 for the breakfast and late day sessions with no out of pocket ... for 500 kids that’s $3,250 daily ... $2,500 daily if you have 50% participation for breakfast and dinner... I could make serious coin serving really good food on that budget.
Yes, it was very good. Did you have those wonderful hamburgers? Turkey in gravy over mashed potatoes? My husband and I talk about those wonderful meals, too. Sometimes I try to recreate the recipes. I cannot imagine it cost all that much either.
Precisely what authority does that fat ass bitch have to dictate school lunches? She is not an official, elected or otherwise,
