LOL!
Don’t forget your coat :)
(you know, there really should be a Dept. of Clothing.../s)
Kobe beef, lobster and ice cream! Lots of ice cream!
It’s too hard for that mom to put two veggies in her kids’ lunch? WOW.
As I said in a comment on my local newspaper’s article on this the day she was at the school, institutional-style, over-cooked veggies have lost most of their nutrients, and most of the kids who need the few nutrients that remain are going to toss the green bean mush into the trash.
I live in Northern Ireland, UK half the year, and we don’t say Veggie.
I saw a chef on television use the word over and over and now I am hearing it in mainstream vernacular. It makes them sound like a bunch of five year olds.
There's the core of this entire matter. It is to build acceptance of total control of every aspect of life. The signers of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution would most certainly be highly disappointed in the results of their grand experiement in liberty and freedom.
On Fox, either yesterday or Wednesday, a guest said that there are some states or school districts which are now forbidding home-packed lunches. The children MUST eat government-approved food. Yikes!
Arizona may be quietly dropping a nuclear depth charge on this.
A bill is before its legislature that would allow schools to opt-out of the federal school lunch program. Doing so would save them a lot of money, and they would still serve food that is nutritious, and that the students, not queen Michelle, like to eat.
But it is far, far more than that.
For decades, the federal government has used the *threat* of pulling the federal school lunch program out of schools *unless* schools obeyed *endless* federal rules and regulations. Most of which were for expensive and stupid paperwork, and to take time away from students’ lessons for ignorant and biased “opinion surveys”, p.c. indoctrination, and other grotesque wastes of student and teacher time.
So if schools can opt out of the federal school lunch program, they can save a HUGE amount of money, because they no longer have to obey these dozens of federal demands.
They will be able to teach students better, as well.
But guaranteed, once the federal bureaucrats realize what AZ is doing, they will have a major panic attack. Odds are that Holder will sue AZ again, to FORCE them to continue with “voluntary” programs that were *never* voluntary.
Thanks, Michelle! By trying to force children to eat food that tastes like sea kelp and lawn clippings, you may have created the path for schools out of the federal morass.
I don't have a problem with schools deciding to serve what they consider "healthier" meals. They cross a line, though, when they try to require kids to eat them.
If a kid brings Ding Dongs to eat with his lunch (or even FOR his lunch), it is none of the government's darned bee's wax.
More of the low fat & high carb nonsense, only in this case actually trying to force kids to eat it.
Whole grains can raise blood sugar just as fast as refined carbs.
Well, I’m a bit of a Anglophile totally into the British cooking shows and I have heard them use it and it’s in my “cookery” books. Also, Two Veg is certainly an English/British expression. I think we went from Veg to Veggie in the wink of an eye. Who cares, anyway??
The fat a$$ed fraud needs to leave our kids alone and quit acting like we elected her for some imagined office. Instead she's flying around spending the taxpayers money while staying away from the sissy man that's her hubbie. Wonder if a certain SS agent is on the road with them.....
I thought the same thing. Lettuce and tomato on a sandwich (if the kid will eat it) and some raw veggies and dip. The kid probably ends up with more than 2 servings according to the government "charts".
Oh, but I forgot. . .the dip has too much fat according to the food police.
Well, they really don't understand the climate around here (North Dakota), that's for sure.
