...combined with the fear that a new Republican Senate could gut the program all together.

We have got a better chance of seeing God. The republicrats will never shut down the hog trough.

“No one is doubting that healthy school lunches are a critical part of building a healthy society.”

A red herring if ever there was one.

A definition of “healthy” should be available.

Lunches are not the real problem.

Parents are the critical component of building a healthy society.

"The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act"

Legislation carefully named by democrats specifically so that anyone opposed to this multibillion dollar kickback to favored friends in industry can be branded with the accusation that they are "for sickly, starving kids".

“No one is doubting that healthy school lunches are a critical part of building a healthy society. The federal government first began subsidizing school lunches in 1945 as a national security effort after receiving testimony that many potential army recruits were being turned away due to poor nutrition. In 2009, the Department of Defense announced that obesity was the number one medical reason for turning away potential soldiers.”

Incredible paragraph. The first sentence uses the term “school lunches”, rather than just “lunches” or “meals”. The second sentence shows just how corrupt our Congress was, even in 1945. They had no Constitutional jurisdiction and they knew it, but FDR had packed the courts by then, so tough. And the last sentence implies that the QUICKEST WAY to end childhood obesity is to simply end the program, as people are taking too much of the freebies, and that always happens with freebies.

Is Michelle forcing her menu on prison inmates? That could be a true test of her nutrition project.

When I grew up in 1960s Pennsylvania, the school didn’t even have a cafeteria. We had to bring lunch from home, was not optional. Just saying that there was a time when they didn’t feed kids anything at school.
