While Michelle Obamas skimpy school lunch mandates have been widely rejected by students and schools, the elite private school attended by both Obama daughters will be serving chicken wings and potato chips on Wednesday.
Sidwell Friends is the elite private school with a $36,264 tuition per child where President Obama sent his daughtersinstead of Cardozo high school, a government-run school in Washington, D.C.
After Wednesdays chicken wings , on Thursday Obamas daughters can get a Cuban sandwich. Pasco County Schools in Florida had to eliminate Cuban sandwiches because they violated Michelle Obamas lunch standards.
Land O Lakes High had gone one better, pressing its own Cuban sandwiches that definitely exceed the calorie limits, she said.
No way can we fit Cubans on the menu any more, Hedine said.
Next week, students at Sidwell Friends can enjoy Philly Cheese Steaks ; and they will have meatball submarines the following week. Veterans Day is not a holiday at Sidwell Friends, and beef nachos are on the menu. Nachos, wings, chips and cheesesteaks lunch fare most American kids can only dream about now.
Hypocrite much?
All animals are equal.
But some animals are more equal than others.
Heard that somewhere, but it was only in a fiction novel.
‘Tould never be allowed by liberals.
How does Michelle Obama set lunch policy or enforce it? She is not a government official. And if she was, she’d be a federal executive officer, where schools are run by states and counties.
Explain please.
DO AS I SAY,.. NOT AS I DO !!

I’ve wondered the same thing, I suppose the same way 0bambam goes around Congress and ignores laws on the books.
‘Pasco County Schools in Florida had to eliminate Cuban sandwiches because they violated Michelle Obamas lunch standards.’
Anyone care to explain how that works? Her dictates have no force of law. Why then would the school or district do such a thing?

School lunches in America are subsidized with billions of taxpayer dollars. Virtually every school district gets a significant portion of their food budget from the Feds. So if they don’t comply with the federal rules, they don’t get the cash. That’s how they do it.
Personally we’re I a school superintendent I’d tell the Feds to go pee up a rope and keep the money. Then I would direct the schools to charge enough to cover the costs.
L
Much of the monies for publicity was taken out of NIH funds.
Luncheon nutrition program, and the like.
I beleive the White hut "Garden" is tended by the Park Service, and is operated for "OPTICS".
DO AS I SAY IS THE ESSENCE OF THE LEFT. WHY WOULDN’T IT BE THAT WAY SINCE THOSE WHO ARE DOING THE SAYING HAVE ALL GOTTEN RICH AT THE FEDERAL/UNIVERSITY FEEDING TROUGHS. THEY ARE USED TO HAVING IT ALL, INCLUDING OTHERS DOING THEIR BIDDING AND THEY ARE NOT USED TO BEING SAID NO TO.
Methinks Carol Costello should seek another line of work.
Stupid.
.
She got her program enacted and more than a few school districts around the country have told the feds to shove their school lunch fund subsidies, they’ll handle their lunches themselves.
“and is operated for “OPTICS”
We need to return to our language and ignore the wordsmiths of the press and Government. After all, we got by with “appearances” for a few centuries.
“Personally were I a school superintendent Id tell the Feds to go pee up a rope and keep the money. Then I would direct the schools to charge enough to cover the cost”
I’ve got an even better idea. Make the parents pack them a good lunch and eliminate the lunch program.
I’m sure everyone would go along with that./s

school lunch managers should get ahold of Sidwell’s lunch menu and copy it - to the chip.
I’d have to see how they put the tuna pasta salad together and what other ingredients are in there. Knowing Sidwell, it’s REAL fresh-caught tuna, not canned. LOL
