Students at a Wisconsin high school are boycotting the lunch program, upset over tiny portions and declining quality.

Meghan Hellrood, a senior at D.C. Everest High School in Weston, talked to Ainsley Earhardt this morning to explain why she’s leading the protest against the federal program, which was championed by First Lady Michelle Obama. […]

“It’s not actually giving us healthy foods. It’s giving us small portions of very processed foods. Kids aren’t happy about that,” said Hellrood, referring to the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, which was passed in 2010 as part of an effort to combat childhood obesity. …

This is actually a GREAT thing.

This is many children's first exposure to politics.

I predict many conservatives will emerge from this blunder by Michelle.

Wisconsin is really turning into a place of insurrection, and not like the 60s when it was commies doing it.

What companies make the processed food, and are they donors to the DNC and Herr Obozo and Moosela?

Compare this lunch fare with that of home schoolers.

Stalinism grows threadbare after a few decades.

Gee Michelle My Bell Obama is just trying to toughen up the nations youth - they will be the adults of tomorrow and they will be hungry more often later in life - Encouraging the youth how to make do with shoe leather, and other foods that are really not foods.

The Sidwell lunch sounds great.

Did you look at the photos of the public school lunches? I couldn't even tell what some it was. The portions were ridiculous too.

"...part of an effort to combat childhood obesity."

Hmmmm...just last night there were commercials on tv saying we need to combat hunger.

Color me confused...

Personally, I'd like to see Congress, and its staff enjoy these meals exclusive at their cafes.

Likewise, at the WH, too, including State dinners, just to set and lead by example.

This link is to the 5-week rotating menu for prisons.
Found at the search “federally approved menus in jails”.
Copy and paste if you want to see it, it’s prob a hot link.

http://www.bop.gov/foia/national_menu_lun_din.pdf

It’s not great, but it’s a damn sight better than what kids are
“approved” for school meals.

And of course, bring your own damn lunch, BUT,
this is inhumane torture to serve these items to
children and call it lunch. It’s just damned punitive.
Think the illegals are eating this SH!+?

I just hope I’m around to see the downfall of
Barry and Wookie. I expect once they’re out of
office they will be personas-non-grata everywhere,
and the stories will come out.

Ahhhh.... something to keep living for....

“Sidwell Friends School”

So send kids to private school. Taxpayers who don’t have kids in public school shouldn’t have to pay more money so that public school kids can have their quiche lorraine.
