Obama's Daughters Enjoy Gourmet Lunches at Posh School 11 Dec 2014 By James Morrisson
While many public school students complain about lunchtime mush that meets White House calorie guidelines, President Barack Obama's daughters are dining on gourmet meals at a posh private school in Washington.
School kids have been moaning about tasteless fare local governments adopt to comply with first lady Michelle Obamas war on the waistline and posting photos of the mystery meals online.
The Sidwell Friends School, the $36,000-a-year private academy attended by Malia and Sasha Obama, also posts its menus on the Internet. Editor's Note: Seniors Scoop Up Unclaimed $20,500 Checks? (See If You Qualify) The Daily Caller discovered that Sidwell students eat well.
Thursdays lunch included: potato sausage soup, firecracker slaw, California chefs salad, all natural Jamaican jerk chicken wings, sweet potato black-bean bake, sauteed local greens, gemelli alfredo, and slice pineapple.
Samples of the daily lunch at U.S. public schools are illustrated in the photos students post online.

I imagine Barry’s “unaccompanied” illegal alien invaders will be getting the same treatment once their parents, aunts and uncles and grandparents register to vote for DemocRATS. American kids will be chokin’ down the peas and broccoli.
And Bammy’s concerned that his daughters will suffer from racism.
Yeah, those poor kids sure have a rough road ahead of them.
Maybe they could blow the lid off the racist system with a learned treatise, as their Mom did at Princeton:
“Sidwell Educated Black Kids: Nobody Knows The Truffles We’ve Et”.
no they just suffer from idiotic, retarded parents.
Yeah....and here's a pic of the $50 million Lux hotel complex in Dallas that was purchased by the Dallas Baptist No Profit with a grant from Obama to house the illegals
And here's a pic of Obama and Dallas Judge Jeffords at the signing ceremony....they got another $190 million
If they don’t have white bread,let them eat butter biscuits!
So gourmet cooking aside, did the lunch at Sidwell Friends comply with Obama’s healthy lunch guidelines or didn’t it?
I’m sure Sidwell has decent food, but this hardly strikes me as a gourmet menu. Gourmet adjectives, maybe, but: potato sausage soup? Slaw? (Ok, it’s “firecracker” slaw, so they put something spicy in it.) Chef’s salad? Chicken wings? Sweet potatoes and black beans, baked together? (I’ll pass; as far as I’m concerned, two ways to die.) Pasta? (Gemelli is just a type of noodle; the name refers to the twisty shape.) And sliced pineapple? Pretty basic food, it seems to me. I imagine the public schools could afford it as well, although the Sidwell-level adjectives might be beyond them.
At the same time, however, DC public schools are spending nearly $30,000 per student. If one does the math and splits the dollars between lower-cost elementary schools and higher cost high schools, I expect that DC public high schools are actually spending more than Sidwell on a per-pupil basis.
The left NEVER addresses those numbers; it just argues for more money poured down the same black hole. The debate should NOT be about Sidwell privilege; the debate should start with the demand that public schools, with comparable funding, start producing Sidwell results. The public schools on average are much better financed than most of the private schools. The argument for privatization and parental choice could not be clearer.
Training them to take their place in the privileged liberal ruling elite.
The point is Moo-chelle has the peasants starving while her kids dine gourmet.
My point was simply that the Sidwell lunch given as an example was hardly “gourmet.” What the Tofu Queen is doing to public school menus is a separate issue.
In a very humble way, the lunch gap may be illustrative. The difference here not that Sidwell is providing an expensive or elaborate menu. I would guess that there is nothing on that Sidwell menu that wouldn’t fit within current public school guidelines and budgets. The difference is that a place like Sidwell is staffed by highly competent people who really care about what they are doing. That can’t be taken for granted in the public schools, although where it DOES exist, I am sure you can find public schools that provide equally creative options.
Nothing but elitist cess pool trash.
I am reminded of Marie Antoinette’s rebuff when told the peasants have no bread..let them eat cake.
