"L.A. schools' healthful lunch menu panned by students"

It's lunchtime at Van Nuys High School and students stream into the cafeteria to check out the day's fare: black bean burgers, tostada salad, fresh pears and other items on a new healthful menu introduced this year by the Los Angeles Unified School District.

But Iraides Renteria and Mayra Gutierrez don't even bother to line up. Iraides said the school food previously made her throw up, and Mayra calls it "nasty, rotty stuff." So what do they eat? The juniors pull three bags of Flamin' Hot Cheetos and soda from their backpacks.

"This is our daily lunch," Iraides says. "We're eating more junk food now than last year."

For many students, L.A. Unified's trailblazing introduction of healthful school lunches has been a flop. Earlier this year, the district got rid of chocolate and strawberry milk, chicken nuggets, corn dogs, nachos and other food high in fat, sugar and sodium. Instead, district chefs concocted such healthful alternatives as vegetarian curries and tamales, quinoa salads and pad Thai noodles.

There's just one problem: Many of the meals are being rejected en masse.

Just because Marie Antoinette Obama says let the peasants eat tofu doesn't mean they will. Schools that have tried the Empress's diet found they throw most of it away uneaten and the kids bring junk food from home or have a junk food black market.

If her Highness wanted to have a real impact on healthy diets she should be pressing for limiting what can be purchased with EBT /food stamps. I often see people at the grocery store with carts full of junk food and soda pay for it with EBT and I have never seen anyone using an EBT card to buy tofu. However, to limit the use of EBT cards to healthy food might alienate one of Obama's main voting blocks. Watch this video
