My son is 16 years old. He leads the O-line on his football team. He takes his lunch of high protein every day - Mrs. O does not care about the athletic students that need more - remember, we don’t want the losers to feel bad about their lack of achievement.

I witnessed this a couple of weeks back when I substituted at the last minute at our high school. No time to pack a lunch so I grabbed something with the students in the cafeteria.

Choice of hot ham/cheese on whole wheat bun or a small sized corndog, beans, one tiny packet of carrots and they were limited to three celery sticks. Milk cartons seemed tiny but they did have chocolate. Kids could have an apple or orange and if they wanted chips, they only had Baked Lays. The cafeteria ladies had little signs telling them how much they could take, i.e. one bag carrots, 3 celery sticks.

Most kids seemed to bring lunch. Neighbor is a lineman for the football team. Came home starving and with working out after school and practice, you have 200+ pound kids famished. They are now all packing or buying double lunches to keep their energy up.

I played Football and Hockey when I was in high school. 5 AM on the ice for hockey practice and 3:30 PM on the field for football practice during the times the seasons overlapped.

If I was only allowed to eat 850 calories I would have literally died.

During those times of the school year we , my teammates and I, would drive to the local Burger King and each buy two Whoppers along with the large fries and drinks. We burned off every calorie.

The Marxist regime is now too much and has to be stopped. WE MUST TAKE BACK THE USA ON NOVEMBER 6th!
