What, don’t they like arugula?
Let them eat cake.
Jeez. Just end the national school lunch program. What a national embarrassment.
When I was in school I hated everything they served.
Pizza, spaghetti, lasagna sloppy Joe.
Hated em all.
Brought my Mom’s cooking.
Seems like there’s some sane people in the Catlin school district, they’re not going along with Michelle’s folly.
Moochelle, being a leftist with the usual leftist proclivities towards oppression (and hypocrisy), couldn’t choose something like “literacy” for her First Lady cause. No, she had to choose something where she could exercise her fascist tendencies towards telling people how they must live, even down to what they eat. The hypocrisy is in the fact, that like any leftist, she doesn’t abide by her own rules. She’s hardly any objective person’s idea of the “body healthy”. We’re just supposed to ignore that, like we’re supposed to ignore all the nakedness of Moochelle and Obozo, empress and emperor of Cloud Cuckoo Land.
I was talking to a friend of mine who is a dietician and she was telling me that this plan was ridiculous on so many levels. She said that this was a basically a one-size-fits-all menu and that is absurd. She said that each person’s nutritional needs are different. What might work for one person won’t necessarily work for another. One example she gave was with student athletes. According to her; students who play sports require a higher caloric intake than a non-athlete.
As always with the Federal Government this is about power and control.
You want Federal tax dollars? You feed the kids what we say.
You want Federal tax dollars? You teach the kids what we tell you to.
You want Federal tax dollars? You push the social agendas we tell you to.
Private school or home school are the only ways to go.
They area really quite the pair these two. That overfed beyotch is starving our children.
***”... But if I tried to get my 11- and 7-year-old to eat kale, they will look at me like, ‘What are you putting on my plate?’” ***
Reminds me of the Calvin and Hobbes cartoons in which the green glob on Calvin’s plate suddenly attacks him.
Just amazing that this week was a week to Kick the Obamas. First with Odumbo and his Brothas in Egypt now look Michelle-My-Belle just got kicked too. What a week =)

You may recall that last September the federal government imposed a new regulation on schools who participated in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). These regulations were well intended but ended up causing hungry children, frustrated parents, and a significant decrease in the number of students buying lunch at our schools. As a result of this and the concerns we have heard from you, the Board of Education has decided to opt out of the NSLP.
Well, on the bright side, parents might start making lunch for their kids again. Or the kids might learn to make their own lunches—which is a great lesson in self-sufficiency.
I remember that lunch, for me, was two slices of bread, slathered with a can of tuna with the oil squeezed out and mixed with lots of mayo. I was making this in first grade!
Sadly, somewhere along the way, I developed an allergy to tuna.
I would love to see the “news” media cover this, truthfully, without all their “we love King and Queen Zero and you should to” crap.
Reagan’s DREAM was to end that IDIOTIC school lunch program, but the Dems stopped him. They did the same with Newt when he wanted to limit the rate of growth slightly - the Dems went ballistic.
At that point, Rush’s antennas went up, and he started looking at just how that program was being used. He found some AMAZING THINGS, that had nothing to do with food. At that point things started to make sense. I just can’t remember exactly what they were, but they were using the lists of people for voter registration, signing up for other programs, community activism, and God knows what else. They needed to know who was low income, and that was how they figured it out.
...so if schools start to FINALLY leave that forsaken program, THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!
Kids don’t eat food they don’t like, raised 3 boys, they went hungry if they snarled their noses up at what I cooked. Did not hurt them.
