Students from around the nation have been taking to Twitter and other social media sites to post snapshot photos of their meager lunches — in some cases, a sad-looking sandwich with a carton of milk — and say to the first lady: Thanks a lot, Michelle Obama, for the rations.
One wrote, next to a picture of a hot dog roll that seemed spread with tomato sauce and cheese, on a tray with three small cherry tomatoes and a carton of lower-fat milk: “You call this a [expletive] lunch? @BarackObama @MichelleObama,” The Blaze reported.
And others were just as blunt in expressing disapproval. Next to a picture of a plastic white tray containing a small roll and a messy-looking concoction of what appeared to be mashed potatoes, scrambled hamburger and corn, another wrote: “@MichelleObama so this is the ‘healthy school lunch’ …”
Another picture of a flat sandwich that seemed to be a hamburger on a tray with a cut kiwi half and a packet of ketchup was posted by a parent who attended school lunch with her child and then tweeted: “@MichelleObama my school lunch while eating with my daughter. Only other choice was a scoop of salad. This is sad!”

Uh oh, those kids are going to get a visit from the IRS.
This is the last kid who complained. Ya feel me?
Around here all lunches are free and my grandkids wouldn’t eat them if they were starving to death.
One might think this would encourage parents to supply lunch for their children themselves, huh?
If you want to win a war you keep your troops well fed. I guess The First Lady( I know I just started laughing myself) doesn’t see American children as her troops.
Oh, lol.
All?
The Obama’s want all these “evil rich white” folk’s kids to eat this crap so they know what the poor have to eat right? Probably, I know how these sh#@stains in the Oval office think.
:)
The lunches aren’t free. Those of us who actually pay taxes, pay for those lunches.
Hey Students, tell your parents next time that “Elections Have Consequences”.
In the meantime, eat your damn peas.
Are the meals on trays like this? The Royal Navy paid the enlisted men X (depending on the year) plus “three squares a day.” Each sailor had a regulation square tray that was covered with food three times a day.
From the pics it doesn’t look like they get any peas.
I was telling the guys at work about this last night. One actually said, “Well, the little fatties need a diet!” Another said, “These brats’ parents are too lazy to make them a lunch at home?” To which I said, “Well, Richmond, Virginia and Chicago has outlawed home lunches without a paper from a doctor.”
They didn’t believe me, until I provided evidence.
Waking people up -one eye at a time.
Oh, you're no fun, anymore.
No packet of ketchup for you!
“One might think this would encourage parents to supply lunch for their children themselves, huh?”
Novel idea. Maybe they ought to pack a lunch. I did and if I’d had the nerve to complain about it my Dad would have set me straight.
