Angry students snap photos of lunches, tell Michelle Obama: ‘You call this a [expletive] lunch?’
The Washington Times ^ | April 7, 2014 | By Cheryl K. Chumley

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!”

Sad when the murdering criminals at Gitmo get fed better than American children.

The lunches aren’t free. Those of us who actually pay taxes, pay for those lunches.

Worse than that...the uneaten portions are just thrown away.

Well, let's put this in context. Just for purposes of comparison, today's lunch menu at the Sidwell Friends School, which Sasha and Malia Obama attend:

April 7, 2014

Creamy Broccoli Soup
Classic Macaroni Salad
Arugula, Fennel & Parmesan Salad
All Natural Baked Chicken Patty
Blackeyed Pea & Fennel Ragu
Roasted Local Zucchini
Baked Organic French Fries
Grapes

A little light on the dessert, I think. No creme brûlée?

"Baked Organic French Fries"

Apparently, they aren't teaching English vocabulary words very well, at that school.

IF the parents were aware of it.
Schools do crap like this on the sly, slowly.
The parents aren’t notified of any policy change, all they know is that Johnny or Tammy are griping about school food as usual.

What an absolutely disgusting first lady. This is the only damn platform she could come up with? Lunch rations? There is nothing more disgusting than having someone with a big fat butt try to persuade you into “healthy” eating choices. I bet the Queen was eating buttery lobster the day those pics were shared.

Nancy Reagan: Say no to drugs.
Michelle Obama: Say no to fries.
