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!”

My grandmother was the cook at our two room schoolhouse back in the 50's and 60's. An example on a meal would have been

Baked Ham

Mashed Potatoes

Corn on the Cob

Home Made Biscuits with butter

Home made cinnamon buns

Oh how I wish I was back in that two room school house again.

“Meals” worthy of North Korea."

Not really. There's no tree bark or insects or human waste.

If we want the ‘youth vote’ when these kids are a little older, we need to step in NOW and fight the nanny state with them...

I’m guessing the Obama’s daughters eat the same meals, right?

Here’s one menu day from Sidwell - (the school Obama’s daughters attend)

******************************************************

http://www.businessinsider.com/sidwell-friends-obama-school-pearl-harbor-day-menu-2011-12

Sidwell Friends, the elite Washington day school attended by none other than Sasha and Malia Obama, is serving up an interesting menu today to commemorate Pearl Harbor.

The Washington Post’s Reliable Source blog reports that the school cafeteria has listed its Wednesday lunch as its “Pearl Harbor Day” menu.

Even more bizarre than the lunch itself is what the children at Sidwell Friends will be eating today to honor the attack. Japanese food — no joke.

The Reliable Source has a picture of the heavily Japanese-inspired menu, which includes Asian mushroom and oriental noodle soup, garlic roasted edamame, teriyaki chicken, and other more generally Asian options.

One might think this would encourage parents to supply lunch for their children themselves, huh?

Except half the schools are under the impression they have the authority to tell the parents what and whether they can send their kid for lunch. Bull$hit I say!
