Michelle Obama: Changes to School Lunch Menu 'Unacceptable'
breitbart ^ | 5/27/14 | c spiering

Posted on 05/27/2014 4:01:44 PM PDT by bestintxas

First Lady Michelle Obama sent a strong message to Republicans in Congress who want to allow local school districts to opt out of the federal regulations on school lunches.

"This is unacceptable," she said during a roundtable discussion of the issue. “It's unacceptable to me not just as First Lady but also as a mother."

The strict rules, passed in 2010, limit the amount of fat, calories, sugar, and sodium served in school meals.

House Republicans are supporting a measure that would allow some school districts to opt out of the standards — if they can prove that it is affecting their school budgets.

The First Lady pointed out that since the regulations, kids in the United States were eating more fruits and vegetables.

"The last thing we can afford to do right now is play politics with our kids' health,” she added. “Now is not the time to roll back everything we have worked for."

She doesn’t want to play politics with the kids’ health? It’s amazing how these people can say stuff with straight faces.

Message to the states - just don’t enforce federal laws you don’t agree with. Easy peasy.

its not “easy peasy” as long as the states are addicted to federal money.

  The strict rules, passed in 2010, limit the amount of fat, calories, sugar, and sodium served in school meals.

  I wonder what happens to the poor kid they catch with packets of salt, sugar and mustard in his pocket.

  Michelle Obama is against kids getting free condiments at school.

Did any of you out there pull a lever to elect this woman as our school lunch queen?

There's a current posting about a CNN chick that recently claimed MO "signed" the lunch program requirements.

Just like there is no such thing as “government money” - there is no such thing as “our children”.

My children, are MINE.

My health is MINE.

Stay out of my business.

I say we do away with this “First Lady” business — the title and the “position.” In a republic, the presidential couple would be rightly styled “The President of the United States and Mrs. ___________,” (or Mr. ________ in the case of a female president.) Provide no funding for an office or staff except for reasonable household duties. That way we avoid co-regents like the Clintons or insufferable busy-bodies like Mrs. Obama.
