I have no problem with Michelle Obama or anyone else acting in an advisory capacity as to what they think are healthy meals. If the federal government wants to supply healthy food information to the schools—no problem. I don’t even care if some states voluntarily enact Michelle’s healthy eating guidelines.
What I do not like and what violates the US Constitution is a federal government that takes control of our schools, telling them what they must teach and eat. Programs like the school lunch program usually start with good intentions, but they always, inevitably feed the regulatory state with a handful of people telling millions of us how to live. That is simply not right in a democratic republic.
Yeah, I’m more concerned about what they’re putting in the kids’ heads than their stomachs.
That said, Black Evita has spoken, so...
” If the federal government wants to supply healthy food information to the schools”
Not sure where that is authorized in the U.S. Constitution. Certainly is camel sticking its nose under the tent. Education happens locally. You’re right in that any private citizen can advocate for any policy he or she chooses.
