Grilled Cheese made with goobermint cheese and a bowl of soup.
One of the better school lunches if I recall.

Government school is child abuse.

There’s a reason they call it “institutional food service”.

A well made grilled cheese sandwich is culinary perfection.

Same here. The town was about 60% ethnic Catholic so it was just easier to make government grilled cheeses on friday.

Three fourths also report lesser participation from the kids themselves. This is what will eventually put an end to the idiocy coming from that wookie in the White House. School districts need a sizeable number of families paying the full price of school lunches in order for their programs to work, and without that revenue there's no incentive for the schools to take Uncle Sam's money at all.

Michelle's food regulations -- another Liberal success story ...
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
WRONG!
(CNSNews.com) In the first two years since First Lady Michelle Obama launched her Lets Move campaign to fight childhood obesity in 2010, teenage obesity rates increased, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). From 2009-2010, 18.4 percent of children ages 12-19 were classified as obese, according to the CDC. Since then, from 2011-2012, one in five children ages 12-19 or 20.5 percent, were classified as obese, an increase of 11.4 percent. The CDC has been tracking these data since 1966-1970, and at that time only 4.6 percent of teens were classified as obese.

Hmmm. You are right, but it makes me wonder what would have happened if Michelle had undertaken to reform prison food instead of kids’ lunches. Probably the criminals would have gotten only the best of comfort food, kind of what Michelle and O eat whenever they please. And the prisoners could order from personalized menus each day.

I went to elementary school in the 1970s and I can still remember the menu. It hardly varied.
Monday - Sliced turkey in gravy with mashed potato
Tuesday - Fish sticks and fries
Wednesday - Shells and tomato sauce w/grated cheese
Thursday - Hamburger and fries
Friday - Pizza (in squares)
Milk (Plain or chocolate) every day
Also, during recess, the teachers would sell snacks in the classroom for 15 cents. A Twinkie, Reeses Peanut Cups, Cheez-its or those three chocolate chip cookies wrapped in cellophane

A well made grilled cheese sandwich is culinary perfection. Especially when made with a slice of fresh, vine ripened tomato.

Lets Move, sounds like a campaign to increase our fiber intake ;-) Then again it would be quite apropos being that Moochelle is so full of it.

eight out of 10 American schools now reporting increased food waste, and increased costs. Another government success story. When are people going to figure out that beast.gov serves only itself, and does what it does to grab power by any means necessary.
The black horse of the apocalypse... ridden by the scale-wielding fat FLOTUS of famine.
