Schools in the U.S. will now have the opportunity to go against the grain of First Lady Michelle Obama's healthy lunch program.
A massive year-end spending bill released by Congress Tuesday doesn't allow schools to opt out of healthier school meal standards championed by the First Lady, as House Republicans had sought. But it would ease standards that many students and school officials complained about.

Please someone tell my how the “Queen” gets to Dictate anything period.
TT
I must have missed that part in US government class where the spouse of the prez makes law.
You mean to tell me these traitorous bastards paid us off with free school lunches!?!?!?
Fixed for accuracy
She gonna be madder than a wet hen. ‘What’s going on? Why is all my Good Work being threatened with destruction by these low down, racist Nitwits? We shall SEE who destroys whom, won’t we? Get Valery and Soros on the phone now! No, I don’t need Barack, he would take the credit away from me, and besides, Barack has to divide his time between those nighttime comedy shows and meetings with the Muslim Brotherhood. He’s very busy! “
The Spouse of the President gets to make law just as he does.
Just think Juan and Eva Peron.
It takes Congress to reverse something an unelected wife of a politician does?
Get Fedguv out of K-12 completely.
Today.
These lunches have done wonders for her plump rump for sure.
Exactly, the fat azz wasn’t elected to an office.
She’s the fourth branch of government. Everybody knows that. Because racism.
Moocher Michelle and Congress controlling local public
schools right down to what the students are allowed to eat???
Just who gave them the right to interfere in local school districts? And how can this horrible state of affairs be corrected?
(Don't hold your breath waiting for the Republican leadership to do anything about it.)
And exactly where in the Constitution is the authority of the federal government to dictate school lunch programs? All schools should tell the fed’s to take a hike.
The next First Lady can sit and eat bon bons all day....go on as many trips as her heart desires as long as she cancels this stupid program.
Clearly the Congress that rode in with Obama must have passed the “Michelle law,” and a Republican Congress and POTUS will be needed to repeal it.
