School Lunch Nanny State PING!

[Don Corleone]

Moochelle strikes again!!

[Impy]

Kids want lunch that tastes good, what a shocker. Give them what Princesses Sasha and Malia get.

[DoughtyOne]

The Left never seems to understand where their policies lead.

[Cboldt]

We are a nation of sissies. The federal government tells the schools to feed the kids pig slop. The schools know the kids won't eat it. So the schools obey thew law and testify in Congress? At whose expense? Utter, complete nonsense. These boneheads would jump off a cliff if Congress told them to. Or push a child off a cliff.

Rosa Parks had guts, and all she wanted was to sit where she wanted. These heathens are playing with the personal welfare of children, and haven't enough guts to just ditch the order without permission to do so.

Break the goddamn law - it's a harmful law.

nobody wants to eat the shit on a certain nice lady’s menu?

This is good. When Obama gives the green light to his coming famine, maybe some school children will have access to food from somewhere other than the government . . . like food from their own parents.

[DoughtyOne]

I’m not sure if folks realize this, but school lunch programs are gateways to other government services. They push participation to kids whose families can afford lunches for this reason. The Left loves these dynamics.

So Moochelle not only managed to tick the kids off and get a lot of them out of these programs, she also cut off the gateways to other programs.

What a babe. LMAO

Obesity comes more from children’s sedentary Internet/gaming lifestyle than it does from diet. Farm meals were huge but you didn’t see fat unhealthy farmers. The same went for factory, steel mill and mines. People didn’t live as long then but early death was from many factors other than diet.

Now lets get this straight...I don't have to eat it, YOU DO!

Putting certain ethnic groups in charge of anything (cities, countries, children’s menus) courts disaster.

[beethovenfan]

Hey Mooch - eat this!!

Let Mrs. Bigbutt eat the raw carrots.

“More than one million fewer students choose school lunch each day, thwarting the goal of promoting healthier diets for all students,” the SNA stated, adding that “school lunch revenue is down and food waste is up.”

How will the government fix this problem of their own creation? Easy! FORCE students on the program. Make them eat it (bake the cake, accommodate a redefined marriage, sign up or be penalized, etc., etc.)

[Sasparilla]

Kids know what looks and tastes good and what doesn’t. Does that take rocket science? Thats why when they get to the end of the lunch line they put the “food” where it belongs, a billion dollars worth a year, right into the garbage.

“A hungry child is not a child who is willing to learn,” he said.
“One of the reasons that this is so important is the ongoing epidemic of obesity in this country.

Do these idiots ever listen to themselves or do they just repeat preprogrammed code phrases randomly without knowing what the words mean?

[Fai Mao]

If the issue is a lack of physical fitness and not government control the answer would be to mandate 2 hours of PE everyday. Let kids spend two hours playing soccer, or basketball or cross country running and then they eat what they want for lunch

[unixfox]

Let Mrs. Bigbutt eat the raw carrots.

I'd rather she eat sh!t and die.
