Leaked Photos Spell Bad News for Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama got the wind taken out of her sails recently when some photos surfaced that expose her school lunch plan for the disaster it is.

When 13 year-old Tanner Glenney received his lunch from his Texas middle school cafeteria on taco day, he was shocked by what he saw. He took pictures to show his mother Shelley, and she was enraged to see that there was barely a teaspoon of meat inside her son’s taco.

“I first thought it had to be a mistake or the kids were messing around,” Shelley Glenney said. “And then when he told me that’s all we got, it’s just a little shocking. I didn’t know what to think.”

As she thought about it more, Shelley became more and more angry as she released what affect this must be having on American children all over the country.

“They can’t concentrate when they don’t have enough to eat,” she added.

Shelley posted the photos of the taco to Facebook, and immediately received support from parents all over the country who are also sick of Michelle Obama’s school lunch plan.

“I saw the reaction from the other parents, saying things like they were fuming and it was outrageous,” Shelley said.

When school administrator’s found out what happened, they reached out to the Glenney family to apologize.

“Any reasonable person can see there’s not enough meat on that taco,” Associate Superintendent of Educational Operations Jerry Hollingsworth told the press. “I’m certainly not aware of this being a pattern and if that’s the case, we need to fix it and we will.”

In the end, there isn’t much the school district can do. Thanks to Michelle Obama, their hands are tied, and they can barely feed our children enough to eat.

These photos show that Michelle Obama has gone too far, and must be stopped immediately.

Solution:

Brown bag lunches.

Jam the ‘system’.

“Why aren’t those parents making lunch for each of their kids?”

To avoid having their children taken away from them by Child Protection Services under charges of child abuse for providing unapproved lunches.

“Brown bag lunches.”

It’s been tried. The children with the brown bag lunches shared them with the other children, so the school authorities moved in and banned them citing health issues such as peanut allergies and so forth as a critical health problem with sharing lunches.

Y’all know they changed the menus at military bases? They sited the weight gain of the general population raising medical costs.

http://www.delish.com/food/news/a38903/healthy-military-food/

Now what do a lot of people do when they are stressed or depressed? Eat junk. What stresses and depresses the military? The administration.

Try inspiring the population, not destroying the population at every level you spawns of satan.

Re: the Sidwell menu. The Monday offering that you posted consists of a Philly Cheese Steak and some simple sides. There is nothing exotic about it. There is no reason public schools couldn't offer similar dishes except that ideological zealots on a mission have taken over the federal school lunch business.

I imagine that budget pressures also come into play. Sidwell parents pay for their kids' meals. Inner city schools have turned into comprehensive three meals a day feeding operations in which lunch money has to compete with pay raises for teachers, school security, more pay raises for teachers, benefit increases, pay raises, transportation, pay raises, athletics, and pay raises. And of course, academic instruction, which gets what is left over.

Maybe parents should go back to packing a lunch, just to be sure. A radical and perhaps subversive thought, I know, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

P.S. Regarding security guards at Sidwell. From time to time I have seen the explanation that security is one reason that the Secret Service likes Sidwell for presidential kids. I don't know if that's actually the case, but it is a believable speculation due to the layout of the campus.

Sidwell Friends originated as a proprietary Quaker school in a rowhouse in downtown Washington. It was Sidwell's School before Mr. Sidwell got married, and The Sidwells' School after. The Sidwells were apparently gifted educators, and the school prospered and grew. The Sidwells were professionally successful and became affluent enough to join the early suburban exodus. This was back in the trolley era, so they purchased a small farm way out at the end of the trolley line, in what was still countryside.

Over time, "the farm" got incorporated into the life of the school for field days, nature study, picnics, etc. Time marched on, the Sidwells passed, the farm was left to the school, and when time came for expansion, the farm was a natural place to move the main campus. Meanwhile, of course, with the coming of the automobile, the city grew up around it.

The point is, Sidwell has an expansive campus for perfectly good historical reasons; it got the land before suburban sprawl inflated prices. As a result, it had acreage to play with. The classroom buildings were built at a distance from the highway. That was probably done for aesthetic and noise reasons, but today it presents a security advantage as well. Fronting Wisconsin Avenue today is a sunken parking lot topped by a soccer field. One classroom building is visible from the road beyond the field. The rest are out of site downslope.

I'm not a Sidwell parent, but between summer camps, school and club athletics, student theatricals and musicals, etc., I've been on the campuses of most of our local big names schools. Many of them have impressive campuses, but Sidwell's is one of the easiest to secure and is probably the best insulated from potential car or truck bombs. Even at schools like Georgetown Prep, Washington International, Stone Ridge, the Congressional School, the Potomac School, etc., which have large off-road campuses, an attacker could easily drive a vehicle right up to, or into, a classroom building. The Sidwell layout prevents that.

And of course, it is relatively close in, which minimizes the commute (itself a security factor), and it is a great school.

I don’t mean this in defense of Moochelle’s school lunch program at all, but look at the “grease pattern” in the taco shell vs. the “meat” in the taco shell. Makes me wonder if someone doctored the amount of meat. Even if you flattened out that teaspoon of meat, you wouldn’t get a grease print like that one.

Per whiskeyx, they’ve banned brown bag lunches.

Citing allergies, etc.

And that cps would go after the parents that did so.

I want to know where this happened and when it started.

“Where and when did they start banning brown bag lunches??”

I don’t recall the specifics now, but past articles on FR pointed to many news stories and news broadcasts focused on the official angle that brown bag lunches were a threat to the health of students who had allergies. The stories highlighted the many draconian responses to the student brown bag lunches.

Michael hasn't done anything that is not unexpectable when the Federal government controls every facet of public education. The solution is not to complain. If your complaints are attended to it just shifts the atrocities to other areas. The solution is individual only. It is to get your kids the hell out of that system, private school if you just can't abide them being around the house all day and can afford it, homeschool otherwise and the best option.

No one who is not homeless and drug dependent can't afford it. It is a matter of priorities. Almost everyone claims one's children to be his top priority. If that is actually the case then one can afford to homeschool them. Once one takes the step one finds out quickly that it is not a solitary venture, that there are others and the tasks are shared. Even the private and parochial schools cooperate.
