Don’t tell me it’s another one of Moo-chelle Obama’s “Let’s MOO” program.
Does the money go to the Congressional Brothels,
ACORN, or just the DNC?
Now, now. You're obviously a neanderthal who doesn't know that true freedom consists only of the right to use the "f-word" and to be homosexual. [/sarcasm]
This is literally the issue of whether the federal government can force a person to buy broccoli.
Unbelievable.
My kids love veggies. They couldn’t possibly serve as many veggies as my kids would be happy to eat. But they will barf onto Michelle Obama’s fat lap anything she tries to shove down their throats against their will.
I really need to talk to my husband about homeschooling. I’ve wanted to do it forever
Wouldnt this be like Obama care where they are requiring you to purchase something?
One of the Supremes while reviewing Obamacare mentioned us being forced to buy brocolli....When wull people stand up...
They demand fruits and vegetables, while the cafeteria still serves the pink slime.
at least have a receptacle for the unwanted fruit to give to the needy instead of throwing it away...“If a student refuses to take the fruit or vegetable, the cafeteria employees will have to charge an a la carte fee, which typically is higher because the lunch will not be reimbursable under federal guidelines.”
What happens if the kid brings an apple or an orange from home?
And underweight kids will have to buy french fries, pizza, and ice cream, right?
I looked eagerly for the “semi-satire” website link for this post, but alas, there wasn’t one!
When this was being passed into law, did anyone stand up in Congress (or outside, for that matter) and say that this is not the govt’s business?
The obligatory menu. It starts in public school, but it won’t end there.
Another Reason to Home School (while paying for the public schools’ waste)
Why not require jogging?
It’s healthy and would lower medical costs, right?
You know what? The Left is VERRRRY comfortable with use of force —extravagantly so.
Which US political party send a whole ethnic group to PRISON as a matter of policy...?
The food is FREE! Now the commies can tell you what to eat that’s FREE.
I suspect some kids will do what I did when I had had enough of the cafeteria swill in high school - sneak off campus and hit a fast food joint or local quick eatery. My senior year I used to hit this little Cantonese place at least twice a week for the lunch buffet.
Never on a Friday, though. On Fridays we’d usually hang out in my buddy’s van and split a six-pack of Mickey’s widemouths. Made study hall a heck of lot more fun, I tell ya. :-)
Control-freak “liberals” hate freedom.
Who profits? This is not about student health, it’s about money. Who get rich from this?
Forget taxes. The left has decided to force you to spend your own money on things they want.
Woohoo... individual mandate... Romney loves it too
This has nothing to do with health anyway. Veggies in schools are usually boiled to death and all traces of vitamins are gone. The fruit is canned in heavy syrup for increased sugar and carbs. This is beyond stupid and what’s worse is, most parents will agree and say, “I’m glad because you never eat enough veggies”etc.
