No longer actively complaining every day. But I betcha they aren’t eating them either.
NYT?
Remember, they believe in Obama, glow-bull warming, and Common Core.
‘Nuff said.
Move along, move along.
Roach coaches across the street?
“Behave, animals!”
That’s how I read that headline about childhood manipulation via food withholding.
My children won’t eat the spaghetti because the noodles are nasty. I have tried using whole wheat noodles at home to no avail. I get the same reaction as the school. I throw away the nasty noodles, too. Even hubby hates whole wheat noodles. That is saying something.
When I was in school, I usually bought lunch. I would drink my milk. And I would eat the dessert which was a cookie, or a piece of dried out cake, or jello with fruit inside (jello would be hard on top). Oh. If they served pizza, I would eat that. I loved the pizzas and would buy them in bulk for my children if I could find them today. Lol. The rest of those nasty lunches went into the trash day after day. I had a friend who would share her fruit and Doritos with me. I occasionally would make my own lunch, but I usually threw away my sandwiches. (I would take a ham sandwich w mayo. I didn’t realize it at the time, but that mayo was nasty. I do not buy the same brand my mother bought and can stomach the stuff a little better now.)
Anywho, I have gone to lunch at school quite a bit this last year. The children regularly say the food is nasty. Hungry, growing boys will eat the food. Medicated growing boys won’t. They just sit there and wish they were unmedicated and wish they felt like eating.
These "perceived reactions" were from 557 responses to a mailback survey sent to 1051 public school administrators and food service staff. (There are about 100,000 public schools in the US.) And the perceptions were based on the public school administrators and food service staff scoring on a Likert-type scale (1=strongly disagree through 4=strongly agree) the following statements:
"Students generally seem to like the new school lunch."
"At first, students complained about the new lunches."
"Few students complain about the new lunches."
"Most students dont seem concerned about the changes in the school lunches."
Oh, and a $100 incentive was offered for those who did respond.
The value of a fifth-column rag reporting such "suggested" conclusions from this kind of incentivized survey of a limited number of people with obvious biases is left as an exercise for the sentient reader.
Adjusting is not the same as accepting.
Amazing how liberals never understand cause and affect and unintended circumstances. Of course, the children stopped complaining. They now just throw the crap away and get what they want through other means. There are reports of kids actually engaging in a black-market for goodies. Kids do what they will.
The idiot "school administrators" and "food service personnel (lunch lady)" think this is an indicator that the kids have accepted the Moochele commie lunch program. Not at all, the kids did a run-around to get what they want. No surprise that they stopped complaining so as to continue their desires for satisfying and calorie packed foods.
Typical of NY Times to confuse the topic to forward their socialist agenda.
