HASKELL, Okla. – A chicken patty, small scoop of mashed potatoes and carton of milk aren’t enough to sustain a high school boy.
But under the school lunch regulations championed by First Lady Michelle Obama, that’s what Haskell High School served recently.
Haskell High School senior Darrel Bunch took a photo of one of his recent skimpy school lunches and sent it to Fox 23.
“It’s mostly the portions,” Bunch says. “Last year we started getting less food.”
“Last year, my boys started calling me, ‘Can you please bring me something to eat?’ ‘We’re still hungry,’ or, ‘This is gross,” the student’s mother, Cheryl Bunch tells the news station.
Another photo taken by a different student showed a single cheese-filled bread stick with marinara sauce.
"When they serve a bread stick and marinara, it’s like, ‘Here, I’ve given up on trying to find you something nutritious and healthy,'” Cheryl Bunch says.
The school refused to allow the news station to show that day’s lunch servings. They wouldn’t even speak on camera.
Haskell superintendent Sharon Herrington defended the lunches off-camera, saying students are offered five items and they are required to take three. That means the chicken patty, glob of potatoes and milk would qualify as a complete lunch under the federal rules.

I was praying that the word “bikini” did not come after the word “Michelle” in that title.
Milk is a vegetable now.
Yummo! Let’s Move!
Michelle Obama is a vegetable, as far as I’m concerned. I won’t be eating her any time soon. Yuck!
Tells you a lot, that the defenders of this Short Lunch style won’t be directly quoted or have their picture taken.
Shouldn’t they be proud of the nutritional mess they’re making?
Why is anything the “First Lady” endorses being acted upon by school districts as if it were law?
You can tell by her ample backside that she doesn’t eat anything like the kids lunches.
thank god I finished high school in the 90s! We had good lunches then. Loved the pizza day. They sold cinnabons. I knew a teachers aid who would get me junk food from the machine in the teachers lounge.
Me, too. At first all I saw was “skimpy Michelle” and almost lost it.
You will take what is given to you, comrade and don’t complain. It is for the greater glory of socialism!

There's nothing more pathetic than the notion of having your government serve you lunch. If people can't even do this themselves, then we are truly a country of misfits and losers.
If you want the government to feed you, then you take whatever the government serves you. In fact, I look forward to the day when school lunch trays are handed out from the back of a dump truck loaded with government cheese. Maybe we'll figure it out by then.
Frikkin’ pig liberal. What else would we expect from such trash?
Zero is just preparing the future FEMA camp detainees To fondly remember and appreciate the wookie lunch choices instead of the gruel they will be getting....
