They always use that as an excuse....for telling other what to eat, and when they should eat, and where they should eat....so does the CDC, and other media groups that always say, "Tests show"., however, they don't know how long the tests were done, where they were done and by whom, tests cannot show that much, b/c it takes years and years of collecting all kinds of people, tests, and research, however, most people are way to far gone to understand that.

Please show me.
The only person who has mentioned Chicj-Fil-A is the author of the article, and the OP fell for it.

1. In fact, a quick perusal of articles about school lunches where Mrs. O's edicts are in place, sure makes it sound like those kids aren't "hunger free"--because they're tossing the junk in the trash, and kids playing sports don't have enough energy to last the day.

2. More SH (stunning hypocrisy)--telling the rest of us what to eat (and, more specifically, what not to eat), while the prez and his wife still tie up traffic making their burger runs to the Burger Shack for.... burgers and Obama's favorite coconut shakes. The Burger Shack, BTW, whose employees have now been sworn to secrecy about just what "health food" they're ordering there.

Memo to Mrs. O: stay the opposite of heaven out of life and out of my refrigerator.

1. If those athletes didn't throw away their lunches, and ate them, they would have more energy. The majority of any school body are not athletes, and athletes can always pack a snack for before practice.

2. No one is telling you, an adult, what you may or may not eat. This is about the calories in SCHOOL snacks. Unless you are in school this has nothing to do with YOUR eating habits. Even if you are in school it has nothing to do with what you can eat, only what schools can sell. You are free to bring whatever you want to eat.

Mrs. O is not in your life or your fridge.

One million kids have stopped eating school lunches because of Michelle's policies about what can and cannot be served in school lunchrooms, which shows it's being rejected by the kids that had these new rules pushed on them.

So what's going to happen? My 9 year old nephew is starving when he gets home from school. These hungry kids are going to overeat on whatever is around the house when they get home from school and childhood obesity will continue to rise. What do you expect when they get this for lunch:


#ThanksMichelle
Why don't you make a good lunch for your child that they can bring with them, you love your child and are concerned with their diet, don't you? It is called taking some personal responsibility for yourself and your children.

If she is in their child's life, she is in their life.

If you back Michelle, then she to affects your life....
Karma has a way of working itself out....
If you do harm to others, it will be returned to you
If you do good to others, it to will be returned to you
Michelle, or Obama needs to do right by this country instead of living everyone else's life for them....
Get to the real issues of this country and stop telling people what to eat.
How to exercise, etc....

and by the way, on your comment
"FALSE, so illogical" that is all anyone can hope for, is that she quietly goes away, her and Obama, taking along their over 400,000 a year for life.

Why in the world I ever voted for someone with a name like Obama is beyond me....however, at least on his second term, I wised up.

Your kids throw fruits and carrots in the trash? Mine don't. Guess I taught them better.
