Students Are Fed Up With Michelle Obama's Control Freak Ways And Now They're Hitting Back Full Force

It seems that students are fed up too with the government and/or First ladies input and demands on changes for food in schools.

I agree with the students to leave it up to the free market. If the students don't like it they will not eat it. Parents should teach their kids to eat healthy and not by not having choices.

Michele can choose how she wants her kids to eat and I'm all for more healthier food but kids are kids and if you take it away they will handle it differently and by not eating the food they don't like will make them hungry and not paying attention in class so the level will only be affected.

Michele should promote healthier food if that is what she wants to promote but by taking it out of the school systems is over stepping her binderies and kids don't take it any longer.

It's not the politicians who would be doing the fining or withholding of funds. It's the nameless, faceless civil servant. And it's foolish to believe they wouldn't go after the school. They would - in a heartbeat. Just like IRS agents go after people all the time because it's their job.

If only the voters were as concerned about government overreach.

Why can't these students pack their own lunches? They are not forced to buy their lunches from the school lunchroom.

Is Michelle running the National School Food Service Corporation now?

Is there such an entity?

What about the kids of the Obamaphone lady? What about all those inner city poverty children that have ignorant parents? Education is our saviour. We tell kids what to do and we are to set the examples. What is wrong with that?

The kids need to STHU and either eat or don't eat the damn food.

It's not a restaurant. They're there to earn an education.

No what is funny is watch RWNJ's whine about the First Lady doing the same sort of things every other First Lady has done. My God she is evil, trying to tells us we should eat healthy, what will she want us to do next, find something to do with our pitiful lives more productive than whining about people stating the obvious.

What I've been seeing frequently in the past few days of school (I'm a "lunch lady"): the kids who are the mainline lunch customers are purchasing "double lunches" - the standard government approved mainline lunch for twice the price (a lunch is $1.60). For the $3.20, they are entitled to two of everything: two entrees, two helpings of salad/vegetables, two servings of fruit, and two milks. They are taking the second entree, maybe a second milk, but foregoing that extra fruit and salad (or pitching it altogether). In other words, they're "filling up", but it is NOT on salad and fruit.

We're expecting the feds to eventually drop the boot on double lunches and forbid us to serve them.

The kids who are on free/reduced lunch are basically stuck with the lunch as is. If they want a "double", they have to pay cash for it.
