Who even gave her authority to dictate what should be in school lunches? She is nothing except a communist just like Hussein and Hillary. Only the other two are actual politicians. They were all under the tutelage of Alinsky in Chicago. That is how Obama got started in politics. Most kids won't eat collard greens if they don't eat that at home.

Students slam Michelle O with photos of skimpy school lunches - EAGnews.org

I'm not on Twitter so I can't check there and I don't have kids to send me a photo from their phones but there are a few photos at the link above. I see future Republican/Libertarian voters in my crystal ball...

Oh wait, here's a link to more of the photos:

First of all, she advocates for eating healthy and this pic is far from that. And I don't feel a bit sorry for these kids. Why do they feel entitled to a free lunch and then complain about it. Why can't they just bring their own.

My cousin's wife is a grade school teacher. She said it's awful and the kids have to go hungry. Like hell, I'd have my yum-yums in my freaking jacket and ask to go to the bathroom or nurses office and stuff my face while on the way.

No...parents will continue to blame the gub-ment busybodies who set the federal guidelines.

Memo to kids: Bring your own lunch to school. Hopefully, the food Nazis aren't searching your lunch bag for contraband like a [gasp!] candy bar or can of pop.

I don't believe that at all. Why are you blaming this on schools when the parents could provide their lunch.

And just like your kid, Obama's kids go to a private school where they do not have these crazy meals or policies.

Hmm, but wait, Moochelle wants it for the public but her own kids dont follow it...hmmm

Something is wrong in Denmark.

Yeah, I didn't realize that so I edited my post to add the second link.

But good on you - the gnashing of teeth and false outrage is just precious.
If that looks like what you got in school, does that look like the amount of food you paid for?

Obviously, these kids had better food before, prepared by the same cafeteria staff, or they wouldn't be complaining.

I wonder how many of them will be 18 by 2016? Might be a good item for Libertarian Rand Paul to campaign on.

None of it looks appetizing to me (and that can be blamed on the school districts) but those "skimpy" portions are right on. Doesn't look so to Americans, who manage to gulp down far too many calories per day...and prove it through our obesity rates. Most single restaurant meals served here could feed at least a couple, if not more, very comfortably.
