When I was in school, kids that bused in from rural areas brought their own lunch, and the rest of us walked home to eat. The school on occasion would host a hot dog day or a pizza day where you could buy a hot dog or pizza for a bucks or two, and we were able to get a small carton of chocolate milk (or a milkshake) every day for a quarter.
In high school, most kids would get french fries with gravy or a hamburger from the cafeteria. A lot of us would either walk home for lunch or go to the pizza place down the street for something different.
Of course, this was also in the 80's when parents weren't deathly afraid of perverts hiding around every corner and we were expected to play outside a great deal of the time. Summers were spent swimming, catching frogs, playing ball and riding bikes all over town. The only rule we had was to make sure we were home when the streetlights came on. As such, nobody was really concerned about obesity, because back then kids weren't obese.
Now these same kids I grew up with are raising their kids to shun exercise and be terrified of boogeymen in the world around them. Funny how times have changed that way.
I just see a bunch of whiny kids complaining about their school lunches..... something that has been occurring since the invention of school lunches.....
Whining about school lunches is a kids prerogative.
Put the blame where it belongs, on those school districts that are clueless in preparing nutritious & edible lunches that are within federal guidelines. It's not hard.
End the Department of Education now.
Should have never been created in the first place, it's not the job of the Feds.
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.
Well too bad!
I bet the starving kids over the world would eat it.
Ungrateful things.
I really do not understand this.......
If they do not want to eat school lunch then why don't they make their own damn brown bag lunches?
Maybe these latchkey kids should have their absent mommy make them a box lunch the night before, if they can get her to do it before she spends her night on facebook chatting with old boyfriends or get their babydaddy to take a break from his Xbox and do it.
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.
