What an idiot she is. She thinks the government can solve any problem when in fact all they do is make it worse. Michelle represents the epitome of failed Big Government programs.
-----------------------
Since the new limits on calories, fat, sugar, sodium, whole wheat, and other nutritional elements went into effect in 2012, at least 1.2 million students nationwide have dropped out of the National School Lunch Program in favor of packed lunches from home.

The changes also spawned massive food waste – roughly $1 billion per year – because of regulations that stipulate that all students must receive a fruit or vegetable each day, which most simply toss in the trash.

The waste has been a serious problem in many school districts, one of many reasons hundreds of U.S. schools have ditched the National School Lunch Program to serve students food they’ll actually eat.

There are BIGGER ISSUES in our public schools than if some teacher gave the kids a piece of fricken candy.

GD this kind of **** pisses me off.

Instead of focusing on the REAL problems in our schools, we have a bunch of busy bodies aholes trying to dictate the dumbest, tiniest, none of their damn business "issues" in our schools.

It's a good thing that we are not allowed to truly say what we want to say because I would rip some extremist liberal backside up one side and down the other right now were I allowed.

KNOCK IT OFF! Mind your own ******* business!

The fact of the matter is, this policy IS an extremist leftist policy.
Clamor | Definition of clamor by Merriam-Webster

Quote:
: insistent public expression (as of support or protest)
: to become loudly insistent <clamored for his impeachment>
It's not an insult. It's an word describing your actions. An insult would be if I were to a say "Clamoring like an errant fool", but I didn't say that.

Our agriculture and food system subsidizes manufactured nutritionless food in ways that real agriculture and natural foods aren't subsidized.
So, let's stop all farm subsidies.

Once again, why do you think I don't know how cows and chickens are raised commercially?

How'd you get so confused in your own thread?

DPS' 185 schools serve 80k meals / day.

Kepner's food quality had been slipping. They're improving -- nothing to do w/ Fed guidelines. Or Michelle Obama.

DPS also has an impressive school farm program.

Duh! Most of us have known that for decades.

How the right wing can justify being against nutritious school lunches because they don't like Mrs. Obama is beyond me.
They don't. So your confusion is solved. I totally support kids having nutritious school lunches.
