You should be thanking "Liberals" for wanting to help eradicate child obesity in this country which is through the roof. But hey it's your children, let them grow up to be fat, get a disease that their insurance policy won't cover and die. The party of "individual liberty/responsibility" should not complain when their children die from a preventable disease.
So in your mind every child who eats a burger for lunch at school instead of some tofu chicken will grow up fat and get a disease?? LOL.

I understand you don't have a problem with feeding your children at a fast food establishment, after all this the preferred dining of choice for most Americans. Poor eating habits start at home at an early age. Please save the theatrics for you crazy conservative friends. It doesn't work on us sensible people. Of course eating one burger won't kill you but statistics are quite clear. American children are eating one too many burgers...thank God I had a mother who cooked health three course meals in the midst of the tv dinner phenomenon. I see more people in the frozen food section than whole foods.
Only these loons in office could screw stuff up so bad. Not to mention most of the food bought and tossed away is probably from folks on free lunch programs so that is just our tax dollars being dumped into the pooper yet again. The rest scour the halls looking for some thugs in the corner selling bags of frito's out of the camera's eye.
"Among other complaints, Vanderbok said salads dated Oct. 7 were served Oct. 17. (Binkle said the dates indicate when the food is at its highest quality, not when it goes bad. They have been removed to avoid misinterpretation.) On campus, even adults — including a Junior ROTC officer and an art teacher — have been found selling black market candy, chips and instant noodles to hungry students, she said.
students stream into the cafeteria to check out the day's fare: black bean burgers, tostada salad, fresh pears and other items on a new healthful menu introduced this year by the Los Angeles Unified School District.
But Iraides Renteria and Mayra Gutierrez don't even bother to line up. Iraides said the school food previously made her throw up, and Mayra calls it "nasty, rotty stuff." So what do they eat? The juniors pull three bags of Flamin' Hot Cheetos and soda from their backpacks.
"This is our daily lunch," Iraides says. "We're eating more junk food now than last year."
I'd like to blame Michelle Obama but the fact is this has been going on for some time now. Here's an article from 2006 from the Seattle Times about a high school student called 'the Candy Man' who violated school rules by selling candy after the school removed all candy from vending machines. He got busted once but was cut slack because the principal had a craving for Almond Joys. Local News | Crafty "Candyman" a sweet sight at school where treats are banned | Seattle Times Newspaper

At least these kids are learning black-market sales skills. They're going to need that if we have another 4 years of Obamanomics.
When are liberals ever going to get a clue about the law of unintended consequences?
Never. The lessons we learned from Prohibition is ancient history to people. Worse still, most people probably don't know what Prohibition was and why it would be relevant to today.
This is nothing new. this was going on in the 80's when I was in grade school...........

School lunch nannyism creates new black market: junk food and candy.
