Wow. Total reading comprehension fail. Try reading the thread slower. He wasn't calling the kids liars at all.

Social media is like a sandbox for kids to play in. It's not serious.

I am just curious as to why a school that serves beverages in glass stemware can't afford appealing looking food.

I believe M outlawed Pizza day.

I remember when school lunches were both delicious and healthy. Oh wait, no, that never happened.

I still remember the cookies from elementary school that we would put on the table, then attempt to break by banging the trays into them (didn't work). I remember the grade x burgers of middle school. In high school they served exactly the same disgusting meal every day - a cheap dried out fried chicken thigh.

the gross looking lunch may not have anything to do with Michelle Obama's lunch program and more to do with incompetent cooks at the school. In the middle school I went to, the school lunches were absolutely gross (way worse than the twitter photos) and this was thirteen years before Michelle Obama's program was even in place.

The kids are suffering food tyranny of Michelle Obama, and they are fighting back online. Next they'll pull things off the shelf that Michelle Obama doesn't approve of and have us thanking "dear leader" for the food.

I remember similar goulash type food in high school, back in the 70's. It had nothing to do with politics then or now. Kids who were hungry ate it. The content of our hamburgers at that time was 50% oatmeal and were actually quite good. Many brought the dried out Bologna sandwich from home and tossed it.

School districts are free to opt out of federal nutritional guidelines any time they want to forgo federal funding.
School districts are free to set their own menus in accordance with federal nutritional guidelines. Some districts do a better job with funding than others.

A truly hungry child will eat what is put in front of them.

Parents are free to pack a lunch for their kids.

If it were up to me I would eliminate all school - provided meals.

It's on menu within my school district which has not opted out of public funding of school lunch program.

it tends to be loaded with vegetables, under low fat cheese.

Teens have two hands - they can't make their own lunch? I did when the school lunch was too disgusting to eat. Pre-Michelle Obama, by the way. #ThanksHillaryClinton ?

I was also on reduced lunch for part of high school due to financial struggles in my family. There were days I didn't eat because of the crap that was served - nary a vegetable in sight! No one cried over me.
