She's wasting her time, the White House usually gives a First Lady something like this to do to keep her busy and makes her feel important , Stephanopoulos worked in the WH when Hillary was First Lady , they gave some sort of health care plan to keep her busy, he said all she did was walk around all over the place holding a bunch of Manila folders , the staff laughed at her knowing nothing would come of what she thought she was doing Lol But it kept her busy while Billy boy was busy
Where the Obama children go to school and what they have for lunch is their parents business; just the same as what Gov. Christie told the reporters who were questioning him about where he sent his kids to school. “It’s none of your business. I don’t ask you where you send your kids to school, don’t bother me about where I send mine.”
The picture of "the garbage" that the common kids get is a very popular dish in New England called Chinese Pie. It is served in a most unappetizing manner for this photograph.....but its hands down the favorite of most kids in that region. It was a standard request for the birthday meal of one of my sons.
It is a layer of ground beef fried with onion; a layer of corn and/or creamed corn topped with a layer of mashed potatoes and baked.
I still make it....it is really delicious. (But it needs a salad or green vegetable with it to be fully nutritious.....or if you were part of the President Regan generation ..... a splash of ketchup to count as a vegetable.)
I never heard of "Chinese Pie", but it sounds like you are describing Shepherd's Pie.
I'd agree with the student's description - that picture of the "lunch" looks like dog vomit.

Chinese Pie and Shepherds Pie (American style not English) are pretty much the same thing.
The photograph shows what the photographer wanted to show....the food is slopped on the plate and made to look as unappetizing as possible. I bet they could do the same thing with what ever we are serving our families for supper tonight....if they wanted, and clearly they wanted. Imagine your meatloaf recipe, or tuna noodle casserole, or pulled pork......if they wanted to make it look like vomit they could.
Add school lunches to the list of things that were better in the good old days. But I will defend hospital food as being pretty good and not deserving a bad rap.
With Reagan, ketchup was a vegetable. With Michelle, its an entrée.

Around here they call it hamburger gravy for some lame reason. It's like comfort food, I think. And, if you throw in some gravy, and top it with tater tots instead of mashed potatoes and then bake it, it's really good!
The thing to remember is that the kids get to choose from many different things. If they selected the stuff in those pictures, it's their own fault. There are options. Look in a local paper that has the school lunch menus. They aren't what they used to be.
Man, Michelle Obama must be a time traveler! That doesn't look all that different than the slop I was served when I was in school.
But good on you - the gnashing of teeth and false outrage is just precious.
Agreed!

You know, here's the problem. Michelle Obama made healthy living her "project" like Laura Bush's literacy, Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No", etc. But Michelle did not write the standards for school lunches. The standards get revised every few years, regardless of who is first lady. But the cons started this meme about Michelle and the school lunches and now a lot of non-thinkers believe SHE set the standards herself.
