Well, maybe the caf at the Senate and House could serve the same food to our legislators in Washington instead of US Senate Navy Bean Soup? And nothing else.

LOL...when parents won’t even make kids do homework, so the schools are dropping it, who but the clueless bureaucrat in the USDA, who wrote this directive, thinks families will be previewing the lunch room menus?

Fill your kids with cabbage and beans, then send them off to school.
Let's let them know how we really feel.

I just want to tell the Wookie that I will agree to her diet right away.
You know; the lobster drowned in butter, the Kobi beef in a 4 pound serving, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

"I’m encouraging my daughter to sell snack food at school. Black marketing skills will come in handy soon.

Black markets tend to thrive under communist governments, don't they?

I was finally able to access the comments from my desktop computer. Thanks for alerting me to them. They were pretty funny, and absolutely right on the money.

The link below is for ONE SCHOOL in Wisconsin where 58% of the kids have subsidized lunches:

http://www.fox11online.com/dpp/news/local/on_assignment/school-lunch-waste-costing-taxpayers

Do a search on your state and you will find tons of waste related to these force-fed lunches and what it’s costing the taxpayers of your state.

The program, nation-wide, has cost us $11.1 BILLION FOR ONE YEAR!

Wouldn’t making old people into Soylent Green be more efficient and profitable? *SNORT*

Speaking of which - WHO is getting the ‘kickbacks’ for this forced program? Follow the money, as always!

Thanks for the hotlink.

From that article I pulled this nugget: “ - - - “Education is a key component to getting the kids to realize why they’re eating the fruits and vegetables,” said Baier. - - - “

Does this sound like THE BIG BAD GOVERNMENT trying to regulate and control all of the poor, stupid, helpless zombie-kids?

When do the Zombie-Parents step up and take responsibility for feeding their own zombie-kids?

Schools have been lunch restaurants long enough for this conclusion to be made: Education is the role of schools, NOT being a supplier of food!

End the dual mandate for schools!

Leave the feeding of children to their parents!

BTW, if children grow up and graduate from schools that do not have a “free lunch,” just imagine how that will affect them as adults to not expect “free lunches” from THE BIG BAD GOVERNMENT.

Exactly! Make them dependent upon Mother Government as early as possible, then make it Generational! How the Masses fail to SEE this, is beyond me. Well, not really. 50+ years of ‘Dumbing Down the Electorate’ has brought us to this.

Democrats are evil, self-serving b@stards. There. I said it. Out loud and everything. ;)

It’s hard for the statist to control what adults eat. They have to start by indoctrinating the young children.
