Third world countries serve better lunches than in America thanks to Marie Antoinette Obama. I would love to see photos of lunches at Sidwell where the Obama children attend. From the lunch menus that have been posted it is not what public school students eat.

This Admin benefits from hungry children. Malleable youth will more quickly toe the line if it means their hunger will be sated. And yes, Sidwell Friends students may as well be sitting at Spago or Maxims.

Most American children would trash the healthy foreign meals because all they want is fast food.

I am more than just a little suspicious of a lot of those photos ...

[Jack Hammer]

Hey, come on - those foreign kids only wish they could get boiled kale and raw celery.

Michelle is just doing to our kids what Obama is doing to adults: feeding us shit, and expecting us to like it.

“Not enough”? Michele Obama is the PROBLEM (or at least part of it). Whatever you thought of them before, school lunches are far worse than before she” butted” in. Why is it when goobermint meddling fails it’s because there wasn’t ENOUGH?

As I've said before, the school lunches I observe in NYC high school cafeterias consist basically of some square or rectangle of breaded chicken or fish that was frozen (and not much of that), overcooked veggies or salad consisting mostly of lettuce that hardly anyone takes, very small fruits no one would choose in a grocery store (plum-sized apples, for example), packaged cut up fruit or applesauce, sometimes rice (if a lot of Hispanic students are in the school), wraps consisting mostly of the tortilla with a small amount of something to fill it, pasta with a little meat or cheese clinging to it, etc., and a carton of milk. Not very appetizing. I'm sure prisoners get better food. No wonder half of it goes right into the rolling garbage cans, untouched. As a taxpayer, I absolutely cringe at all the dollars paid for this food ending up right in the garbage can, and the amount of money the students then spend buying junk food at the vending machines right in the cafeteria. Chips, cookies, candy---that's their lunch.

It is VERY rare that I see a student bring a lunch from home. You don't see ANY lunch boxes/bags. Absolutely none. Sometimes you see students bring in Subway or similar sandwiches.

That's public school food.

Where is the money for the school lunch program going? Not for food, apparently.

The entrée in the American dish looks like vomit.

[The Great RJ]

US school lunches remind me of Vladmir Voinovich's satiric novel Moscow 2042 where he wrote that true communism would be achieved when primary matter (food) equaled secondary matter (feces).

WHO DIDN'T FINISH THEIR LUNCH?

[KosmicKitty]

Geeze, even Cuba’s lunches look better.

In fact, just looking at the lunches from around the world has made me hungry!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Almost any lunch from home would be better than the stuff Mooch is pushing.

Personally I don’t think the schools other than maybe elementary school should even have cafeteria’s. Bring your own or have a sandwich vending machine and drink machine.

[null and void]

Our are worse that Cuba’s.

Mission Accomplished.

What did Mooschelle's children have for school lunch today?

[DoodleDawg]

Steak. Brie. Baked chicken breast. Shrimp. Salmon. Would the school lunches pre-Obama have compared well against foreign lunches? I highly doubt it.

[Steve_Seattle]

Why are most of those meals served in exactly the same style of Styrofoam plate? I think this is a setup.

[workerbee]

Again — it’s real hard for me to get worked up about this. Pack a lunch or quit complaining. And the grousing about Sidwell Friends’ lunch offerings is on par with the left demanding the Bush twins be sent to the front lines.

Moo's girls eat this at Sidwell:
