Public School Kids Protest 'Let's Move' Lunches As First Daughters Get Meatball Subs, Ice Cream

With public school students using #ThanksMichelle to tweet photos of their skimpy, stomach-turning school lunches, I decided to look at what Michelle Obama's daughters are served at Sidwell Friends school, and it turns out the girls dine on lunches from menus designed by chefs.

While the Obama daughters have enjoyed dishes like chicken coconut soup, local butternut squash soup, crusted tilapia, they also get their fill of what Mrs. Obama might consider junk food.

This week, for example, they'll enjoy meatball subs, BBQ wings, and ice cream, in addition to chicken curry, deviled egg salad and the intriguing "Chef's Choice."

Sidwell Friends has even been rated the #1 School Lunch program in America.

If you served that public school lunch in a prison there would be 97 lawsuits filed the following morning.

“’Let’s Move’ Lunches”

That’s truth in advertising, I suppose, but they might want to rethink the name.

The presidents spouse has no authority to make rules for anything. No more so than the spouse of a hired manager of any company. Michelle should shut up and tend to her family.

This reminds me of a story in which Chin Hui-ti, who reigned as emperor of China in the late third century AD was told that his subjects did not have enough rice to eat. He is said to have responded, "why don't they eat meat?"

there might even be a riot, like the one that broke out in the Alcatraz cafeteria many moons ago...

It’s almost like rich people get better stuff than the average Joe.

Is that pic of sub-ghetto Shepherd’s pie really what our kids are forced to eat?

How about “beef nuggets,” under-cooked cheese pizza, “cheese sticks,” etc. as the main course...

On a positive note, also served on occasion is a decent salad, Romaine mixed with iceberg lettuce, and watered-down low-fat ranch dressing. Sometimes, rather than canned fruit or “flavored” applesauce, there is fresh fruit, such as half an apple, half an orange or one of those little oranges, or a banana.

I hated the lunches served at my elementary school so much that I would bike to my grandmother’s house and she would fix lunch for me. Even if it was Chef Boy-Ar-Dee raviolis, if was tastier than the slop that they served at school.

They served baked beans that smelled so bad that they made me nauseous. The cook lived around the corner from me, and I was amazed that one of my classmates would stop at her house on the way home from school on bean day and buy a quart of beans to take home to her family.

Another priceless offering was hard boiled eggs soaked in beat juice to color them pink. Ugh!

They’d serve themselves better using all of that outrage to protest the fact that private school kids are getting superior educations too.
