>>Why is it up to the FedGov to decide what kids eat?<<

Today the schools, tomorrow parents’ refrigerators.

If they can summarily dispense with the 9th and 10th Amendments, the 4th (already on the ropes) is a breeze.

Maybe she meant that all pork products will be removed from schools.
Dog will be served, though.

If ObamaCare can make you buy insurance, it can make you join a gym or make you buy the “right” foods

In high school I dont see how anyone could stand to eat in the cafeteria (this was mid 70’s) the stuff was truly awful.

Thank goodness for Jack in the Box and my 65 Chevy wagon.

Who’s “excited”? The kids or the food nazis?

Our two kids came home from the second day pi$$ed! No more fries, no more tater-tots, no more pizza(death for them both),made to purchase a fruit. Wife will be making their lunches at their request, “I don’t care if it’s embarrassing” our h.s. junior told us. She also asked us for extra desserts to sell.

"The local high schoolers are allowed to go off campus."

I see not much has changed. I graduated high school in '65. We rarely ate in the cafeteria. Couldn't stand the smell or the steamy environment. We used to run to the sweet shop a few blocks away every day, even during the winter, and buy our lunch. For $1.00, you could get a tuna sub, a bag of chips, a soda, and still have a nickel or two left for the juke box. Then we'd run our sorry asses back to class. Those were the days!!

Parents and kids in Texas schools are upset that there is hardly anything on the tray for the price they are paying and the kids are starving when they come home from school. One piece of pizza for a middle school boy just won’t cut it. Many are bringing their own lunches....until they are forbidden to do so because it will make the other prisoners unhappy.

I went to our local high school the other night. I do not go there very often, but showed my son the ‘designated smoking area’ where smokers could go when I was in high school in the late 70s. On school property of course.

My grandson turned it into a little side business. Can’t wait to see what he does when he goes to college.

Chicago school bans some lunches brought from home
To encourage healthful eating, Chicago school doesn’t allow kids to bring lunches or certain snacks from home — and some parents, and many students, aren’t fans of the policy

Great idea. Give the consumer what they want.

Our 6th grader told us the lunch lady yelled at him and his friends because they were laughing at all the apples in the trash can.
