Do any of these nanny statists remember how much stuff they ate when they were teenagers?
Nanny State PING!
A local radio host volunteered at the cafeteria of his daughter’s school. Chris talked about working the salad bar. Repeatedly kids would walk up and ask for just the grated cheese.
My daughter feeds her children what they will eat. She encourages them to eat certain items but she is not a food nazi.

Look people. The government doesn’t care if 100% of us hate it, it’ll be a “mixed grade” and nothing will happen to change it back.
Sorry, but I’ve seen the eating Moo does “on the road” WITH her kids, Goose and Gander stuff. Don’t tell US what to eat when you’re eating out all the time.

If my children were in elementary school, they would not be having their lunch bags examined, nor having their food or drink I packed tossed.
The lunches provided by schools are probably the worst nutrition-wise a child could eat. It’s all processed crap.
Having a kid that plays high school football, I know the school lunches don’t begin to cover the calories burned working out daily.
I was underweight as a child because of severe asthma.
Does this idiot Michelle realize there are other kids that may have different dietary needs?
I hypothesize that there is, in fact, a rebound effect in which children who are deprived of the food they want to eat at school and are forced to eat nothing but “healthy” food then go home and overeat to make up for the feelings of deprivation they experienced at school.
It looks like a fairly easy hypothesis to test.
That's not going to work for the 6'7" 270 lb defensive end. He will take what he needs.
My kids are among the brown-bag rebel brigade. I have been packing more lunches this year than I can ever remember.
It’s going to be a hoot to see how New Yawkers respond to Little Mikey Bloomer’s and his Big Gulp Nazis’ ban on soft drinks.
Recently we were invited to school to have lunch with our grandson. When we met up with him and ask what was for lunch, he told us all he would get was the milk because the rest of the food was “garbage”..(his words)..We decided to give the food a try....he was correct - it was garbage. We threw ours away, he drank his milk and I’m sure he is starving by the time he gets home.
This is a starvation diet..plain and simple.
They interviewed a high school athlete who purchases school lunch the other day.
His meal is capped at 850 calories, but his chemistry teacher calculated that he burns about 3000 calories in school between class, weight-lifting, and football practice ...
He states that his energy level has gone way down since these new regulations have been put in place ...
Nice goin’, Michelle ...
--food vendors are 'wasting' MILLIONS because of this dictated menu reformulationinfo provided by three districts consisting of 3 HS, 7 Middle schools, 16 elementary schools.
--students are THROWING away these new offerings
--nutrition is adversely affected
--schools ARE losing money (many self supported) as school lunches are WAY DOWN
--the purported 'free' breakfest/lunch programs are a sham as nutrition is not adequately provided
My six year old granddaughter,all 38 pounds of her,is starving when she gets home from school.
