Why not just give them enough to eat at lunch?


Even if it’s a big lunch, a normal kid will probably be hungry again a couple hours after they eat it.

Aren’t snacks counter to the wookies’ stop obesity program?


A snack doesn’t mean it has to be a case of Ding Dongs. It can be an apple.

Back in the 1950s and ‘60s most schools had a privately owned ice cream shop near that served hotdogs and hamburgers to those students who chose not to eat at the school cafeteria.

The “closed Campus” policies of the 1970s killed off that competition.

“’We understand that change is difficult,’ Vilsack said. ‘Some folks love it, some folks have had questions about it, but that’s to be expected when you’re dealing with 32 million children and you’re dealing with over a hundred thousand school districts.’”

But, one size fits all. That is the message you get. Just like healthcare. Yeah, changing from Freedom to tyranny is difficult.

I remember my grammar school years (1952-60). Every week we paid our milk money charge. Every day we had one container of milk in class. We were allowed to bring a snack from home too, and I always brought saltine crackers spread with butter.

What else could it be? Michelle should know that no two kids have the same caloric needs.

Yeah, back then you went to the grammar school in your neighborhood. Ours was about 5 minutes from our house. We used to go home for lunch everyday. One of my favorites was tomato soup and a bottle of Nehi Cherry soda. Don't ask me why, but I liked having a slice or two of bologna, and dip it in the soup before eating it. I was a very picky eater back then, and the thought of doing that with bologna and tomato soup today turns my stomach.

It’s already happening. In one school, I think in Mass, a kikd brought chocolate sauce to school and was selling it for a quarter a shot.
