As many as 1,000 students at a New Jersey high school are expected to boycott their cafeteria today to protest the Obama administration’s new lunch guidelines that many teenagers say are leaving them hungry. Instead of purchasing their lunch in the cafeteria, many students at Parsippany Hills High School are brown-bagging it – upset over smaller portions and higher prices. “We’re asking everybody not to buy lunch or anything from the cafeteria,” student Brandon Faris told the Parsippany Patch. Faris, a 17-year-old senior and junior Nicholas Caccavale, organized the strike and more than 1,000 of their classmates have joined a

The future is now my friend. Welcome to Obamatopia.
This is another campaign issue being gift-wrapped and handed to Romney.
You know, if you don’t like what they’re serving in the cafeteria then bring your lunch from home. Problem solved.
Obama “Truth” Team shortly to issue statement saying Obama food rules are Bush’s fault.
Meanwhile, the Obamas are constantly seen stuffing their faces with endless amounts of rich, delicious foods - paid for by the taxpayers.
This is all funny from a far, but I will add:
It was Al and Tipper Gore who put me on the path towards Conservatism when they tried to ban music with offensive lyrics (why we now have warning labels).
These kids are getting first-hand experience with Fascists and it will leave a detectable mark for the rest of their lives.
Wouldn’t suprise me anymore. It fits right in with the soda restrictions.
Hey, come on, kids; you know only too well that salads, celery sticks, carrot sticks, yogurt, and steamed organic veggies are the best thing with which to worship the Temple of the Body.
Huh?
What’s that?
Who... me?
No, I can’t stand that flavorless health food sh*t either.
(And.. pssst... by the way - neither can the president’s wife.)
I bet if an unbiased nutritionist were to analyze the food and food portions, I’d be betting they meal sizes are closer to 500 calories. That would explain why it’s not enough food and the kids stay hungry.
Im betting somebody is skimming a couple hundred calories off each meal for profiteering purposes.
It’s not allowed by these profiteers of the public purse.
Many moms have made their kids nutritionally-acceptable brown bag lunches, only to have thrown away under pretenses.
Unfortunately the food monitors will check and if it isn’t in their eyes nutritionable, they’ll throw it out.
Make sure it’s air popped, ok?
I don’t think there’s an ulterior motive, unless you count pure hunger for power. But that’s behind everything they do. The thing is they genuinely want to help kids with two contradictory problems: obesity and not exactly undernourishment but less than optimal eating. Because they are leftists the way to do so is to assume the role of parent.
Most likely, because they are incompetent and because of the inherent shortcomings of central planning they will probably make more kids fat and more hungry.
Nah. The fake cheese orange kind. LOL

Where I live, outside food is forbidden and has been for years since the cafeterias were built. Now THAT is fascist.
You’re on to something. Despite all the efforts of the administration and teachers union these kids may actually learn how the market works to their advantage.
The local McDonald's, Wendy's, DunkinDonuts, etc... will see an increase of business either during lunch or after school.
Queen Michelle is NOT amused.
She can go suck an egg...
Same here. I went all 12 years to Catholic schools in Detroit in the 50s. We brown bagged it every day. There were four of us kids. We could buy milk in the hallways; I never saw a cafeteria. Never left the house without some kind of home made breakfast. Mom was a stay-at-home, and dad was cop. If they could do that, so can these people today.
Now my kids can - during school - open the refrigerator to grab lunch. Home schooling is better!!
