School officials in Carmel Clay, Ind., said they lost $300,000 last school year because students are rejecting the healthy menu changes brought on by First Lady Michelle Obama’s federal lunch regulations....
[snip] Amy Anderson, the food service director for the school district, said the rules made her feel less like an educator and more like a “food cop.” The changes have even made her consider retiring early.
[snip] “They’re teaching our kids with this meal pattern that it’s OK to throw away,” she told JCOnline. “We did a waste study on three different schools, and there was a huge amount of waste. That was just with produce, fruit or vegetables or milk.”
Other students don’t eat the lunches at all, resulting in a $300,000 loss for the district.

So much for trying to change the pattern Midwest meat and potatoe eaters.
wanna bet moochelle does not meddle in the school menu for Sidwell Friends?
wanna bet the Wgite House will never serve school lunch menu at a White House party?
wanna bet the obama tribe never ate canned green beans while jetting around the world on Air Force One?
Refuse to buy? I was under the impression that school meals were subsidized by you and I ...i.e. free to the students.
Well they are saving money on lost lettuce!
Carmel-Clay would be a very affluent area. Those kids would not be listening to Moochelle and her healthy crap meal agenda.
These are mostly wealthy kids and probably smarter than in most areas. LOL
Well, obviously Obama needs to issue an Executive Order requiring that these stubborn Hoosiers be required to purchase and eat the meals Michelle has deemed healthy.
Another reason for the separation of School and State!
Yeah, well............they seem to take money from everyone for anything.
Many schools are preventing the students from going home and bringing lunch bags.

there could be a mandate to force feed the kids, perhaps,
kinda like Gitmo
but with healthy foods.... like cardboard waffles and canned green beans
I’ll skip the whole concept of subsidizied meals but my daughter’s school changed to ‘healthy’ lunches and most were dumped. Then to add insult to injury, the kids buy chips and candy after school at the Walgreens. In Illinois the food stamp card covers this.
RESIST WE NOT MUNCH!!!
they eat veggies while she eats on our dime and her family too eat ribs, lobster and fry ups.
Not for all students. When she doesn't bring her lunch, my daughter pays for hers.
Most of the school lunches are not prepared by the school cafeteria staff. Most lunches are prepared and delivered by caterers under crony-capital friend/relative type sole source contracts. They are delivered in hot tubs or trays that can be microwaved at the site. Generally, the cafeteria staff only microwaves and serves the crap. The best bet for all school systems would be to drop the Dept of Ag school lunch program completely. For a few cents more they could cut the paperwork, sole source contracts and headaches and provide decent lunches that are actually eaten. Many schools are finally realizing this. Additionally, subsidized or free lunches should mandate proof of need or else you pay or supply your own lunch.
