School Board President Ditches Michelle Obama's Lunch Program: She's Been 'Elected By No One'

Local school districts in Wisconsin are opting out of the onerous school lunch guidelines that have been pushed largely by First Lady Michelle Obama as part of her campaign to fight obesity, choosing instead to make their own guidelines about proper food nutrition at the local level.

Yeah, I love how all these first spouses get taxpayer-funded staff, and act as if their opinions are somehow more significant than some random private individual.
