It's a stupid mandate and a waste of money.

All the MSM stories on this avoid mentioning this was Michlle’s program. Had a Republican Firsr Lady done a dud like this her name would be in every headline.

$11.1 BILLION of our Taxpayer Dollars spent on this useless boondoggle.

Mooch could’ve circumnavigated the GLOBE, carried by Cabana Boys for that amount. Where are her priorities?

*SNORT*

This is a stupid law, and congress deserves blame for passing it, as well as Michelle for proposing it.

But it’s just one more example why the Federal Gubbermint has no business getting involved in education. It should be left to the states and, more particularly, the local school districts and the parents of the children who attend the schools.

Not there there’s one chance in a million that EITHER of these two candidates would abolish the Department of Education, which should have been done long since.

"Before, there was no taste and no flavor," said Malik Barrows, a senior at Automotive High School in Brooklyn. "Now there's no taste, no flavor and it's healthy, which makes it taste even worse."

Lol! That is really funny!

Well, as Mitt asked, “is the Dept. Of education important enough to borrow money from China to pay for it?

I wouldn't eat that obomafood crap, either. I'm glad the kids are defending themselves.

“Sandra Ford, president of the School Nutrition Association, said food service directors were using a variety of strategies to get students to eat the new lunches, including asking teachers to talk about healthy food in class, conducting taste tests, handing out free samples and educating students about how their food is grown and made.

Several food service directors said the best strategy may be waiting.

“If our task is to get young kids to eat more fruits and vegetables, we have to be willing to put up with the waste,” William J. McCarthy, a professor of public health and psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles.”

Hey morons, there’s something that smart mothers have known for decades called a “casserole” to get get kids to eat vegetables. There are so many ways to incorporate healthy foods into a child’s diet. I’m not a dietitian, but even as a mom I know some of this basic, common sense stuff. (Deleted my completely racist dietary comment.)

The folly and hypocrisy of this stupid initiative just staggers me. I’m not saying every student culinary whim has to be catered to, but forcing stuff that doesn’t taste good on kids who won’t eat it isn’t accomplishing anything useful.

The solution, obviously, is to post military guards in each lunchroom to force these young uns to eat proper! I’m certain the media would support that.

“Sandra Ford, president of the School Nutrition Association”

I gave up a job because I wouldn’t spout the “Rah Rah” b.s. party line. Sandra seems to have no conscience or problem with going along with what she must know is ridiculous.

There’s no shame in rejecting lies and stupidity.

Low fat means low health.

Limiting salt is also insane, especially for physically active teens; they could easily have a heart attack from low salt intake.

Politically correct “health” will kill you.
