Some schools have practically outlawed brownbagging, though.
Indeed some schools have outlawed brownbagging or they inspect the lunch and confiscate foods that are banned in school!
Although I’d love to blame Michele for this tragedy, but a lot of this rests with parents who either don’t cook or don’t eat properly in the home themselves.
Case and point was when my nephew and his wife stopped over for lunch with the kids one day. The little buggers wouldn’t eat the food in front of them. They just kept picking at it, getting up from the table, walking away, coming back as though they hoped it would change. I got pissed and picked up their plates and threw the food away. I told them if you are not hungry, then you don’t eat here. No snacks, no chips, no soda, nothing but a glass of water. I thought I had put together a fun lunch of minicorn dogs, potato salad, fruit salad w/honey etc. Stuff kids should eat fairly readily...these two wouldn’t even really taste it. Picked the cornbread off the dogs and stared at them like they were some alien food.
Sure some of what Michelle is pushing is not impressive at all, but some of this goes back to the parenting in the home and teaching kids to eat right. Just look at the EBT cart next month and tell me why a kid would eat fruits/veggies?
Just another reason we should turn the kids over to the government to raise as parents can’t teach kids to eat right. /sarc.
