First lady Michelle Obama’s lunch room mandates for schools around the nation have now received a bit of a public relations boost from retired admirals and generals who say: They’re not a bad idea.

Mission:Readiness — a consortium of about 500 retired and former members of the military who held high-ranking posts — is poised to “storm the Hill” when Congress comes back from break in hopes of persuading lawmakers to keep the first lady’s lunch room standards in operation, Politico reported.

“We’re not going to retreat our way out of the problem,” said Lt. Gen. Normal Seip, who served in the Air Force for 35 years, Politico reported.

The McKids don’t McLike the “healthy” food, and they won’t McEat it. It ends up in the McTrash can.

Ex-admirals, generals to join Michelle Obama’s war on children.

So what do they have on them, that was in their files? Disgusting HS kids are livid....

[Paladin2]

Those guys grew up eating SoS and liking it.

I don’t think it is suck up. I think it is worry that they won’t have enough recruits to have a military. I can’t imagine that they really care about Michelle one way or the other.

[Paladin2]

Provide kids MREs for lunch.

[Mastador1]

And their positions in the military gave them exactly what expertise in the nutritional and caloric needs of children, pre teens and teens? Oh I know, because they fed crap to our soldiers!

I’ve had military C-Rations that were better than Michelle’s slop!

“NOW WE KNOW WHO THE SUCK-UPS ARE!

Ain’t that the truth.

“... failing grades or criminal records,...”

I’m sure Mo meals will cure failing grades and criminal records .... I will guess most of the Ex-admirals, generals, etc. were desk driving political a$$ kissers who never did much of anything.

Some pensions must be on the line.

When did Michelle Obama ever get the power to make laws??

[caww]

Michele Obama could have done a lot more with the monies used for this ridiculous endeavor of hers had she gone into the schools and worked with black students and their families to bring them up to par.

IMO she has failed her people greatly when she could have done so much more than shove food down their throats they won’t eat.

[GeronL]

I think it is worry that they won’t have enough recruits to have a military.

They're idiots if they think we need a tyranny to defend freedom

[Oldeconomybuyer]

The First Lunch Lady feeds ‘em keeping them hungry, then common core instructs them keeping ‘me stupid.

[GeronL]

That person should take her daughter out for lunch rather than eat at school.

Lunchboxes will be making a come back

[GeronL]

“Nobody cares what you eat for lunch” - Michelle Obama to her daughters.
