Nanny State PING!
I want briskets and gravy for breakfast
My school culture in the 1950s was peanut butter sandwiches and potato chips.
Why can’t Moochelle just STFU and let the local school districts plan their damned school meals?????
If you live in a predominately black district you will get black food, you live in a predominately polish district you get predominately polish cuisine.
sounds like the “problem” would work itself out if FED-GOV just got the FSCK out of the way!
Can’t wait until they have North Korean Lunch Day.
They will give you a glass of water and tell you you should be thankful for that. And if you’re not, you could be shot.
We never had food fights the day we had tater totes. I wonder if these meals are causing more food fights?
This sounds like it came through a robot-generated feel good machine. And it says nothing.
This is probably the way to get halal food in the schools to accommodate the Muslims.
After high school I never saw succotash again.
I forget exactly but it was two vegetables I never ate, together.
Now there will be even more meals the kids will refuse to eat.
Rice and beans with pork will certainly be upsetting to the parents of Little Mohammed! Puerto Ricans vs. Muslims, both big-time Dim supporters...have at it!/s;)
“Declining participation”?
In SoCal we feed half of Mexico with that program.
… government-mandated nutrition standards ...
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate school nutrition purposes.
And speaking of the USDA, with the exception of food where buyer and seller are domiciled in different states or different countries, the Supreme Court has clarified that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate agricultural production.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited. None to regulate agricultural production is given, and therefore legislation by Congress for that purpose is forbidden [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
In fact, the post-17th Amendment ratification Senate should have protected the states, as the Founding States had intended for the Senate to do, by killing the bill which led to the establishment of the unconstitutional Healthy Hunger-Free Kids act of 2010 which was signed by lawless Obama. So once again the corrupt feds are rescuing the states with money that they stole from the states in the form of unconstitutional taxes, complements of the corrupt Senate.
Also note that the Senate wrongly ignored its Article V requirement to lead Congress to petition the states for an amendment to the Constitution which would have granted Congress the specific power to address intrastate school nutritional issues.
The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and Constitution-ignoring senators along with it.
I don’t see why we need a federal school lunch program at all.
Back in my day, the elementary school didn’t even have a cafeteria. We all had to bring lunch from home. Somehow we all survived and grew up and had proper nutrition.
Does federal involvement in an area of life really always translate into an improvement, or solve a problem???
Some of the slop they serve in schools nowadays appears to be so unappetizing. I heard that some school wanted to set up cameras by the trash cans to document how much food was being thrown away. But the school quickly said that they weren’t going to identify students, you would just see the trays and hands of children throwing things away.
As if having video to watch would help anyone. Geez..
Yeah, that’s the ticket. /s
>>As participation has dropped, costs have gone up. . . partly because of . . . a higher percentage of children getting free or reduced-price lunches.
There is another true sign of that wonderful Obama economy Leftists like to brag about.
We had a Japanese high-school exchange student a few years ago.
The folks that ran the program specifically told us: “Don’t go out of your way to make Japanese food. These kids are here to learn about America; part of that is eating American food”.
