The healthy school lunch program championed by former first lady Michelle Obama has had its fair share of criticism -- but with a new administration in place, the program could be rolled back.
A document released by the office of Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., called for repealing certain aspects of the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 – the legislation that helped put Michelle Obama’s hallmark program into law. The initiative is part of a broader plan released by Meadows titled, “First 100 Days: Rules, Regulations, and Executive Orders to Examine, Revoke and Issue.”
The document calls for the Trump administration to reverse nearly 200 rules and regulations, including the requirements of the 2010 law.

Finally, get rid of that tripe and start feeding our kids again. For some of these kids lunch is the only full meal they might get on any given day.......maybe peanut butter sammiches or cereal at night.
School lunches are another Holder type neighbor to neighbor denunciation tool. They learned that from Suni terrorists: restrict food to a point of intolerable, and start seeing people cutting each other up for infringing, allegedly.
Michelle Obama acted stupidly.
Would someone who wants property taxes eliminated vote for a Communist like Sanders?
It's time to abolish the federal lunch (and breakfast and dinner) programs - which actually started as a way to help farmers when prices for dairy products etc were depressed.
Parents can make bag lunches for their children. That way the child is more likely to get the kind of food he or she will actually eat. Will parents always put 'healthy' foods in their chidren's lunches? No, not by Michelle Obama's doctrinaire definition. But ... good enough.
You drive a hard bargain. But in the interest of pissing off the libs.....deal!
I work at school and have free lunch for my students. The students don’t like them and most food ends in the trash. My own kids never eat the school lunches. Mom makes them lunch everyday.
Arugula growers will rise up in mass protest!
“The scientists compared data collected in the 16 months before the standards were carried out with data from the 15 months after the standards were put in place — and found an increase in six nutrients: calcium, vitamin C, vitamin A, iron, fiber, and protein.”

These benefits are only good if they’re eaten-——other than that we will have very healthy trash cans.

50s. Baloney sandwich on white bread with mayo, maybe a piece of lettuce which I of course threw away... Fritos, carton of whole milk, apple and maybe a Twinkie.
Make Tater Tots Great Again!
That isnt a real kid school lunch.
They dont get metal utensils. Johnny touches a knife like that at school and hes suspended.
I’d have done this on Day 1, just because. And what cheaper way is there to get the support of a whole generation?
In fact, I’d sign an EO requiring pizza and hotdogs be served in everrt school cafeteria every single day!
You are right. Salads is not what a growing kid wants. They have little apples, baby bananas and push weird fruit to broaden their horizons. Little packs with oranges or grapes. All more expensive than it needs to be.
Mac n cheese, sort of chop suey, pizza, creamed chipped beef on toast. That’s what kids want. If they let them out to play they wouldn’t have to worry about obesity
good!
now rip those solar panels back off the white house and put an oil well over Moooochelles vegetable garden!
LOL
Pity.
Proving again that collectivism does not work as an ingredient in food.
I’d like to see a law forcing Michelle Obama to eat her school lunches for 8 years.
When I was in school back in the good ole days, we had real lunches. We had fish on Fridays for the 3 or 4 Catholic families. I remember we would have ice cream sandwiches for dessert some days. We were allowed to buy another one for either 5 or 10 cents. Now that dates me. No one went hungry. To further date me the lunches went from 20 cents to 25 cents. We even had a coke machine outside. They went from a nickel to 6 cents. My precious memories.
