I would like to know the last time Moochelle ate an 850 calorie meal of grain and veggies, or fed one to her offsprings.

My kid is brownbagging lunch this year. Hopefully the TSA or Agriculture Dept police armed with hollowpoint bullets won’t start inspecting and seizing brown bag lunches...this year

As I look back in life I am simply amazed that I lived as a child eating everything that was tasty. My God! How did we survive without the nanny state dictating what was good for us?

Somehow, millions and millions of us did. However, we were not fat back in my day (born in 1946) simply because we did not sit on our asses watching TV, playing video games or fiddling with our cell phones. We actually went outside and played in “dangerous” swings, see-saws, monkey bars, and other “dangerous” apparatus not approved by the safety police.

Hell! We even played football, baseball and other “dangerous” games without approved protective gear!

I find it just amazing that we lived through our childhood without ANY involvement of our government.

I remember the opening of the Der Wienerschnitzel in my home town when I was 15 years old. Every dog on the menu was $.05.

I ordered and ate 15 of them and came back 3 hours later to do it again.

From the time they were in first grade, our three sons always packed their lunches for school. We let them pick the ‘hot’ lunch from the cafeteria calendar once a week or so.

Too bad more parents don’t choose this option for their coddled, helpless, entitled little dependents.

Exactly. Big nanny state always does a one size fits all policy. Not every kid is over weight or sits on their ass all day. If there is ever a time in your life where eating bad is okay it’s as a teen. After that you need to watch.

It's called the No Hungry Kids Act but they're still hungry.

How Orwellian

Advocating for something, healthier eating, is not that bad a thing. It’s the dictatorial way Leftist going about things that make them evil.

How do you take something like trying to get our kids more healthy, and turn everyone against you?

Take a good look at Michelle and what she’s up to. That’s how.

That pinhead mayor of New York is one major dumb ass.

Just a few weeks ago I had a conversation with a couple of middle schoolers about this. They go to different schools in different towns here in NH. They were both complaining about how much they hate the new food they are served. They cut the size of the paninis by 75%, but they left the price the same. And there were other things they were upset about. They were blaming Michele Obama, too. I was shocked that this was really going on because I homeschool my kids and don’t know what’s going on in the schools.

We did the same for our son all the way thru school-—he couldn’t stand the school lunches. Funniest part all his buds were continouusly trying to trade him out of his lunch stuff. Incredibly to us, not one of the other kids put any serious pressure on their folks to make them something worth eating. They all seemed to be happy just getting by. But reflecting on that it seems to this day, 20 years later, that is still the difference ——the others are happy to “get by”.

The problem is not the amount of food “allowed”. The problem is the Federal Gubment reaching into your neighborhood, bypassing the school board, and regulating what goes in the mouth of free men and free women. A lot of the precedence for this was set by “W”, who by the way was a big gubment idiot who bailed out GM and did Tarp I.

I am reading the Constitution. Lets see. Dammit. We gotta use the Commerce Clause “Again”, because nothing else will do. But that’s ok, seeing as how it is not a “contract” exactly. The Constitution is more of a suggestion, or guiding principles as it where.

A few months ago, we were continuously getting advertising on the radio telling what proper sized food servings were. Chicken: about the size of a deck of cards. Mashed potatoes: about the size of a computer mouse. I thought the one-size-fits all announcements were stupid and haven't heard them lately. Anybody else?

This was on the Clear Channel station, SW Pennsylvania market.

good for them but I;ve lost county on the amount of times I;ve heard others state that they wished their child was given a halth lunch at the school.

I always reply with”why not you feed your child with what you want them to eat”

I always get this reply, “I have no time in the morning”

Really no time, then don;t have kids if you want the govt to feed and raise your child.

never given my kids any school crap, it;s al processed crap and even the women who work there have said they would never give their kids this food.

How anyone could give their children that crap they serve is down right sad.

My kids have a sandwich, fruit, drink etc though the middle and high schools do serve Chicken Filet A food which is a must

it’s not the amount of food these kids eat, Hell I used to eat thousands of calories a day but I was always playing sport.
Maybe if the schools let the kdis play ddge ball, sports at lunch time again then the kids might lose the weight instead of eating salad and then sitting there starving..

Also big ass wants other kids to eat crap but she and her family like jug ears was eating pork this weekend.

AND what about those white house dinners they have, hardly healthy

Brown bag it. Boycott, divest, sanctions against the federal government.

My suggestion: Bring whole wheat crackers with Sabra and Tribe Humus, hamburger(or bacon), lettuce, tomato. Bring Gatorade.
