but everything to do with control, as Michelle Antoinette shouts let them eat lettuce, and her husband takes Vlad for a Cheesburger and Fries.

because the spray on fake cheese is right on the same shelf as the nachos.

I asked for a comment from you on your thoughts of Miss nanny being a hypocrit because she tells us to eat one way while herself eating another.

Where I live, we are already told not to send our children to school with a long list of “unapproved” food in their lunches. And, forget about cupcakes for birthdays.

“you think childrens rights are being taken away”

We’re conservatives here. Children don’t have any rights. Their parents do, however. Let them decide what’s right for their kids.

How nutty is it that a woman who gets an audience ONLY because she is married to the President sets herself up as an authority on nutrition? How nutty is it that schools had been serving the same inedible garbage since at least the 50′s, they started to change a while back by serving foods kids would eat, and now the FLOTUS wants them to go back to the garbage?

I don’t feel at all hesitant to call it “garbage,” because that’s what a great deal of it becomes immediately after lunch. The idea that schools or restaurants can change eating habits by adding zucchini to the menu in place of mac and cheese is ludicrous.

We are presently wasting billions of dollars every year trying to fix what isn’t really broken but is just not in vogue with liberals. School lunches are not a government responsibility. Unless you’re part of the farm lobby.

Aside: Corn is being replaced on pc menus because it is too high in sugar. But really it’s being replaced because it is getting more expensive and scarce as too much of it is going to ethanol instead of to market.

But by all means, keep stuffing that straw in your old clothes until it looks enough like a man to beat down and start over again with.

Just don’t do it here.

We need to change things not just from the outside, but from the inside as well. We need to ask ourselves, “What can I do, through my workplace, my place of worship, my organization, to help kids in my community lead healthier lives?”

Apparently the answer is, “eat ribs”…with extra sauce,

Frankly, I almost had new-found respect for Mrs. Obama. Almost.

Maybe she should just say screw it and go on a national campaign to have people eat more BBQ?

It’s not about what is being served where and when,
It is about Miss nanny saying one thing and doing another.
Reread the diary again, both of you.
Debating anything else is a thread jack.

it is a government push to provide all those poor kids with “free” lunches, and now breakfast. If I am the one paying for the food, I am also the one who gets to choose what to buy. Mow-chelle really has no concern over what children eat or don’t, as evidenced by her own butt, she just wants in on the power and control of the unwashed. Read above, there are those that are opting out of the “free” lunch program, but, have money to buy candy and junk out of the vending machines. So, it’s not at all about concern for the children and what they eat, it has everything to do with power and control, and Mow-chelle wants in on it. I wonder if they’ve had to add seat belt extenders on Air Force One, or whatever plane she is currently jet setting around on.

I keep my grandkids lunch schedule on my ‘fridge and their are plenty of choices. My kids are sent a monthly schedule home every month and they send it back with the choices they made for their kids circled. The lunch room then serves the kids the choices their parents made. The only requirement or regulation from the school is that the meal be balanced.

My grandkids are fed just what their parents want them to eat. They are given fruit instead of sweets most days and neither my kids, myself, or my grandkids need that lady dictating what they eat. You have done nothing but spew a moronic argument and you are too dense to see that. And I could care less if you call yourself an independent, which by the way is the most repulsive squishy set of voters in this country, you sound 100% liberal and it seems you got lost on your way and needed direction to the site that condones more regulations on the way to communism. So I will give you directions once again.

Kos <<<<<<<<—————– Try to follow them, you will feel more at home with the morons over there.

fitness junkie. I choose to eat healthy and I want to encourage others to do so as well. There is nothing wrong with that.

The problem becomes when you seek to force people to make the choices you want them to make. The problem with Mrs. Obama’s plan is that it is all fluff with no meat (no pun intended). It is based upon the false pretense that the government should be providing healthy meals (which is the parents’ job). Quite frankly, a child can eat “healthy” at school all day long, but if they are not doing so at home, it is a moot point. Her “solution” is coming entirely from an entitlement mindset and will do NOTHING to combat childhood obesity.

A better idea would be to support a non-profit (no gov. assistance) that provides healthy meal ideas to parents and cost-effective ways to pack a healthy lunch. Oh yeah, and encouraging your children to not sit in front of the tv or video game system would be a good idea. How about encouraging parents to feed their OWN children and then the unhealthy school lunches would vanish?

Just a thought.

As recently as twenty years ago here it was farm country and these sorts of things weren’t a problem. Since then a mass migration from a big city into our area took place. One immigrant from the big city told me to move if I din’t like it.
