The republicans and the democrats finally found something they agree on. They both think Michelle Obama’s lunches suck. Sen. Debbie Stabenow a Democrat from Michigan, and Pat Robert of Kansas worked on the bill together and it rolls back Michelle’s (Poorly named) Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. School kids all across the nation have been rejecting Michelle’s lunches since the moment they began.
Here are a sew examples:
Of course the Obama children attend Sidwell Friends School. They don’t get to eat such hearty and healthy meals.
Here are some actual photos of lunches served there. They are forced to eat unhealthy food like this:
Oh, the humanity!!!
Your heart really must go out to them.
Those poor kids are forced to eat garbage like this everyday, I’ll bet.
The bill working it’s way through the Senate is a five year bill, that rolls back the Michelle mandate that schools must use whole grain food at least 80% of the time. Many kids simply do not like whole grain pasta. If they don’t it, they won’t eat it. It’s hard to concentrate on quantum physics on an empty stomach and there are no atheists in advanced calculus classes on test day.
The bill will also slow down the schedule for the elimination of salt. The bill has the support of the School Nutrition Association,, an organization that represents about 55,000 school cafeteria workers across the country:
“In the absence of increased funding, this agreement eases operational challenges and provides school meal programs critical flexibility to help them plan healthy school meals that appeal to students.”
If the Senate passes the bill quickly, it’s provisions could be put into place by the start of the 2016-2017 school year.
