NY schools dropping Michelle Obama's school lunch program. Finds it has resulted in more waste as students throw out more food they are forced to take but do not want to eat. Think Michelle eats what she wants to eat or is faithful to her own program?

Like her husband I think Michelle is a hypocrite. She says one thing and does another.

I don't care honestly what the first lady shoves down her throat, but as a high school student I would like to say that while she means well her program is wasteful. At my high school we are required to get at least three items and one of those items has to be a fruit, but the fruit they supply us with is usually old and nasty (not all the time but most), and most of the fruit ends up in the trash, along with some other crap we have to get. Several teenagers (myself included) will go through the lunch line just to get one specific item (such as a slice of pizza) they don't want the crappy milk, or the side dish, or the apple! They just want the pizza!!!

Yes, how dare the 1st lady suggest kids eat healthier in school because childhood obesity and diabetes is so much better than eating healthy and living longer. Not to worry though because Congress is pushing back on the healthier school lunch program because they basically said it's cheaper for your kids to eat things like pizza and french fries everyday for lunch. What's the next thing on Mrs. Obizzy Body's socialist agenda, promote good oral hygiene? Who the hell does she think she is?!!

It's not the school lunches that males kids fat.Hell they don't give enough food for them to get them fat.It's going home sitting on the couch with a bag of chips and ho ho's till dinner time.[Side note tanks to the union there are no ho ho's.]

Wanting it, focusing on it and trying to teach is one thing. The real problem is parents and the worst thing is trying to demand and legislate! Freedom is more important

Glad to hear some schools are finally standing up to that ignorant woman. Who died and made her the national dietician? She's an expert on exactly nil and needs to keep her paws out of our childrens affairs.

Actually I looked up other sources to verify the story and could find nothing in the news showing that NY is dropping the school lunch program. Ironically the so called story left out the amount of food that was thrown away when schools were serving junk food in their cafeterias and did not mention the losses that were incurred without the new program.Every parent would want their children to eat better and it takes time to change eating habits,but in the end it is better for the health of future populations.

That`s not for obama`s momma to decide what other people`s children eat.

reply
Prime T... to Hawk 2013/01/27 18:39:48

Should students have a choice between junk food and healthy food,or forced to eat junk food because that is all the cafeteria has to offer? If healthy foods are not served in schools then children have no choice at all. Look also at the vending machines filled with sugar ladened chocolate bars,and chips,with no other choices such as granola bars,fresh fruits,etc as well. Or vending machines filled with sugar ladened sodas only,without the choice of unsweetened fruit juices.
It should be about choice and not schools forcing kids to eat unhealthy foods.

Is it better to throw the food in the garbage?? And it`s not for you to say, stay in the United Kingdom we have plenty of people like you here already.

reply
Prime T... to Hawk 2013/01/29 20:12:08

You have missed what I said in the comment.The children should have dietary choices,and be given the choice of both junk food and healthy foods.If they can only choose junk food then they have no choice at all.

Kids love junk food because it's what their parents feed them. How sad. I would have loved healthy and nutritious food being served in the cafeteria as a kid.

Everyone splurges now and then-- but how would I know what Michelle Obama eats regularly? I know that she at least has access to healthy food--unlike many children in poverty.

Perhaps the cooks need cooking lessons on how to prepare tastier healthy foods.

reply
Prime T... to Lilac 2013/01/27 07:20:23

That is a great answer. Healthy food can be made to taste good,and appetizing,and there is nothing wrong with trying to get children to eat better,any parent would want their children to eat healty at school.

That's an irrelevant question to whether or not her program is a good thing. Judge the program, not the one who makes it.

Of course not.....She has plenty of money and has a good diet but neither she, nor her girls eat that crap.

I grew up at a time when there weren't a lot of air conditioning in most homes TV was received by antenna (no cable) and no video games. So we played outside all day cause it was cooler in the shade than in the house. I always ate like a pig but it was good country food and I was never fat.....

Kids now stay inside all day playing videos or on their computers and have no stamina and no coordination. What ever they eat is never burned off for energy so they become over weight and sick.

I must agree that her initial idea sounded great ------ but it has not because the students do not have much of a choice. As far as her and her husbands eating habits are concern they eat what ever they want, like the rest of the country.

She could and should have her family eat everythiing that the New York schools are handing out.
