“Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead.” ~ Emily3, World of Tomorrow
Words to live by.
But you certainly didn't see her campaigning to include bigger budgets to afford her campaign for healthier food now did ya? I am merely saying that the whole, healthy food thing has two parts to it. The first part is getting them to recognize they need healthier food. The second is getting them the money they need in order to actually provide that healthier food. She ignored half the problem and these are the results we got. It may not be directly her fault, but she was the one responsible for causing the change.
You didn't see the first picture I posted did you? or some in some of the links? Those have food items that look legitimately odd and or inedible.
I could think of one way to make it look better. Not just throw it on down like they are in some wrestling match.

I dont deal with parties. I just deal with logic and facts. And the fact of the matter is, it costs more to eat healthy and the schools don't have the funding to pull it off.
We need some before and after pics. The nutritional requirements are quite basic, if a gutted school system had bad lunches before, posting the "after" pics are useless.
Edit: Wow went to those links. It's pictures of mashed potatoes, mashed yams, some shredded lettuce, etc. Frankly 3/4 of that looks more appetizing than the lunches I had in elementary school.
Do people really think mashed yams are unappetizing "slop"?

I just spent 15 minutes looking at images of bacon tattoos. :P I think that's enough internet for tonight.
Most of it is slop. And gl getting before and after pics. I mean, obviously it was fine before if you didn't see thousands of pictures all over the internet of bad lunches like you do now. Even if some of it is not slop, its very Very small portions.

No, you're missing the point completely and utterly. When she was campaigning for better food, she didn't address half the problem. She addressed only One part of the problem, schools needing to serve better food. She didn't address the part of the problem of how they are to afford that. Its not "someone else" messing it up, its the one doing the campaigning not being fully informed to begin with nor addressing all of the problems to the situation she is campaigning.
She is the one whos campaign got the change. So in this situation yes, it is her fault. You are failing to understand that she only halfway solved the problem. Plain and simple, the schools need the Money to afford the healthier food she wanted them to serve.
I honestly don´t see the issue, she´s absolutely right
Or you know, people are pushing the anti Obama stuff. School lunches being bad was a meme before memes were a thing. When schools get $1-2 per student for lunches you're not going to get outback steakhouse. Most of the things on that site were things like mashed yams, mashed potatoes, LETTUCE SALAD OMG. Seems like they did good with what they had. Before and after pics are a perfectly reasonable thing to ask for. If it was both slop before and after, nothing changed.
Thinking of my old school's "macaroni" and "Cheese product" makes my stomach churn. I would always leave it because it was nasty.

I get ya. What you're saying is that they would have done this change, regardless of the fact that the first lady was the Only One campaigning for it. If not the only one the Biggest one with the most influential pull.
And apparently that is all it took for the entire change to give Her credit from everyone. Right? I mean, I must have missed everything and everyone saying it happened due to her.She didn't even half way solve the problem. SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BUT CAMPAIGN.
She didn't bring the other half into account either. If she wouldn't have even brought the food issue into account, they wouldn't have enacted anything because they wouldn't have had the first lady breathing down their necks to do it. Say it all you want, but without her, this wouldn't have happened. Just like it didn't for years.Campaigning does nothing. It just shows someone cares. The ones who enact the policy are entirely to blame for the policies enacted. They didn't have to enact the policy - They CHOSE to enact it without taking into account the other half.
Both halves of the blame lie on those who enacted the policy.
That is why she shouldn't be campaigning for anything. Because people will listen because of Who She Is.
So a person who is trying to stop American Kids from becoming fat like their Parents. Is advising people not too feed them powdered crap.
The horror!

I'd be pissed if they took my plastic bags away for the sake that they're very useful when cleaning the litter box.
OT: If I had a fucking personal chef, I wouldn't eat processed shit either because I'd have my chef make me everything. Man, that's funny. "We the 1% feel that the 99% should instead seek out 1% privileges!" is the moral I'm getting here. She IS aware that processed shit is significantly cheaper and the only thing that many people can afford, right? She should take a stance on how expensive non-processed shit is, instead.
Still wondering why I play this game.
I'm a Rogue and I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall that is updated for BfA.
