    Something tells me the republican senate and congress wouldn't be for funding schools.

    This isn't exactly surprising at this point.

    Also, the whining about how government run lunch programs started an initiative to try to make their own food more healthy is somehow massive liberal government overreach is just delicious.

    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"?

    Sure - at the least, a couple of months making iPhones in Longhua ought to take the sloppy fat off.

    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.

    The problem is what happened because of her. Not what she stood for. And what happened is smaller sizes that wont fill anyone, and inedible food items being served.

    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.

    She campaigned for it, that doesn't mean it's because of her. Someone else made the policy and didn't take into account what was needed. Not her.
    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.





    She didn't even half way solve the problem. SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BUT CAMPAIGN.
    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.

    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.
    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.

    That is why she shouldn't be campaigning for anything. Because people will listen because of Who She Is.

    Complain to the lunch servers! The way it looks has nothing to do with it's nutritional value... Those pictures are a trick to make people express their emotion, instead of thinking about how stupid it is to complain that food doesn't look pretty.

    She is not telling you to get a chef... Powdered Mac and cheese isn't the only alternative to chefs...

    School food was shit when I went and, as I said earlier, that was long before the Obamas were in office.

    I find your words fascinating and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. Tell me more about this "Internet"?
