Hot lunch isn't what is making our children fat and unhealthy. Soda, candy and fast food are.

Michelle's plan was to starve children, fuck her plan. The best plan would be serving them healthy food.

No doubt, my son is a light eater and skinny as a rail and he would come home starving because of that shit lunch they served. At his graduation one of the students said "and we all survived the Michelle Obama lunch plan" and all the students laughed and cheered.
Although yes, heavy sugar abuse is the largest source of obesity in the country, let's also not pretend
that Burgers, Pizza, Cheese steaks, and other "fast food" or fry food don't also contribute a large
portion of that percentage either.
Well the fault is that fast food is marketed towards children as being more "fun" and
"tasting better" than non-fat/etc. food is. So its no wonder the kids won't eat it.
The entire act and circuis show michelee obama did is fucking laughabke when you look at the fine dining her kids in private schools got.
Kids get rabbit food and their children got an applebees platter for school lunch.
The govenment oversteps its bounds more often than not. One of the biggest issues is the multi billion dollar industry of the DFS who legally kidnap children to drive profits
LOL the left is one of the biggest reason your country have obesity
Irrelevant for school lunches. School lunches should be monitored to ensure kids are getting at least one good, healthy, well balanced meal a day. What the parents choose to feed the kid at home for Breakfast and Dinner, that's on them. Likewise, if they don't like the healthy, balanced choices the schools offer, they can send them in with whatever.
bullying is the best cure for it
yess some will fall but as always there must be some sacrifice

You cant actually be this stupid. Government runs schools, schools serve food, food nutritional value is... parents responsibility???? If the government is going to provide a service, they have a responsibility to make sure that service is not sub par. So while you are technically right, it's not the governments responsibility to micromanage what children are fed, it is their responsibility to ensure that if they are going to provide a menu for children it is as healthy as possible.
When you have kids eating shit all day then it is a problem. A single meal higher in calories that kids will actually eat is a lot better than no meal at all (don't forget about food waste). Remember we are talking about lunch here, and kids have enrgery to burn that off by dinner...unless the school has vending machines...
I work in a school district and I am skeeved out by the shit they have been serving kids, so I'm not opposed to this.

The best and healthiest restaurants are always locally owned with locally grown produce. Why should this be any different for schools? IMO this is a task for local school districts to determine and reduce the meddling of big government.
Obesity is a parenting issue and has nothing to do with the nutrition or taste of the food in our schools.
Yet we spend more money per pupil than almost every other nation.
Regardless, the amount of food in the plate in the picture I posted earlier........probably cost a nickel and was most likely charged as an extra fee to the student who received it. If I take a very conservative $2.00 charge to a daily lunch meal at a school minus the $.05 cost of the actual food on the plate plus 50% markup to actually prepare that crap, the school should have made a profit of at least $1.96. In reality however, that meal probably cost the school $10.00 to make and prepare and another $.50 for garbage pickup.http://www.politifact.com/florida/st...-most-countri/
United States spends $12,731 per student on secondary education. Four countries -- Austria, Luxembourg, Norway and Switzerland -- spend more. Those same countries are also the only ones that spend more than the United States*per student on primary schools
Our school system sucks.
Oh of course. But there are "healthier" alternatives. I mean there are foods that are good for you that surprisingly have
high calories. I mean a small box of raisins is IIRC, 100+ calories. Again, that's a small box of raisins.
I'm not saying we should abolish any fast food for kids or sugar snacks in general, but some moderation would be nice.
Like have that crap for one day of the week rather than all 5 days. Or mix it up : You get a standard deli meat lunch
but with a sugar snack, and a burger the next day with fruit as your "treats."
Depending on the school, that is a large possibility.and kids have energy to burn that off by dinner...unless the school has vending machines...
Well yeah. Culturally speaking, good behavior has often been rewarded with sugar sweets,
like cookies or lollipops. Children's stories also further promote the idea of candy being great,
and eating dinner items like vegetables being bad, or the thing you have to force yourself to
eat in order to get to the "good stuff."
