Complaints Mount Against Michelle Obama’s New Lunch Menu

[cmypay]

Tell him that A) it's not the business of the FDA or the First Lady to mandate what kids get served in schools. B) starving the kids at school is causing them to binge eat at home because they weren't fed anything they wanted to eat during the day. C) Remind him what a fit the Dems threw in the 80's about Republicans starving kids when Reagan monkeyed with the school lunch regs and tell him the Dems are in danger of getting accused of treating "ketsup as a vegetable" themselves.

Also, mention the increase in medical care due to kids (especially athletes) passing out during activities, low blood sugar, etc. Obamacare in action

Send a substandard lunch. Wait for them to inspect it. Sue the school for violation of 4th Amendment rights

The courts have consistently ruled that student's 4th amendments rights can be strictly curtailed.

If more parents went to school board meetings I wonder if this sort of nonsense would have ever made into being.

Yes, as it relates to dangerous objects (firearms, knives, etc) or inappropriate material (i.e. porn). Show me how a home packed lunch counts as either of those.

On a separate path, sue for infringement of 10th Amendment rights. It doesn't talk about rights reserved only to the states, but also to the people. A well argued case that "the people" as a whole have a right to determine what food they eat, no matter how nutritious it is, would stop many of these power grabs in their tracks.

Simple doc.  The schools have deemed certain foods inappropriate or lacking and therefore must be inspected/searched.  That whole slippery slope thing.

But I really like your idea about going at this from a 10th Amendment angle.

The schools here get (as of 6 years ago) 14% of their annual budget from the federal government. In exchange for that 14% the feds get almost total control of the school system...the sad part is that that 14% plus more $ goes to run the free meals and reduced cost meals for the democrat voters kids. One school board member (6 years ago) wanted to tell the feds "screw you & your 14%" and just drop the free meals program to make up the difference...but the feds threatened actions in other areas if they did.

Maybe "No child left behind" should have been called "No kids with skinny behinds."

I wonder what the first wookie's two little monkey's eat for lunch everyday? I hope some nosey reporter will have the balls to find out and report on it.

[rich_t]

Pathetic ain't it?

The federal Department of Education (piss be upon Jimmy Carter for creating it), is a national disgrace and needs to be disbanded.

We all know that ain't gonna happen.

High dollar sissy food....real people eat meat and potatoes.

[Evil_Conservative]

Macaroni and cheese is healthy?  BBQ sliders?  OMG... that's so unhealthy.

You know it's all gourmet...with organic ingredients. It has to be.

Michelle my Belle has gotten the Army to adopt this heatly eating standard as well.  It's all over our chow halls.  And in a conference call I was in a couple weeks ago...DoDDS is going to start forcing it on kids that go to schools on military installations.

The Obama plan to weaken the military is coming along as planned.

[Wineslob]

When my granddaughter started "Pre-School" my daughter was given a "memo" that IF THE PACKED LUNCH did NOT meet the "state guidlines" the school would provide the neccessary items and HER packed lunch would be returned to the parents.

Yes, it's communism we live under.

Send the kid in with a bag full of dog shit.....

[DumbAss Tanker]

I see it as a great way to turn high school kids, especially the 18-year-olds who can vote, into Conservatives.

Actually, the military DOES have a vested interest in troops getting good nutrition, and Lord knows a good number of my junior enlisted could stand to lose some weight.

When I was at camp Geiger, the food was bad and there was what looked like a sewage ditch running along side the chow line (some appetite enhancer).............every table had giant jars of Peanut Butter and Jelly with loaves of bread.

I never ate anything else beside PB&J there, and I don't think anybody else did either. Thank goodness it was only short term training.

The courts have consistently ruled that student's 4th amendments rights can be strictly curtailed.

Children are considered a "protected class" and their access to adults' rights, especially in school, are subject to judicial interpretation.  In the same way it is impossible for a child to have a 4th Amendment (or 1st Amendment for that matter -- need I mention the 2nd?), the school, as "in loco parentis" stands in as parent.

Kids don't totally lose their rights at the schoolhouse, but they are subject to a very different and limited interpretation.

The wookie already has a recipe out there for smoked butt.

[JohnnyReb]

I heard that meat is restricted to just 12 ounces per week, per student.

"OK kids, on the menu today you have a choice of 2 chicken nuggets or a picture of a Big Mac."

My congressman, Bill Owens D-NY, groveling for much-needed votes, wrote to me.  His response to the problem is to write a letter to that Vilsack creature.  In part:

Although we share the goal of providing healthier meals, [he wrote to Vilsack), I believe we need to take care not to create a situation that is in fact more detrimental.  Unfortunately, it has become clear that many students are simply refusing to purchase meals at schools and are bringing food from home, which may or may not be a more healthy choice and is reducing school lunch revenue.

So, in other words, he doesn't give a shit about kids with growling stomachs and light heads.  He wants the MONEEEYYYY!!!!

  

GO, MATT DOHENEY!
