Kansas Students Are Hungry Thanks To Michelle Obama’s Lunch Program
Michelle Obama is catching a lot of grief and criticism over her government school lunch plan. Seems that in Kansas, some of the students are complaining they aren’t getting enough to feel full after eating.
“Some Kansas students and at least one political leader say new school lunch guidelines aimed at limiting calories and encouraging good nutrition are having an unintended consequence: Hungry kids,” McClatchy reports. The report points to this parody video of kids complaining about the new lunch program established by First Lady Obama.
The kids at Sidwell Friends, the elite private school the Obama kids attend in Washington, D.C. probably aren’t complaining about their pizza today.
According to the school’s website, pepperoni pizza is on the menu today:
French Mushroom Soup
Classic Caesar Salad
Boston Bean Salad
Pepperoni Flatbread Pizza
Variety Flatbread Pizza
Variety Veggie Flatbread Pizzas
Sauteed Local Greens
Sliced Melon
I wonder did the Obama kids take a special healthy bagged lunch instead?- JRoycroft
My kids have complained that the “healthy” fruits and vegetables that are available are wilted and bruised. The school district throws away tons of food everyday that the kids won’t eat. So now we are faced with grumpy hungry kids who are in no condition to learn and the schools are literally throwing away money they can’t afford to loose. Believe me, as a mom, I’m all for healthy school lunches, but they have to be both nutritious and appealing. This is why my son takes his lunch to school.

Be thankful that your school isn’t deciding whether or not the food you send passes their inspection. At least not yet.
