Complaints Mount Against Michelle Obama’s New Lunch Menu
In Wisconsin, high school athletes are complaining about not getting enough to eat each day, due to the skimpy new school lunch menu mandated by the United States Department of Agriculture and First Lady Michelle Obama.

The story we published earlier this week on that subject is unfortunately not unique. Students across the country are complaining about the new school lunch regulations.

Perhaps the real motive is to starve students into slimming down. Just ask students in Pierre, South Dakota who, too, are in an all-out revolt.

"I know a lot of my friends who are just drinking a jug of milk for their lunch. And they are not getting a proper meal," middle school student Samantha Gortmaker told Keloland.com.

Despite the fact that the new regulations have increased the cost of a lunch 20 to 25 cents per plate, it’s not pleasing students.

Some are throwing away their vegetables while others are adapting to the rules by becoming industrious. In New Bedford, Massachusetts, students have created a black market - for chocolate syrup. The kiddie capitalists are smuggling in bottles of it and selling it by the squeeze, according to SouthCoastToday.com.

Nancy Carvalho, director of food services for New Bedford Public Schools, was quoted as saying that hummus and black bean salads have been tough sells in elementary cafeterias. That means even smaller children are going through the day fighting hunger pains, which can never be considered a good thing.

One government official tried to put the blame on the students.

"One thing I think we need to keep in mind as kids say they're still hungry is that many children aren't used to eating fruits and vegetables at home, much less at school. So it's a change in what they are eating. If they are still hungry, it's that they are not eating all the food that's being offered," USDA Deputy Undersecretary Janey Thornton was quoted as saying.

Ms. Thornton just put her finger on the problem. The government is trying to impose a new diet that children are not accustomed to. It’s not reasonable to expect them to either eat what the government deems healthy or go hungry.

Many will opt to go hungry, and that’s the government’s fault.   http://townhall.com/columnists.....bamas_new_lunch_menu

this entire 'lunch' thing is a complete joke. Again proof positive that you CAN'T LEGISLATE common sense!!!!!! When will these liberal nut jobs figure that out???

being hungry IS NOT STARVING......

starving involves organ failure....

and being grumpy doesn't count.....

there are no starving Americans....just the glycemic grumpies

If you want more of the same, keep voting for liberal progressives, they have a lot more in store for you in the next 4 years if they win the election.

I don't believe that Michelle Obama is adhering to her menu.  One could almost put a billboard on her extra-wide bottom.

Kind of like pinning the tail on the jackass - er, donkey.

Actually, i understand that the First Lady has quite a passion for more fattening foods.  There seems to be a disconnect between how she (and her husband) is demanding every other American live and how she chooses to live.  

Bottomline - We don't need our national leaders telling us how to live but if they are going to attempt to influence our decisions they should at least practice what they preach.  That goes for what we eat and also for health insurance  ----- hey Mr. President and the Pelozzipalooza in Congress, if Obamacare is so great for all of us -- how come you folks are keeping your "Rolls Royce plan" which is paid for by the American people ???????????

isn't it the surgeon general who is in charge of the nation's 'health'?

shame on 'egypt' and it's pots of meat for the 'brick makers'.......

N.J. High School Students Planning Cafeteria Boycott To Protest Obama Guidelines
Parsippany Hills Students Ask, Why Should We Pay For The Obese's Problems?
September 27, 2012 11:58 PM

PARSIPPANY, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — Students at Parsippany Hills High School held a strategy session on Thursday to discuss a potential lunch strike, on Friday, over what they have called inadequately sized meals.

“This year you’re eating lunch and you’re like ‘Did I even eat?’ You’re not even full,” senior Brandon Faris told CBS 2′s Derricke Dennis.

New federal guidelines stemming from first lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign have resulted in limits on protein and bread, and an increase in vegetables and fruits. The changes have also come at an increased cost.

All of it has also sparked a student campaign that has included online parody videos of students falling sleep in class and performing sluggishly in sports......................>>>>.........................>>>>......................http://newyork.cbslocal.com/20.....st-obama-guidelines/

AAAAHHHHHH,,,,,the pots of meat in Egypt

what's funny is that 'poor families' were considered too poor with PBJ sandwiches or no lunch at all....the government steps in
to 'feed the plebs' and now they remove food.....

so then ALL students, even the 'un-poor' ones begin to participate in the school feeding.....now we have

poor fat America.......

NEVER LEAVE IT UP TO GOVERNMENT TO FEED YOU......this is the pendulum of daddy government.....

SHAME SHAME SHAME
