Keeping with the subject of the day, education, I want to talk about my fave part of the school day….lunch.

Well we know that there are those that just cannot resist blaming Obama for everything from terrorism to the rapid increase in hemorrhoids…..in the past many millionaires have jumped on the bandwagon about what our children eat and drink….they spend hours condemning parents for their choices of food for the family…..the problem is that not one of them works for minimum wage and have to prepare food on a budget….they simply piss and moan……but they do have a valid point.

The Prez and his wife started a White House garden trying to bring a new understanding to nutrition……..the act has been praised and condemned, depending on where you stand politically…that in itself is the height of stupidity…….the government set standards that school lunches most adhere to and of course there is a blow back……..this one is one of my fave pieces on the school lunch nutrition program……..

Schools are struggling to adhere to new government rules on healthy lunches, and school officials are asking Washington to step back. “The regulations are so prescriptive, so it’s difficult to manage not only the nutrition side of your businesses but the business side of your business,” a school nutrition director says. Among the concerns are a requirement that grain products like pasta be whole-grain rich by next school year—a rule kids don’t find particularly appetizing, officials say.

The School Nutrition Association is asking Congress and the USDA to lower the whole-grain requirement so that it only applies to 50% of offerings, the AP reports. The association would also like to suspend new sodium limits and ditch the requirement that all meals come with a fruit or vegetable. “If the kids don’t eat the food, then all I have is healthy trash cans,” says another nutrition director. Teenagers, the Wire reports, have found a target for their food frustration: “I blame Michelle Obama,” says one, while another says “it’s gotta be a combination of Michelle and the servers at the school.” Obama did back the law that implemented the changes. But according to a nutrition advocate, Obama is a “cheerleader” for the program, while the USDA actually makes the rules.

How dare the Prez and the first lady support our children eating more healthy….the audacity….the arrogance….civilization is DOOMED!  Did you hear me……DOOMED!

God I love these people!  For without them I would have a lot less to write about.  Please keep them talking!
