That doesn't answer the question, and I am sure you know that.
And once you do answer the question, the answer you seek should dawn on you.
So you don't think the kids like the food?
Those kids are being put in an environment were they feel its better. its not better, it sucked, and it used to be better in the past. We actually got fed.
The taxpayers and the kids parents are paying for the school lunches. They are not all free. And they were already buying mostly healthy food.
Why don't you ask them?
If I put an apple, cookie and chips in front of their faces which one do you think they're going to grab first?
Why??? his opinion doesn't matter the kids opinion matters.
I love how the state has dumbed parents down to the point in which they actually believe the state can raise parents children..
1984....
Its free right!
Do you think the administrators actually polled their students, or are reflecting their own personal beliefs?
What a thread. We have to put food in our schools, its been **** food for decades, someone suggests we start providing healthier lunches and that becomes a political fight too!
If they were already buying healthy food, then it wouldn't be an issue for them to meet the requirements.
And again.Why are you afraid to confirm or reject my guess as to your opinion?
And again.

And the answer yo seek should dawn on you. And if it doesn't. That is your own problem.

Of course they like the food if their only option is an apple, banana or an orange........... Seriously bro?
The difference was that they were not militant about it. Kids were served mostly healthy food, however they did look forward to treats at some level. The feds should butt out.
What you believe in that regards, matters not.The problem is that I personally don't believe that the kids like the food, which indicates quite strongly that the kids are not indoctrinated (as indoctrinated people actually hold the beliefs that they get indoctrinated with).
What you believe in that regards, matters not.
The fact is that if the kids don't like it, they haven't been indoctrinated into liking it. No beliefs involved there, just facts.

People are actually complaining that public schools are feeding children a healthy diet. Alright then.
Making a condition for public schools to get extra money for food to feed children lunch to meet certain specific nutritional standards is absolutely not being militant about this. They don't control what the children eat 24/7. They don't control what the parents can and do send to school as an alternative to getting lunch from the school. In fact, they don't even really control what is specifically being served to children for lunch (or breakfast). Many schools were able to either keep their old lunch menus or the vast majority of their old menus with only a few changes, such as changing out for lower fat milk options, giving smaller meat portions, or changing regular spaghetti to whole wheat spaghetti.
The feds have every right to stipulate what kinds of food the money being given to public schools by the fed for school lunches can be served. It is federal money.
So, end the school lunch program altogether?
Yep. Knew exactly what it was going to be before I even clicked on the thread.
As for Michelle Obama, she could demand that schools serve only burgers and fries, and the same people would be bitching about how she's trying to kill the kids.
Michelle should stick to raising her own kids and butt out of the school lunch programs.
