Oh man that local news story looks totally legit. And that is totally 100% on Michelle Obama and not the local school board that sets the lunch budget.

I really could not care less about any news story about school lunch, kid getting suspended for haircut, prayer before a football game in Texas or something, some high school history AP ciriculum, common core math, etc.

School Boards set Federal School lunch standards? Fascinating
Libtards gonna libtard.
Headstart funded preschools are the worst example of this one size fits all food program. Kids that age vary widely in size and stature and virtually none of them can be characterized as obese. The bigger kids are practically malnourished and their dumbfuck poor parents don't feed them dinner. Preschool was their best chance at food. It's really sad.
-
If that picture is legitimate (serious doubts coming from a website dubbed "common core watch"), then yeah, that's pretty sad
-

No, they don't. Neither does Michelle Obama. They also have much less to do with whatever is on a lunch tray than tight lunch budgets. As always, localities and states are free to do almost whatever they want to thumb their noses at the federal government, they just may not do whatever they want and expect federal funds to do them.
-
Interesting, the Fed takes 70% (income tax and fica) of all income out of a state then tells states they can have some back if they do things the Fed way, and states don't just go without it?
-

It's the lunch budget! :lol: Go back to posting misleading job graphs from liberal blogs.
-
Seriously, I don't think anyone who bitches about school lunches has ever actually seen a school lunch. Our kids get 3 choices, which include delicious entrees like chicken teriyaki, cheeseburgers, pizza, etc....pretty much the same crap that school lunches have been forever.

I prefer school lunches to stay small, fwiw. If you are a parent and don't like it, just send some food to school with your kid. My taxes are high enough without overfeeding obese kids.
-
Haven't read the whole story yet but I'm gonna guess FSD really has his finger on the pulse of this whole situation and everything he's saying is super accurate.
-
When I was in school, I got to eat enormous lunches for like $3. Thank God I got out before Michelle started starving kids

I remember it seemed like once a week was "breakfast for lunch" where they got rid of all the extra waffles and sausages they fed the poor kids for breakfast. The waffles were gross. The sausage was even worse. Thinking back, our school lunches were pretty terrible.

I'm coming around to this point of view. If you don't like the shitty lunch being served at the trough, brownbag it. Otherwise, it's salad, bread, and milk for you. Maybe toss in an orange from time to time.

We had that, too. The hash brown wasn't all that bad. The sausage was pretty hit and miss. We also had goulash Fridays. That was the worst.

Screw those poor free and reduced lunch kids!!
You poor families should be on the Gywneth Paltrow school lunch program. Poor Mom's, I suggest line caught tuna wraps with fresh chemical free arugula and organic sun dried (natural drying process) tomatoes. Or, sprouted grain bread with almond butter and fresh organic jam. Better yet; fresh organic veggie sushi with nori seaweed, short grain brown rice, agave nectar, red wine vinegar, and cooked organic asparagus.
Don't the poor families get food stamps that they can use to feed their kids however they see fit? Do those benefits get reduced because school lunches are factored in or something? It seems like that should be enough, but then again, I'm a conservative, not a tax and spend liberal.
-
Obviously Dax hasn't visited his grandkids during lunch. They still eat the same crap we ate years ago.

That lunch sounds awesome. It is noon and I wish I was eating that, but I'm not sure what other connection it has to the topic at hand.

The menu was from a private school.
Thank you for clarification, however, what is Michelle O. PS lunch menu that day? I can't imagine it was "side salad, twinkie and milk". As a child I recall choosing what I bought for school lunch. If it was healthy or not was kind of on me.
-
Under what authority is our (obese) first lady involved in any school lunch? This is rediculous, more so than the typical libtards dismissing everything away.
-
So, not speaking directly to lunch, but to the food per day in a pub school:
My kids are both in elementary. The school serves every single kid breakfast. The kids are supposed to choose the day before whether they will take breakfast or not, but even if the kid says no, they still serve them breakfast. The kids all are told that if you don't eat it, to save it for mid day snacks. The breakfast is something that won't go bad sitting in the open air for a few hours about 75% of the time, so it works for snacks. Then, the school always has three choices of lunch. Two warm and one cold with the cold usually being a chef's salad. The warm choices are very similar to the stuff they served when I was a kid but has been revamped ingredients wise for the new calorie requirements. For example, the rolls used to be buttery and delish. Now they are just reg rolls. The pizza used to be super greasy, now it's a different brand and isn't greasy. Also, the school has a rule that any kid can add as many extra veggies as they want to the normal lunch.
I have eaten with my kids at school numerous times and it is fine.
I get districts are all different, but the difference would have to be night and day for this to really be a thing.

Three kids in public school. Their lunch goes like this: You get one choice of meal, same as when I was there, but much smaller portions. You used to be able to go back through the line if you finished everything and get leftovers from the day before, but that's been gone for a few years now. The older two have a ala cart option, which is typically 75 cents for a cookie, or granola bar.
And if your class is the last to eat, and they run out of food (which happens more often than you would think) sorry, you're out of luck. That would happen to my oldest at the high school about two times a week last year. Now my youngest is in the last class to eat. I haven't heard about them running out of food, but they do have about 5 minutes to eat lunch.
We've started sending lunches a few times a week, working out better so far.
Also, my oldest was told she was not allowed to complain about her lunch. Even when her chicken sandwich was still raw. Her option was eat the raw chicken, or go without. There wasn't enough extra to get a different one.
I love my school district though, even if lunches seem to be going down hill quickly.

The raw chicken thing is unbelievable. I am not calling you a liar, but I know a bunch of teachers and not one would tell a child to eat raw chicken.

fun cow pro-tip from resident cow expert steve dave: there is a cow food called "cake". I don't know if it's actually called that or just cowboys call it that but it doesn't look like cake at all. more like jumbo sized hamster food.

Is there any information out there as to what the menu read for the referenced photo?
If I had to guess, and its purely a guess, that lunch was a for a high school girl-too bad it wasn't instagramed.

In no way could that lunch tray ever have been altered before the photo to make it look more scant than it actually was for the purposes of proving some weird point.

A new study (pdf (https://www.hnfe.vt.edu/about_us/forms/ISBNPA_2013_Assessing_Nutritional_Quality_Lunches.pdf)) carried out by researchers at Virginia Tech concluded that preschoolers and kindergartners tend to eat healthier lunches when the food is chosen by their school, not their parents. The study, which surveyed more than 1,300 lunches at three schools in Virginia, found that parents frequently pack things like chips, sweets, and sugary drinks—all of which are not allowed under the National School Lunch Program. “I wasn’t expecting there to be such a strong difference between school meals and lunches packed by parents,” said Alisha Farris, one of the study’s authors. “We thought that parents would send lunches that reinforced the sort of healthy habits we hope they are trying to establish at home.”
Parents, it turns out, appear to do just the opposite. More than 60 percent of meals packed at home had one dessert (nearly 20 percent had two or more); just under 60 percent had savory snacks, like chips; and roughly 40 percent had a soda or sugar-added juice. School meals, meanwhile, were more likely to contain fruits, vegetables, naturally sweetened juices, and milk.

Maybe we should limit what kind of food people can buy with SNAP cards.

We had a thread on that where, predictably, I was called a racist for pointing that out. Anyway, the junk food lobby will never allow it.
-
That study didn't mention snap once. Of course if you're on snap, wouldn't you be on free lunch too?

Isn't it already limited? ?? If not, why does so much food at the Walmart have an orange "snap eligible sticker on it?
Perhaps it should be further limited to food that doesn't cause so many poor people to be in such terrible health.

Dummy, I was referencing him thinking that people that qualify for free lunch actually send their kids to school with lunches. Do you guys have some sort of computer glitch that doesn't allow for thought not fed to you by Sean, Rush, and the ghost of Breitbart?

The study, which surveyed more than 1,300 lunches at three schools in Virginia, found that parents frequently pack things like chips, sweets, and sugary drinks—all of which are not allowed under the National School Lunch Program. “I wasn’t expecting there to be such a strong difference between school meals and lunches packed by parents,” said Alisha Farris, one of the study’s authors. “We thought that parents would send lunches that reinforced the sort of healthy habits we hope they are trying to establish at home.”
Parents, it turns out, appear to do just the opposite. More than 60 percent of meals packed at home had one dessert (nearly 20 percent had two or more); just under 60 percent had savory snacks, like chips; and roughly 40 percent had a soda or sugar-added juice. School meals, meanwhile, were more likely to contain fruits, vegetables, naturally sweetened juices, and milk.
Maybe we should limit what kind of food people can buy with SNAP cards.
:ROFL:
I can't figure out......
Obviously.

I can't figure out if your lack of common sense and restraint is humorous or troubling, probably both.
Isn't it already limited? ?? If not, why does so much food at the Walmart have an orange "snap eligible sticker on it?
Perhaps it should be further limited to food that doesn't cause so many poor people to be in such terrible health.
Dummy, I was referencing him thinking that people that qualify for free lunch actually send their kids to school with lunches. Do you guys have some sort of computer glitch that doesn't allow for thought not fed to you by Sean, Rush, and the ghost of Breitbart?

The point was if the government can limit what kids get for a subsidized school lunch to only healthy food and portion control, they should limit SNAP cards in the same manner.

-
MIR, aren't you a social worker or something?
Nope, not even close. I don't have the temperament for that. I will tell you that I have voluntarily familiarized myself with the nutritional standards for school lunches to help me with a component of what I do. I can tell you that when you see stories and pictures of kids who aren't getting enough food it is because of adults playing bullshit political games with children's nutrition. Like two years ago when whatever NWKS town that was (Otis/Bison?) that made national news by making that music video about their disappearing food, total bullshit. The standard is that schools have until 2022 to fully comply, there are essentially mile markers they have to meet from when the new standards were in acted until 2022, its a long progression to comply and the first mile marker wasn't even until this school year. So if dumb administrators couldn't figure out or get their food service people to figure it out they have plenty of time to get their crap together.
The biggest issue for food service professionals who insist on serving food the same way they have since we were kids is that there is so much damn sodium in food and the sodium reduction is the most difficult aspect of complying to the new standards. Like I said though they have until 2022 to reduce the sodium intake each meal by 50%. This year the schools have to cut a whole 30mg of the 500+mg of sodium allowed before this school year. Yet lazy people want to continue to order the same damn chicken strips from Sysco instead of I dunno, doing something different. They are ordering the same crap yet serving it in smaller quantities instead of trying something differently.
So instead of just doing what they need to do to keep harmful sodium out of our kids diets they are instead starving kids and telling them that it is Moochele's fault and turning it into photo ops. rough ridin' selfish assholes putting their racist political agendas in front of the health of our children.

Form calling lunch ladies food service professionals down to blaming hungry children on a racist political agenda, this may be the biggest load of bullshit dumped in the pit in a while. STFU you disingenuous assclown.

So you're saying the federal government has no say in nutritional requirements for subsidized school lunches?

Not saying it's a bad thing, just that it is actually a thing.
Through the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act championed by the First Lady and signed by President Obama, USDA made the first major changes in school meals in 15 years, which will help us raise a healthier generation of children.
The new standards align school meals with the latest nutrition science and the real world circumstances of America’s schools. These responsible reforms do what’s right for children’s health in a way that’s achievable in schools across the Nation.

Feeding kids healthy food in reasonable proportions seems like a pretty good idea to me.

Feeding kids healthy food in reasonable proportions seems like a pretty good idea to me.
They're treating children like livestock. Some kids need to eat more than others. The younger the kid the worse the preset meal plan because of how fast the kids grow and how widely they vary in size. This is especially problematic in head start funded pre schools where many of the kids aren't fed at home and need more food.
The fact that an obese Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) championed these rules only makes the whole thing less appetizing and harder to swallow. I can't think of anything more elitist, obtuse and idiotic than standardizing nutritional requirements for children.

pizza day tho... :Yuck: go ahead and take that

I mean... Yeah, school lunches are under govt control, so let's feed those shits some healthier food.

keep your government hands off my school lunch :curse:

Healthier = smaller portions of the same crap.
Healthier /= standard portions for children
You are all either obstinate, blind (bbs version of deaf) or both.

Wide body butt Moooooochelle is a hipocrit. Starving kids, especially in high school leads to permanent brain farts and synaptic spasms. Growing stupid so they can vote liberal. Give the youngins meat, taters and pie - calories for brains. Even Benji the gay bull should be scacrificed as gay-burgers for the cause. Dang what if a bunch of discriminated starving kids go rioting and fire bombing. Just think when the new immigrunt children come here there will be more to feed, and likely less food due to global warming. What will Republicans do? Vote for Keystone and vote against Obamacare so Obama can give us the bird and pass enviromental regs that will destory us before ISIS does now that Ol' Joe Biden is them hunting to hell.

It's a completely unnecessary intrusion that has already cost $3 billion dollars in additional subsidies and administrative costs over the last 3 years. The people that were making the local decisions on portions were doing a fine job. The problems are at home, not in the schools.
