Surprise surprise, kids celebrate when they can start munching doritos and drinking cola.
Let us not forget kids are stupid and it's our job as adults to raise them right, not indulge their every whim. What a win for conservatives!
Our job as adults ...
Not the government's job.
I'm glad you agree with us conservatives.

This is great news for the kids. Now get some soda vending machines in the hallways, next to the insulin vending machines.
We need to deregulate extra curricular activities too. Damn liberals!

Hey guess what? The government is composed of adults!
Too simplistic. Obviously it's a much much larger issue than schools. However, a lot of low income kids rely on school breakfasts and lunches. They should have healthy options.

School lunches have always been that way. Parents who cared always packed their kids a lunch.
It's a funny thing though, this obesity epidemic is a more recent phenomena. Maybe if the schools really cared, they'd go back to active, free play recesses and active gym classes for all?
And perhaps the overall culture needs to be changed instead of forcing diet rules on every kid that presupposes the kid is obese to start with and needs a drastic weight loss and aims for that amount of caloric intake.
Bad examples. For years the school lunches were horribly unhealthy and low quality. Don't be ridiculous and pretend nutritionists trying to change that is some form of tyranny.

Don't you understand that the GOVERNMENT knows what is good for you, good for your kids, and good for America? Not only that, if you do not agree, the GOVERNMENT gets to tell you what to do, what to eat, and how to live your life. The reason is that you are TOO STUPID to know any better so by telling you what to do the GOVERNMENT is doing you a favor. But, of course, you're too stupid to realize that so all you do is complain. So you must be conservative.

My daughter became a juvenile diabetic or Type one, when she was 16, she weighed 112 pounds, JD has nothing to do with what you eat, your pancreas stops producing insulin,
