Who gets it free? I do go home and cook me 3 bowls of roman noodles(YUM) and 2 corn dogs when i get home.. sometimes I can't wait to eat so i eat at lunch and im still hungry!The school i go to serves oil free, fat-free hamburgers... they don't serve regular fries anymore because it's too Fatty so now they serve sweet potatos.(which is nasty!) I wish they served right off the grill hamburgers and cook some scrambled eggs that has been messed with and with some cheese that doesn't have mold on them!!

The French spend less than $2/day per child for food and each meal is a complete four course hot meal presided over by a local chef and uses all fresh ingredients, lots of herbs and seasonal vegetables. Each meal includes a little local cheese and fresh bread and closes with a light desert, with a rich desert once a week.

The new requirements are not really much different from the old ones they slightly changed a few things, but I don't see anything to get angry about... (and the lunch/breakfast program is voluntary where I live)

Yes, Americans are full and fat and aren't starving but we have entered ourselves into an epidemic of overweight and unhealthy diets.

another flop, courtesy of the obamas.
this is what happens, when people who think they are smarter than everyone else, gain power.
...so the previous program wasn't a flop? Or maybe the one when I was in school in the 80's-90's wasn't a flop - you know, microwaved pizza with the lowest-possible quality ingredients, french fries, amd canned fruit in corn syrup for 3x the cost of bringing lunch from home.
The gov't isn't forcing anyone to choose their offerings, and the idea of children-haters ranting and raving to bring back their unhealthy choices is ludicrous. You want to raise your child on cheetos and hot-dogs, go for it - nobody is stopping you.

The programs biggest change is the removal of Sugary drinks, and candy machines. Along side recommendations to restrict or pull back access to student stores filled with candy. The school lunches was almost secondary. Kids are there to learn anyways, them being amped up on sugar only leads to distraction, and potential misbehavior.
Id like to also add, that it can be considered infringing on the rights of the parent, to sell products such as coke and skittles in school, if these parents wouldnt allow them in their own home, or for the child to consume. Many parents (like my dad) do not allow junk food in the home whatsoever, along with anything cooked ready to be microwaved (hot pockets, lean cuisine, style meals). So for all the Obama haters out there, trying to make this out to be the government coming in and messing it up for you, consider the people who dont live the normal life eating crap, but instead make a huge effort to feed their kids organic food, or gluten free whatever they want. This can go both ways.edit on 26-8-2012 by SamLuv because: (no reason given)
