Okay..where's the same outrage that republicans gave Michelle Obama for messing with school lunches about this?
Seems some people only see half the picture.
Well if you read the linked article its says kids are not eating the provided lunches and this is an attempt to get them to eat.
Why would that outrage anyone?

I never had an issue with Michelle's agenda to make school lunches healthier but the way they went about doing it was awful.
Skim milk instead of 2%....
That tastes terrible.
We have athletes leaving the lunch room hungry.
Elementary kids dont eat half the stuff on the tray.

They're "dialing back" the lunches to something kids will actually eat. As it is, a huge amount of food is being thrown away because Michelle Obama made them serve stuff the kids won't touch.

Your first big mistake is relying on the government to feed your kids. As a parent, that's YOUR responsibility.
I don't believe the OP made it this way, so why make it about them?
And I agree nutrition is extremely important, maybe we need lunch hour to actually be a nutrition class, and how to prepare and eat healthy.
Not all kids are able to feed themselves, or have the parents that give a squat that they even get fed, at all. Hence government intervention.

My elementary school didn't even have a cafeteria and I can probably count the amount of times on one hand I used the one at my highschool. My mom always made sure I had food for lunch...when I was old enough to, I had to make it myself. Even if my elementary school had had a cafeteria there would have been no way in hell my mom or dad would have ever just given me money to go buy food from it.
Buying reasonable food for children...or even yourself...really isn't that difficult and is usually cheaper than # food anyway.
And gym class is a joke. We keep gym but make recess shorter and less frequent. That's typical school logic for you.

It's not ALWAYS the parent's fault.
Yes it is. We are turning into a weak society. I'm so sick of the it's not their fault they are trying.
As my wise old mom would say, they aren't trying hard enough.

So what make a recess better then an organized gym class. Kid's opinion?
