re: Michelle Obama blast Trump for school lunch changes

This is not going to make our children less healthy or fat. In fact dairy fat is good for you and the grains, not so much.
The standards were set by people that are dishonest and completely ignorant about nutrition. Eliminating fat and sodium is not healthy, restricting calories in meals that might be the only real meal some kids get that day is not healthy. Children are growing and developing, they need more calories and they need physical activities for recess. If the kid is fat, it's on the parent(s) to make changes.

She's right. One the few good things to come out of the Obama Adminstration. If the taxpayer is paying for the lunch lunch, we shouldn't feed fat kids pounds of sugar thus ensuring we will pay for the obesity and diabetes down the line.

What pounds of sugar? Any kid eating sugar at school brought it with them from home. I remember the fat kids' lunches after Halloween: one sandwich, 3 candybars, and a Coke. Nothing they got at the school.

Most school lunches are primarily made of complex carbohydrates - breads, pastas, etc. Thats all sugar. Combine that with gallons of HFCS used to sweeten anything and everything and you have "pounds of sugar."

What is the reasoning behind opposing this initiative? Can someone explain why taxpayers should subsidize unhealthy food for children that is medically proven to causes a myriad of health problems down the line?
Does it really boil down to "My dislike of Obama is so great that I'll even oppose the few decent measures he implemented?"

Like most liberal policies it was a good idea in theory but almost impossible to execute.

No, it wasn't.
Creating dietary guidelines isn't "impossible to execute."

But it wasn't decent. Well-intentioned perhaps. But not nutritionally sound.

It didn't work. Nothing else needs to be said.

the Obamas are crap.

Obama -- who did not mention President Donald Trump or first lady Melania Trump by name -- emphasized that it's important to make sure parents think about the importance of healthy school lunches.
As I've said before, she might have a little more credence on the subject of nutrition if she didn't need a "Wide Load" sign on her own backside.

How did it not work? Because some students chose not to eat the subsidized lunch? Win-win

Correct. My mother, who is a school teacher, used to tell me how much food was thrown out because kids were not eating their lunches.

Wasting money and kids going hungry. Definitely a "win-win"

So irresponsible kids with irresponsible parents resisted a program to infuse responsible eating habits which has significant consequences for our nation's physical and fisca health?
You're kidding!
Well let's scrap it and stuff their fat faces with more taxpayer funded junk!

but enforcing them is
Liberals have established that localities do not have to obey laws or regulations they do not like.
Who exactly do you propose would arrest all the school administrators who did not follow the regulation if it was widely ignored?
Posted on 5/13/17 at 10:45 am to genuineLSUtiger
Always good for schools to throw millions of dollars of food away.
A great, great policy.

Were kids fatter or skinnier 30 years ago?

I know its been said but we really upgraded big time in the first lady department.
