Is Michelle really serious about child nutrition, or is the goal here just to screw over the middle class.

The one thing everyone seems to be missing here is that this lunch, in all likelihood, was provided to the child free. Michelle needs to mind her own business, but there is a strong idea, amongst apparently everyone in the country, that somehow the child in question is owed a lunch that the child and the parent like. NEWSFLASH.....this is what happens when you rely on government to provide for you!

One other point...If the first lady is so excited about nutrition.....how about changes the SNAP program. With all the bar codes that are assigned to every item in the store, it would be very easy to put prepared foods, potato chips, snack foods and soda on the list of items that cannot e purchased with the EBT card. But nooooo!! The administration won’t do that , that would improve nutrition amongst those poor downtrodden "High risk groups" but it wouldn’t screw over the middle class in this country.

    Unfortunately you are correct. Where I live the Tribe just bought a grocery store. The store is being shut down and instead turned into a Commodities Distribution Center because the current one isn't big enough. Of course all those jobs at the grocery store went away also.

    That would never happen, in many school districts a major portion of the students are getting free lunches. Their worthless parents are damn sure not going to dip in to their EBT funds to pack a lunch! [I am being generous here in using the plural when I refer to parents!] If this program was properly administered, the EBT and WIC money should go down during the school year as the poor starving waifs are getting fed at school. But it doesn't. The whole operation is a wealth transfer program from the producers to the moochers, with government moochers in the middle getting their cut.

    Bleh! My mom always packed us a good, nutritious brown bag lunch. Now parents are being criminalized for doing the same. What would happen if all the parents got together and sent a brown bag lunch all on the same day?

    A great example of why parents should just say no and tell moochelle and the rest of the grubment to butt out.
