Good grief.. Bipartisan legislation was released on Monday by the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee. Allowing them to finally bring a partial END to past years of frustration over what American children were being forced to eat in school cafeterias. You know, her highness Michelle Obama’s idea of a healthy lunch. If this legislation passes, it will become a superhero to children all across America, greatly changing the current guidelines Michelle has in place now in regards to their eating options at school. This is good news…
If it becomes law, the five-year bill would make dramatic changes to the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, the deeply unpopular, Michelle Obama-championed 2010 legislation that restricts school lunches in taxpayer-funded schools — but not the private school first children Malia and Sasha attend.

The main features of the bill are provisions that ease stringent rules requiring school districts to purchase whole grains and delay limits on sodium, reports the Associated Press.
Under current federal law, America’s public schools must use whole grains at least 80 percent of the time if they take federal school lunch money.
The bill also compels federal bureaucrats to figure out how to stop the massive waste that occurs on a daily basis in America when American kids chuck their fruits and vegetables in the trash. Under current law, cafeteria workers are required by law to foist soon-to-be-wasted fruits and vegetables on kids.
“In the absence of increased funding, this agreement eases operational challenges and provides school meal programs critical flexibility to help them plan healthy school meals that appeal to students,” School Nutrition Association president Jean Ronnei said, according to the Associated Press.
Have you seen the pictures circulating out there? Michelle’s idea of a healthy balanced lunch, seems more like an attempt at starving our children. It’s really disgusting honestly. I’m interested to see where this goes. Although lately, regardless of what changes are made over the influence she has on our children’s lunches… home schooling is still looking like a much better route. The world is going mad…
