Obama Signing Child Nutrition Bill Into Law

Published December 13, 2010
WASHINGTON -- President Obama is signing into law legislation to provide more lunches and dinners to school children and make those meals healthier.

Speaking at an elementary school in the District of Columbia, Obama says the legislation is about doing what is right for America's children and helping them reach their full potential. He applauded bipartisan lawmakers for passing the bill, saying it shows that both parties can come together on issues that matter for the future of children and the future of the nation.

Michelle Obama has been a supporter of the bill as part of her initiative to combat childhood obesity
. The first lady joined the president at the bill signing.

The $4.5 billion measure would expand free school meals for the needy and give the government the power to decide what kinds of foods may be sold in schools.

Hey oldschool, do you need to inject racial hatred into every thread? Your ignorance shows when you use pet names for Muslims. It shows your lack of education, intellect, ability to reason cognatively without prejudice, and basically the lack of evolution that you and your bloodline have expressed. Die off already, okay?

If it's true that pet owners tend to buy pets that look like themselves,
and muslims buy pets,
Then could not a muslim buy a pet, name it and others call them by their pet's names?

Sometimes I wonder how the nation's children ever managed to survive at all for the 150 or so years before the government got into the education business...kids walked to and from a local school, walked home at lunch time and ate there or brown bagged a lunch if they lived too far away from the school, and consequently weren't fat other than the one or two in every class that inevitably got called 'Porky' or 'Chubby' and nobody got expelled or dosed with Ritalin for it.

Ah the good ole days, when everything was perfect. By golly, things were just PERFECT back then. Of course, the average life span was much shorter, and the number one killer of men was industrial accidents (getting killed on the job is SO chinese!). Keep moving backwards, that's what I always say!

I don't differentiate or label anyone as "liberal," "right wing" or whatever. I'm pretty easy. If you follow the Govt, the TV, or the general sleepwalking public, and try to group the rest of us humans as such, then yes, I have no room for you in my life. Just the way I am. I don't "hate" anyone by the way. Death and dying are not the end according to my religion. Sleepwalking is.

Anyone catch Moochell's comment?
"we have to take the decision away from the parents".

Context was what they eat.....


They tell us what to buy, what to think, what our kids are allowed to learn and eat. How much of "their" money we get to keep...

Good times.

Funny you should mention that.

My kids were watching some kids news thing on Niceloden, with Linda Ellerbee as host. One of the kids they spotlighted was getting free school lunches because his mother was on public assistence. His mother was a diabetic and, for some unexplain reason, was disabled to the point where she couldn't work. As the report went, they noted that the kid sometime had to go hungry because he'd only get two meals a day on average, and those came from the school lunch program (or whatever they're calling it now).

The only problem with that statement was that the kid was some 20 lbs overweight.

Then there was a cashier I saw at a local Kroger who was advising a foreigner about what foods were and were not accepted by the WIC program (I think that was the one). I'll tell you this: it was pretty clear that she wasn't starving to death. In fact, it'd take about 50 years before she reached that point.

Childhood obesity is a problem. It is most likely spawned by these food giveaway programs instituted by the federal government.

I would venture to say it's more because of WHAT they are eating, not how much. You are entirely wrong in your statements above Jpotts. It's the food we eat that makes us fat, not how much of it. This is WHY some parents need to have their food choosing priveleges taken away.

Socialists are incapable of admitting that any of their wealth redistribution schemes are failures. They only conclude that not enough money was thrown at the problem, usually due to reluctance on the part of the 'greedy rich' to share their wealth.

Another "feel good" idea turned into government control and takeover of parenting rights.

This post is a shining example of what is wrong with the liberal mindset.
dsmokers makes a decent point, but then follows it up with the crux of the problem here:
He wants to legislate ALL parents because of the sins of SOME.

Mrs O herself stated very clearly that she wants government to take away a parents choice.
That means EVEN IF THE PARENT IS A GOOD PARENT, she wants our federal government to dictate what their kids can eat.


And the liberals wonder why so many Americans are moving towards the conservative side.
It's not because the GOP is doing it right. It's simply that they're not nearly as misguided as their liberal counterparts.


When the first lady says "We Can't Just Leave it Up to Parents." it is easy to see why reasonable people fear a nanny state.
And yes, that is her exact quote.
If it doesn't scare you, then you either want a bigger, more controlling government or you are too oblivious to care.

I take my dog to Doggy Daycare one a week, usually on Fridays so he can run and play and mingle with the other dogs.

Does that mean:

a. Since the girl behind the desk calls him my "fur child" "four legged child" that I would have my choice of kibble taken away?

B. If I give him extra bone bones or flippies, that I'm a bad parent? He does have a little extra weight...

C. That I shouldn't blow the smoke from the bong in his face?

First lady Michelle Obama plans to warn in remarks Monday that the nation is seeing “a groundswell of support” for curbing childhood obesity, and she is unveiling new ammunition from current and retired military leaders.

“Military leaders … tell us that when more than one in four young people are unqualified for military service because of their weight,” the first lady says in the prepared remarks, “childhood obesity isn’t just a public health threat, it’s not just an economic threat, it’s a national security threat as well."

That was actually my next example.

So, I'm in a McDonalds, and I'm going to get a "lunch on the run." I'm behind a kid who has ten dollars in his hand, and his mom is standing right next to him. She's wearing some of the most God-awful clothing - a glittering gold jumpsuit and a matching "cap." Her hair is dyed pink...maybe it's his grandmother - not exactly sure - but they are related.

The kid gets up to the counter, and orders more than ten dollars worth of food. He's got a Quarter Pounder in there, fries, Chicken McNuggets...I mean, he's loading up his frickin' tray with food. And the mother / grandmother is just standing there, and doing nothing. He goes over his limit, so he has to "compromise" to get the maximum amount of food for his money. I think he came in just shy of the full ten-dollars.

I ordered what I usually get: a frickin' hamburger and a Diet Coke. The kid had some fifteen-times more food than me, and he was off to his obvious favorite place of engorgement. The guardian obviously had no problem with her little rugrat consuming three times his bodyweight in McDonalds vittles. And the kid, from what I remember, wasn't starving in the least.

However, I will say this: it was pretty clear to me that these people were not "wealthy" given where I was at (Pontiac). Odds are, given the area, one of those two was receiving some sort of public assistence.

Then again, if you're used to getting basically something for nothing, and don't have the discipline or the pride to earn what you receive, I seriously doubt that you'll have the attitude required to enforce restraint on your kids.

My one of my kids started to get a little overweight, and we frickin' cracked-down on him and his eating habits. Then again, we don't take any public assistence (and I thank God for that on a daily basis).

Well, if the Nicelodean special was correct, and the kid was indeed only getting two meals, they most likely were from breakfast and lunch from the school.

Both of those would have been subsidized under the various federal school nutrition initiatives.

As for parents getting the food-coosing privlidges taken away, the parents have no say in what their kid eats in these programs. So, I fail to see where your point is actually reinforced...aside from utter stupidity.

Eh? Maybe we should stop making the bad for us food so cheap and make the good for us stuff less expensive.

$1.49 - $2.99 a # for apples vs .99 value menu at McDogvomits.
$4.99 a # for boneless breast o' chix vs. $4.99 for 6# of chocolate candies.
.59 for a donut at Wawa vs .79 for an orange.
$5 for an endless buffet of crap at Hong Kong palace vs $7 for a bottomless salad at Fridays.
