TW,
You keep saying that Michelle is "encouraging" child nutrition.
She helped develop and push through the Child Nutrition Bill.
Now, you could argue that it's a fairly bipartisan bill and actually does some good. But regardless of the intent or even the results, this is just one more example of big government.
THink about it: Why should the FEDERAL governemtn DICTATE what kids can eat and what the schools should serve?
Why should the federal government be able to BAN food items on a national level?
It's a joke.
And if you think it's a good thing then I feel sorry for you since you obviously live in a town that needs this type of babysitting.
You want your kid to eat healthy? Do what I do and send them with a bag lunch.
A nice sandwich, some seasonal fruit, and (gasp) some cookies or chips. At least until the latter are banned.
Yes.
I said banned.
And if you think this is fear mongering, then you haven't read the bill.
I have paid close attention to this subject matter.
One of my daughters had dietary problems that resulted in her being severly underweight. To the point where it started to cause developmental issues.
For a period of time, the ONLY thing she would eat at lunch was peanut butter and sometimes chips or Doritoes.
As Michelle's pet project to fix the little porkies gains momentum, there are schools all around the nation that are banning any fried food including snack chips. Add this to the local issues concerning peanut allegies and I would be faced with a far worse problem and lots of red tape to fight through. Simply because I want to send my kids to school with a lunch she's eat.
It's pure BS, and it's just one more facet of our lives that uncle sam is trying to control.
CONTROL.
And people like you think "well, it would be nice to curb obesity". But you don't look at the real life big picture.
F*ck the federal government for trying to control our lives.
And F*ck michelle obama for turning a great proactive initiative into expensive legislation.
Appologies to Chewbacca for all the previous wookie comments.
