"There will be more whole grains on school lunch menus this year, along with a wider selection of fruits and vegetables and other healthy options. The challenge is getting children to eat them," says The Daily Mail, which also called the new, USDA-imposed cafeteria changes "a victory for Michelle (Obama)." Nonfat milk, calorie limits, and minimum veggie requirements are now the order of the day, but don't think that the changes will stop there.
To get a taste of where the First Lady is trying to ultimately take kids' lunches,
check out what was dished up at the White House 'kids' state dinner': cabbage sloppy joes, baked zucchini fries, and kale chips. You can get the recipes here--and you know you want them!
Basically, her goal seems to be to get kids to eat weird hippie food. I'm a grown man and the thought of a cabbage-infused faux sloppy joe is almost enough to make me hurl. What kid is going to want to eat it?
“We don’t want healthy trash cans. We want kids who are eating this stuff,” said one school official from Florida. Well, good luck with that.
In other news today: Believe it or not, there are actually people who think the White House needs to have more influence on the food we eat, to save us from threats like killer cantaloupes. Which are more dangerous than terrorists, dontchaknow.
