And I’d they are throwing away the food and it ends up being used as compose, that rather defeats the purpose…or they flat out refuse to buy school lunches.
And when the schools are ok with the growing obesity epidemic, and police academies can’t find fit recruits – and our Armed Forces can’t find suitable soldiers because they’re all out of shape – that compromises national security. Courtesy of a president who has no concept whatsoever of exercise and physical fitness – at least Clinton gave up Big Macs, and Obama gave up smoking…what a SHAMEFUL example Trump is setting for our nation’s kids. Absolutely shameful.
So, when are you going to start FORCING kids to give up their computers and start running around the block?And when the schools are ok with the growing obesity epidemic, and police academies can’t find fit recruits – and our Armed Forces can’t find suitable soldiers because they’re all out of shape – that compromises national security.

I’m pretty sure there’s no obesity epidemic among the Radical Islamic terrorists who want to kill us. Nope, we’re #1 on that list.
I don’t know about you, but i don’t look toward the government to set the example for healthy eating and exercise routines. That responsibility falls squarely on me as the parent. I limit the amount of time in front of tv or tablets, I make my kids go outside and play (actually they do this most of the time themselves) and i choose what food to put in front of them at meal times. None of what i do in this regard has been influenced by unnecessary nanny state regulations. Kids aren’t obese because the president eats a big mac and has cake after meals. They are obese because their parents let them get that way.And when the schools are ok with the growing obesity epidemic, and police academies can’t find fit recruits – and our Armed Forces can’t find suitable soldiers because they’re all out of shape – that compromises national security.

For many kids, the only decent meal they get is at school. Sure, given the choice between something healthy and something with tons of sodium, fat and sugar, they are accustomed to the second choice. Why not have cigarettes there for them also? It would be good for the tobacco industry and help create more jobs in it.
Michelle was promoting exercise as well (the “Let’s Move” program). It’s not forcing children to exercise but considering she was accused of starting a nanny state with her initiatives, forcing children to exercise would have increased those accusations.
I agree completely! I spent my whole childhood finding a way to be outside, even if I had to take my homework to the barn. I chased my kids outside. I grew up in the country and I live in the country now where the last child grew up. The older kids lived in the country to start then in a small town until high school but they had a playground and a large park within walking distance.
I grew up on school lunches and never had a weight problem. They were nutritious and warm lunches and were full meals. I looked forward to lunch everyday.And when the schools are ok with the growing obesity epidemic, and police academies can’t find fit recruits – and our Armed Forces can’t find suitable soldiers because they’re all out of shape – that compromises national security.

And don’t forget the ketchup. Because that’s considered a vegetable or something like that.
Yeah, heaven forbid we encourage children to exercise. I don’t recall ever seeing an overweight Radical Islamist terrorist. They’re all THIN. How will we equip our Armed Forces with the strongest and most fit if all the kids growing up today are all couch potatoes?
Those lunches were vastly different than today’s school lunches. Remember how ketchup got labeled a vegetable? Pizza, chicken nuggets, and burritos are far more common on today’s lunch menus, along with disgusting sugary abominations like strawberry milk. Believe it or not, Michelle’s initiatives were an attempt to love school lunches back to the sort you experienced.
Speaking of exercise, why is it that there are no more sidewalks?
Nailed it. This is just one of MANY areas where the Feds are sticking their noses into areas that are none of their business. Don’t get me started.
When it’s used to the extent that I use it at some meals, to could be considered a veggie serving. (Well, it’s actually a fruit, but you know what I mean
)I agree!Additinally,what incentive is there for these kids to adopt a healthy diet ,when they see Obama and Michelke chomping down a juicy cheeseburger and fries?
