Michelle Obama's "Healthy Food Program" Rant

[Nuclear Nerd]

So Michelle Obama's Healthy Food Program was started with the intentions of lowering obesity, which is a big problem.

However in my personal experience the program has increased costs of food, thus cutting funding from other things, also it limits the calories to 750 - 850, an active teenager needs 2000-5000 per day to be healthy.

Kids are just packing lunches which are far more unhealthy, over 1 million kids have stopped eating school lunch due to this.

 

So, I just started school today, and have noticed healthier foods over the past few years due to this, but they were still decently palatable.

However,in 2nd period our principal came to every class to tell us not to bully... and not to blame the lunch ladies for the food, which was odd because in all the previous years he had never mentioned that, but nobody thought anything of it.

But we all received a shock in the lunchroom, no pepperoni on pizza, no chicken sandwiches(My favorite thing there), no hamburgers,no hot pretzels, so we all found the one palatable thing in there, chicken bites, mashed potatoes, and breadsticks.

Also, it has removed most meat, and everyone I know agrees the food tastes like $h1t, one of my friends described the "breadsticks" as tasting like "Stale pizza goldfish with way to much onion".

I only ate the chicken and some mashed potatoes after that thought.

The chicken tasted like whole wheat breading with some mystery meat, and the potatoes tasted like the kind you may find on a street corner in the middle of the desert with sand on them.

 

Sorry for the rant but this $h1t sucks.

She and her husband needs to get out of the white house and stop butting into the private lives of citizens, seriously.

[Ryan Leech]

Yeah she ruined my High School cafeteria too. Good thing I'm in college now

[Mooshi]

I'm not even sure if that "healthier" crap Michelle is pushing is even classified as food. There are healthier things you can make at home that are actually delicious. This is just government approved slop and nothing more. I doubt any of it has any real nutritional value.

[AlwaysFSX]

Yeah it seems that eating healthy means fake shit with garbage artificial vitamins pumped in to it. 

[jezza39]

Kids shouldn't be eating pizza and hamburgers on a daily basis for lunch, no wonder their are ridiculous obesity problems in the US. Just because that junk is high calorie doesn't mean it's good for people who need more energy, its full of saturated fat, salt and sugar.

 

You should be thankful. Be thankful you eat at all and not starve like high school kids in Africa and parts of Asia do.

[Guest]

They're trying.

 

But subsidized foods and genetic modification, and resource monopilization are all fucking up a food system that was so far beyond repair by 2008 that we're swimming in a pool of lies. 'All Natural,' 'Whole Wheat,' all that shit is fake.

You say that like Obama leaving would change anything, who do you think instituted the NSA's spying programs that mine your data? It sure as hell wasn't Obama, in the grand scheme of things having crappy food in schools is a pretty fucking inconsequential level of intrusion compared to the data that various government agencies gather on it's own dammed citizens.

They should stop messing with school lunches. If a kid wants to be fat, let him be fat.

[Jacona]

Shame America is in my opinion too big to fully enforce any sort of "trivial" regulation.

 

I mean look at South Korea and France, they receive full three course meals similar to home and traditional cooking.

soon everyone will be vegan

Pizza and burgers aren't exactly unhealthy, it's the way they're made that makes them unhealthy. All this fake crap in our foods is what's making people fat.

 

Don't forget a large portion of this country doesn't like to do any form of exercise so you can't blame the food in it's entirety.

I would rather starve that eat that garbage.

 

*completely serious*

I already am

[TheKDub]

Yeah the (Excuse my language) bitch needs to quit fucking up our lunches.

[Firearm2112]

When I was in grade school, the lunches were awesome. Then I just started bringing my lunch after this catastrophe happened.

To be honest, Obama having two terms is no different than Dubya getting to serve two more. Both will be remembered as horrible leaders who tanked our reputation abroad and made future generations owing trillions to their country for their shady policies.

This.

 

You should see how many calories are scarfed down by Olympic athletes when they are in training. Fatty food isn't as omg terrible if you actually burn the calories off.

In the grand scheme of things, who is in the office is barely relevant of what happens in the school Cafeteria.

This issue is so mundane, if I were in her position I would have probably made it a memo to DOE or HHS.

 

You guys are acting like she's picking out the menu for you. I'm 95% sure all she's doing is posing guideline requirements.

Schools need a complete overhaul, and honestly the cafeteria should be one of the things lower in priority. I never even ate school food after middle school, I brought my own food.

Yeah kids are choosing not to eat rather than eat that shit. I'm 25 and I didn't eat what they fed us, you can call that healthy all you want, but I'll let you eat it first.

 

The issue isn't how much (to some extent) people eat or even as much what they eat, it's that they don't burn any of it off. I asked my trainer at golds gym if I needed to go on a diet when I was looking to build muscle (instead of losing weight, just going straight to turning it into muscle) and he said hell no, your body needs fuel, eat fat and protein, but not right before you work out. Your body needs fuel to run, but if you flood it and don't burn it off you get fat.

Some schools won't let you, they claim it's unfair to the "poor" students who can't bring one, the poor ones with $150 nike's and me with my walmart shoes and a bag lunch.

Ive never heard of schools not letting you bring your own lunch. thats dumb.....

[Trik'Stari]

There have been several instances nationwide of teachers/administators "confiscating" school lunches because they're "unhealthy" or "its not fair to the poor students". I for one don't want children, but if I did, they'd be going to a private school, not a religious one, but a private one none the less. Behold, behold the "benefits" of socialism, "everyone get free school lunch! is boiled cardboard! all hail glorious leader"

[HerEscutcheon]

After reading all the negativity towards Michelle Obama's attempts at getting children more healthy, I'd rather they focus more on basic grammar.
