School Meals
Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act

Last Modified: 03/03/2014
Improving child nutrition is the focal point of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. The legislation authorizes funding and sets policy for USDA's core child nutrition programs: the National School Lunch Program, the School Breakfast Program, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), the Summer Food Service Program, and the Child and Adult Care Food Program. The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act allows USDA, for the first time in over 30 years, opportunity to make real reforms to the school lunch and breakfast programs by improving the critical nutrition and hunger safety net for millions of children

 

Of course they did. They were gobbling up pizza, hamburgers, chicken nuggets, French fries.. Etc. Yanno, all that healthy crap.

Kids can eat anything they like because they are active.

Do you really think this MOD EDIT>>>FLAME BAIT<<< Meal is enough food for a growing kid?

A school is expected to be a place where teaching and intelligent choices are nurtured. Why should a school promote (*)(*)(*)(*) food so that big industry and Food, Inc, can profit???
Only a dolt would condone schooling to not include the importance of nutrition. Was is the matter with you? Personally, I don't give a rat's butt what any backwards backwoods parent shovels into their kids gullet. In NY the healthy lunch initiatives are working and have successfully cut down child obesity and since that is the state and city where I pay taxes, that is good enough for me.

Time out. You people are the SAME ones who constantly (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) and moan about what low-income people buy with EBT cards (chips, sodas, etc...) yet now want to (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) and moan that now they have to eat healthy at school. CONGRATULATIONS. Hypocrisy at the very highest degree.

 

No adequate rebuttal to my post so you post a picture of the FLOTUS eating? Yeah, okay, whatever.

 

OK, you want to go down that street, fine. If MO can dictate to the kids what choices they have, why doesn't she do the same with EBT'ers? I mean, both are funded with tax dollars and if she's so damn obsessed with her healthy eating platform why wouldn't she dictate EBT cards can only be used to purchase foods she deems as healthy? Especially EBT'ers who have kids have in public schools?

 

Guess what? I'm fine with that. I've always said as much about food stamp usage.

Now, do you still think that school lunches the way she's suggesting are wrong?

 

cannot speak for publican but for myself, I dislike 'healthy food' in the schools because apparently the schools are incapable of turning this 'healthy food' into something hungry students actually will eat...you do remember that the purpose of the entire school lunch program is to provide at least one meal a day to poor kids. Explain to me how trash cans full of discarded 'healthy food' serves that goal.

 

Where does that state kids must eat something?

Sorry, but I would have to say those kids are not that hungry if they will not eat.

Goal of the school lunch program

http://www.fns.usda.gov/nslp/history_4

Explain how having kids throw their lunches in the garbage supports that goal?

As the feeding of adults via food stamps has nothing to do whatever with the feeding of children in schools, your argument fails.

 

Is it? The other poster said that it was the law that kids must eat this food. I don't see that anywhere. Do you?

 

You mean...'let them eat cake'? If the program is not being used, time to stop it.

 

The laws do say that lunches from school systems accepting food aid from the feds can only provide the glop that is being passed off as healthy food. As not every family can afford to provide lunches from home, the only two options presented are eating the glop or throwing it away.

 

Yes, rhetoric aside, that is correct. However, what it does not say is that kids must eat it.

- - - Updated - - -

Is it not being used?

 

OH ok. Yes, because no kids benefit from food stamps. Your reply fails.

Well????

 

Read the bill.

She's a rib eating hypocrite.

 

I did. it does not say what you claim.

Now that being said, can we simply agree that outrage over this program is not based on logic, but rather hatred of Michelle Obama? Why on earth would there be any fare offered in public schools other than healthy food?

 

Sure it does. In fact, Congress is going to roll back her BS demands...............

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...e-department-to-roll-back-some-healthy-lunch/

Schools ask Congress, Agriculture Department to roll back some healthy lunch rules

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Becky Domokos-Bays of Alexandria City Public Schools has served her students whole-grain pasta 20 times. Each time, she said, they rejected it.

Starting next school year, pasta and other grain products in schools will have to be whole-grain rich, or more than half whole grain. That includes rolls, biscuits, pizza crust, tortillas and even grits.

The requirement is part of a government effort to make school lunches and breakfasts healthier. Championed by first lady Michelle Obama, the new standards have been phased in over the last two school years, with more changes coming in 2014

 

No, it does not. Nowhere does it state that kids must eat this food.

Sounds like a wonderful and productive use of time for Congress, to demand that kids are served less healthy food. I expect the GOP to work on this tirelessly, endlessly, demonstrating to the world their adherence to the petty.

 

So you didn't read the law. Sounds like something Pelosi would do.

Sounds like a wonderful and productive use of time for Congress, to demand that kids eat what they are told to eat or else. Oh and look at the date of the link. It was March of this year when dems had control. Thanks for playing.

 

I did scan the law, which is how I know you are wrong. Control F, the most wonderful thing ever.

Yes, and nowhere does your law say kids must eat this food. Nowhere. It simply does not say what you claim. There is not requirement that kids eat the food. You, good sir, are wrong.

Democrats had control of Congress in March? Are you sure that they were not just the majority in the Senate whilst the GOP had the majority in the House?

I think your "thanks for playing" may have been a bit premature.

Furthermore, your statement was in future tense, That would be the GOP in control of both the House and the Senate.

Again, I think your "thanks for playing" may have been a bit premature.
