My son's elementary school implemented this crap too and the first three days he complained he was hungry so I pack him snacks and now better food than what the school provides.

Complaints Mount Against Michelle Obama’s New Lunch Menu
[link to townhall.com]
In Wisconsin, high school athletes are complaining about not getting enough to eat each day, due to the skimpy new school lunch menu mandated by the United States Department of Agriculture and First Lady Michelle Obama.
The story we published earlier this week on that subject is unfortunately not unique. Students across the country are complaining about the new school lunch regulations.
Perhaps the real motive is to starve students into slimming down. Just ask students in Pierre, South Dakota who, too, are in an all-out revolt.

The problem, however, is in the limit of protein — meats, cheese, sour cream, yogurt (but not milk) — and grains to 2 ounces each for young children and 3 ounces for high schoolers. The new rules set the minimum at only 1 oz. of protein per meal, said Salley Young, a Montana School Nutrition Association executive board member and food service manager at Greenfield Elementary School.
In rural communities, some students get on the bus at 7:15 a.m., have school all day and then participate in activities in the evening, pushing dinner time to 8 p.m. or later, meaning they need more food than the minimums set, she said.
“You can’t make a quarter-pound hamburger with 2 ounces of bread 2 ounces of meat,” Young said. “A 2-ounce hamburger — you can just imagine.”
School lunch mandate makes no sense

I thought in the United States we had freedom of choice. It is becoming more like we are living under a dictatorship. What's next? Is the government going to mandate a law requiring all restaurants to serve a fruit and vegetable with every entree? It would be interesting to find out if our officials who support this law are eating a fruit and vegetable with their meal.
