Ivanka Trump on Thursday launched a public push to get more fresh produce and healthy food to American consumers, taking a page out of former first lady Michelle Obama’s playbook.
In 2018, Ivanka’s father oversaw the rollback of Obama’s school lunch standards, with then-Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue claiming that children would just throw away healthy food and therefore get zero nutrition.
On Obama’s birthday in 2020, the president’s Department of Agriculture proposed to weaken the standards even more, allowing schools to reduce the amount of fruits and vegetables in favor of more pizza and burgers.
Yet some conservatives rushed in to claim that “big government” was obstructing parental choice.
Former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, for instance, attempted to mock Obama’s initiative by bringing 200 cookies to a Christian school.
