USDA to make school lunches edible again. Michelle Obama hardest hit.

There were just as many fat kids 50 years ago as there are today. You just didn't know about it because the internet wasn't hammering it into your brain every day.

PS, parents encouraged their kids to eat fruits and veggies back then, too...just like Michelle Obama!!!

I was just looking at my 6th grade panoramic picture and with 85 +- kids only two chubby ones. That was 1971. I'm not buying what you are selling. We played outside almost everyday for hours. Its hard to be overweight when you run and play hard for hours on a daily basis, that and chores.
Playing Pong was fun for about 4 minutes. I
And responsible parents still push healthy foods.

So with that thinking the school system should be making a profit verses costing the taxpayers money?

What does school lunch cost these days, $2.50? Pretty sure they're not making a profit.

I am 62, and as far as school lunches, they sucked. I don't care who is/was calling the shots.

You forget that most public school systems also provide for free-reduced (1) Breakfast, (2) Lunch, (3) after-school snacks, and (4) Summer Free-Reduced meals. The paying students are like an American taxpayers exercise, they pay for the 43%.

You don't believe that a well rounded, fresh and good tasting lunch can't be bought for $ 2.35 ?
How about, Maybe the parents should stop subsidizing the 30 cent breakfast and the 40 cent lunch for the kids that their lazy parents that wouldn't get a job.
Maybe then they can cook enjoyable meals in the cafeteria..
