Eat hearty mates? [Obama’s healthy school lunches]

Eat hearty with Obama healthy lunches? Many children reject Obama lunch food:

Scorn grows  for Michelle Obama’s healthy lunches:  Students in a rural Kentucky county — and their parents — are the latest to join a growing national chorus of scorn for the healthy school lunches touted by first lady Michelle Obama.

“They say it tastes like vomit,”

said Harlan County Public Schools board member Myra Mosley at a contentious board meeting last week, reports The Harlan Daily Enterprise.Under the National School Lunch Program, participating schools must provide lunches — including free or reduced price lunches — with minimum amounts of fresh fruits, fresh vegetables and whole grains. Also, in what presumably falls outside the hunger-free aspect of the act, there’s a calorie cap: 850 for high school lunches, 700 for middle schools and a mere 650 calories for kids in elementary school.

But the big question is why parent(s) don’t make the lunches. Are we all that impoverished or just lazy and entitled?
