LET THEM EAT CAKE!!!

[ScienceRocks]

The more educated the population, the better off we're as a nation. The only way we can educate the entire population is through public schools.

You people are insane for suggesting otherwise. Do we need reforms? I say so.

 

[Statistikhengst]

dig up a high end menu and just say it was for the POTUS, don't give a credible link... post low end school lunches, if in fact they are school lunches ... don't give a credible link..

notice a pattern here?

the missing link is missing a link or two ..

LMAO

Weasel Zippers !!!

As usual, the class dunce is the only one unaware of the FACTS.

For example, the scrumptious menu for Friday, Jan. 9 at the school where the Obamas send their children is:

Soup du Jour


Panzanella Salad


Blackened Portobello Salad


All Natural Winter Chicken Stew


Biscuits


Ratatouille


Steamed Broccoli


Egg Noodles


Sliced Melon

Obama Kids Lunches Vs. Public School Food The Daily Caller

There's a thousand links out there just like this one. Many of them from liberal sites like HuffPo.

But you don't want to know because you don't want to know.

Stupid and uninformed is no way to go through life, loser.

buck up

Well, at least you called them "children" this time. In an earlier posting, you called them his "spawn". I assume that your meds are kicking in now. They are good for about 3 hours, right?



And it is just amazing that that your Daily Caller link whines like a bunch of socialists, and yet, YOU support it

 

[ScienceRocks]

We should feed all of our children! That's the right thing to do.

There are nowhere near enough private schools to accept 50 million students with "vouchers".

They simply don't exist.

Vouchers are yet another example of "small government" conservatives wanting the government to give them a handout.

'Vouchers' are yet another example of errant conservative dogma, and its unwarranted hostility toward public schools.

 

[Statistikhengst]

Feed your own children, people. From what I understand from a few friends who are in education, the real problem with school lunches is a matter of funding, not nutrition guidelines. The funding level is already weak, and then most kids are getting free lunches which strains the food budget even more. That results in shit food. The solution is to feed your own children.

We already covered that. Many Schools inspect the brown-bag kids and force them to throw away non-approved food from home.

Seig Heil

You claim that happens at "many" schools, and yet you've only provided a link of it happening once, at one school.

You didn't see the link that showed that the New York School System is objecting to the Sasquatch's menu program?

Are you trying to claim that New York schools are confiscating lunches brought from home?

Cause your link doesn't say that.

I didn't say that, but these links do....

Uhhh, your first link refers to students whose SCHOOL LUNCHES, the one's get got in the lunch line, were taken away because of NON PAYMENT.

So, are you just a socialist, or a thief? Of course, it was stupid for that UTAH school to do this. One parent was only 30 cents in arrears.....


I just love it when a Con posts a claim and then backs it up with something completely different.

Hint: you should READ your links before posting them, boytoy.

I believe in freedom and choices for our people. The parents should have the power to send their children where they wish with our tax dollars. Do you agree?

That's a meltdown for the record books, right there.

Responding to your posts is not an act of persecution against you. We are posters first, as well as moderators - why the fuck would we waste our time moderating if we didn't enjoy posting here?

This is a message board. Responding to your posts does not "shut down" anything - it's exactly the point of the message board. If you want a message board where no one is allowed to disagree with you, I'd suggest buying your own, and not letting anyone else join.

Do you not understand that those choices do not exist?

Do you not get that there aren't enough private schools for every American child?

Do you not understand basic economics?

It would be far more economically sound to put that "voucher money" towards improving public schools, where those dollars would stretch further and benefit a larger number of students.

Here's a thought.......

Have two accounts....

One for your personal use, another for official use. I might even offer up some suggestions on what you can call yourself...... Or not. They all sound the same and include the word, 'douche'

Don't tell me you don't like strutting around in here with your 'moderator' badge prominently displayed in your sidebar.

If you do, I'll call you a liar

Why should I have two accounts? I'm perfectly happy with just one.

Do you have any cake?

Not if you have anything to say about it.

If you put chips on top of it, he may even eat it more quickly. Consider it a school lunch!!!

 

[Statistikhengst]

Did an idiot just try to compare a state dinner to public school lunches?

Damn, the entertainment value of this shit cannot even be estimated.

how about we compare to the Sidley Friends school lunches?

Why? Is a state dinner the same thing as a private school?

 

[Agit8r]

Kids belong to themselves. Can't teach individualism without self-ownership.

 

[zeke]

No thanks. I got your number.

You've got some power in here so you wield it to bully other people into making a mistake.

Enjoy yourself. This is probably the only place you can

Got your ass handed to you. Again. Now you wanna cry. You peoples picking on me. Bullies. Too fucking funny.

 

[zeke]

I mean, seriously. You two Moderators (I use the term advisedly) come into this thread, throw your weight around, taunt and bully and essentially shut the thread down.

Is that what USMB Moderators do these days? Shut down threads?

Quit your fucking whining. You post nothing but bullshit and these folks called you on it. Made you look stupid.. Which isn't hard as you do a good job of that yourself.

Man up (if you can) and quit fucking whining.

 

[Statistikhengst]

So, this has been one of the more entertaining threads I have read in a long time.

It goes like this.

A butthurt, whacked-out, off-his-meds RWNJ tries to make a connection between:

the menu served at a STATE DINNNER served at Republic Day in India, for the most powerful man in the world, our President, Barack Obama (D - elected TWICE with over 51% of the PV, just to remind) and the PM and President of the largest Democracy in the world, India, a land experiencing unparalleled economic growth, a land with which we now have more cooperation than ever before and a trade deal that is going to bring about 100 billion into our country.

-and-

an ordinary public school lunch.

That in and of itself is just as funny as fuck.

But then, said butthurt, whacked-out, off-his-meds RWNJ goes off on the President's daughters, calling them "spawn", and and the first Lady of the United States of America, Michelle Obama, calling her "Sasquatch", claiming that the big gubbermint is ruining our kids' lunches. To prove that the big old gubbermint is doing this, Mr. off-his-meds brings links that do not show this. Rather, they show cases of kids losing their SCHOOL LUNCHES (not their homemade lunch bags) due to non-payment.

Said butthurt, whacked-out, off-his-meds RWNJ also claims that private schools are cheaper than public schools.



And so, in just one thread, said butthurt, whacked-out, off-his-meds RWNJ has outed himself as big old closet socialist and communist who wants the same for everyone.

I say: let him eat cake!!


Thank you, Edgetho. Thank you. You are totally insane, but dear Lord, your stuff is soooo fun to read. The only thing missing on this thread would be the fake Rabbi's very special form of raw hatred and bile. Next time, invite him, so that your thread gets a nice sour cherry on top, mkay??

Now, back to the OP title:

LET THEM EAT CAKE!!!


Ok, let's see how bad so many PUBLIC SCHOOLS have it.

Here is the January lunch menu for Medina HS, Medina, OH:

High School Lunch January 2015.pdf - Google Drive

Oh, that stuff just looks HORRIBLE!! Medina is a PUBLIC SCHOOL in an upscale area not far from Akron or Cleveland, OH.

And here is the menu from Northmont High School, Clayton, OH:

http://www.northmontschools.com/Uploads/HS LUNCH MENU 2014-15 WK 1-2.pdf

Northmont does a rotating schedule every two weeks and at least two completely different meals are offered every day, plus side dishes. Northmont is a PUBLIC school with an average tax base:

Oh my God, Chicken Alfredo!! How terrrible! Tossed salad is offered - it's Sasquatch-time! Run screaming from the room!! Eat your greens!! MISERY!!!

The horrors, the horrors. I bet those kids will just never survive this torture.

[zeke]

Statis, I see you used a couple of Ohio schools. Makes me think you might be in Ohio. As I am.
Did you recently read where the charter schools in Dayton were caught falsifying their student head counts?
Of course the charter schools get paid our tax dollars based on the numbers of students attending classes.
And they had to lie about the attendance rates.

Why should people support those schools? IMO they shouldn't.

Michelle Obama s School Lunch Program Faces Foes in Next Congress

Tucked into the massive $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill passed before Congress left town was a provision providing local school officials with greater flexibility with their school lunch menus, but it is not likely to end efforts by lawmakers to scale back the program championed by Michelle Obama – a move which may find its strongest supporters among students themselves.

"When lunch ends, I feel that the trashcans are more full than my stomach. If I don’t want an apple or piece of bread and I am handed them, I can guarantee that it will end up going to waste,” Lindsey Russell, a student at South Carolina's Fort Mill High told the Fort Mill Times.

Similar stories of waste and distaste of the school lunches have inspired a Twitter hashtag #thanksmichelleobama, which features students posting photos of their uneaten meals. Those kinds of complaints led to a number of schools in Wyoming to drop out of the federal program, reports The Daily Mail.

With Republicans controlling both chambers in the new Congress, the drive to push back against the nutritional requirements is likely to pick up speed, reports Politico.

Rep. Robert Aderholt, chairman of the House Appropriations Agriculture Subcommittee, and his Senate counterpart Sen. John Hoeven of North Dakota are likely to use the reauthorization of the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act to roll back some of the mandates on local schools.

Even the limited action taken to allow financially-strapped schools to scale back to 2012 levels the percentage of whole grains in their menus elicited a strong response from advocates of the first lady's Healthy Schools Program.

"I don't think we quite know the extent of what these provisions will do and how to move forward with them, This is the tip of the iceberg for them to keep chipping away and rescind a popular law that works," said the American Heart Association's Government Relations Manager Kristy Anderson, The Hill reports.


"Although well-intended, some of USDA’s rules went too far, too fast, and ended up driving students away from healthy school meals while unnecessarily driving up costs for schools," said School Nutrition Association (SNA) CEO Patricia Montague, said in a press release praising the move.

While the law was intended to boost healthy eating mandating specific nutritional guidelines, in recent years the level of student participation has continued to decline.

A Government Accountability Office (GAO) report released in January 2014 found that student participation in the National School Lunch Program declined by 1.2 million students (or 3.7 percent) from school year 2010-2011 through school year 2012-2013.

The decrease, the GAO said, was driven primarily by a decline of 1.6 million students eating school lunch who pay full price for meals, despite increases in students eating school lunch who receive free meals.

According to the GAO, officials they interviewed reported that they faced challenges with addressing plate waste and managing food costs, as well as planning menus and obtaining foods that complied with portion size and calorie requirements.

In September, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) released similar data showing participation in the school lunch program continues to decline in the 2014-15 school year with 183,510 fewer students choosing school lunch in September 2014 than September 2013.

[Uncensored2008]

Yes, the school lunch thing is stupid, but I don't see why parents just don't start sending a home lunch with their kids. I almost never bought food from the school cafeteria because it was cheap, unhealthy garbage.

I spent my senior year in high school eating a cafeteria salad every day for lunch.

At the time, I thought it was healthy. Now I know the iceburg lettuce and cheap Italian dressing were far from - but the illusion of healthy was there even in the 70's.
