Trump ends Michelle Obama's effort to fight child hood obesity.

[Rustic]

This adminstration just doesn't stop, nor does it care. Childhood obesity and Type 2 diabetes is skyrocketing in this country. Parents should teach their kids good healthy eating habits, but it should also be reinforced in our public schools.

WASHINGTON – After only six days on the job, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue moved to stall one of former First Lady Michelle Obama’s signature accomplishments: stricter nutritional standards for school breakfasts and lunches, which feed more than 31 million children.

Speaking at Catoctin Elementary School in Leesburg, Virginia, on Monday with Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kansas, and Patricia Montague of the School Nutrition Association, Perdue announced that his department would be slowing the implementation of aggressive standards on sodium, whole grains and sweetened milks that passed under the Obama administration.

“We know meals cannot be nutritious if they’re not consumed, if they’re thrown out,” Perdue told reporters after eating chicken nuggets and salad with a group of fifth graders. “We have to balance sodium and whole grain content with palatability.”

It was the second blow to the Obama administration’s nutritional legacy in less than a week. On Friday, the Food and Drug Administration signaled its intent to rewrite long-delayed menu-labeling rules passed as part of the Affordable Care Act. Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee also attached several nutrition-related riders to this week’s appropriations bill, including one that targeted voluntary industry sodium-reductions.

“I feel that we have made such progress in schools meals over the past five years,” said Miriam Nelson, a public health researcher who helped advise Michelle Obama’s nutrition initiatives. “This progress has contributed to reversing the trend in childhood obesity rates nationwide . . . We want to continue the progress we have made.”

School lunches have seen a radical makeover in the past five years. Since 2012, when the nutrition rules mandated by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act went into effect, cafeterias have had to slash the amount of calories, trans-fats, sodium and refined grains in their foods, replacing cafeteria staples like conventional pizza with salt-reduced, whole-grain versions. They are also required to serve fruit, a variety of vegetables, and low-fat or fat-free milk.

Who Gives a fucking shit? The federal government fucks everything up they touch… fact

If that were true, your country must be a Third World shithole, where all white people need armed guards to fend off the hungry, and poor, and guerrilla warfare results in daily casualty reports.

If you are living in the wealthiest country in the world with clean drinking water, safe public spaces and falling crime rates, where anyone can get a free education, and have all of the First World luxuries, then the government must have done a WHOLE lot of things right.

When did things start to change for the worse: When Ronald Reagan engineered the transfer of the wealth of the nation from the working class to the 1% using the tax code.

Personal wealth peaked in 1980. That's when Americans, across the board, had some level of savings and equity. From 1981 to date, the tax code changes have steadily siphoned off the wealth of the working and middle class in favour of the nation's wealthy and large corporations.

Now Trump is going to give massive tax breaks to the wealthy and eliminate the inheritance tax just as Baby Boomers (the richest generation ever) starts dying off and transferring their wealth to their children.

This will not end well for the US economy.

You have no idea what living poor is like, try growing up on the pineridge Indian reservation...

Yeah, Michelle Obama looks like a real nutrition and fitness expert. Let's put her in charge of deciding what our kids should eat. The DOG is in better shape than she is.

So does this guy

That's why he had to go on Dr. OZ's show to get his medical approval, and wouldn't release his real medical records-LOL

so, what's your point about the next generation?

Top 10 Fat States: Where Obesity Rates Are Highest

1. Mississippi: Once again, this is the fattest state. About 32.5 percent of its adult residents are obese, which means a body mass index (BMI) of more than 30. (That translates to more than 197 pounds on a 5'8" person.)

2. Alabama: It has an obesity rate of 31.2 percent, and an additional 35.3 percent of Alabamans are overweight (a BMI of between 25 and 29.9). Plus, it's among the top 10 most physically inactive states.

3. West Virginia: With an obesity rate of 31.1 percent, this state also has the highest percentage of adult diabetes in the nation, at 11.6 percent.

4. Tennessee: While residents are becoming more physically active, their stats still aren't great. The obesity rate is 30.2 percent, and an additional 36.7 percent are overweight.

5. South Carolina: With a 29.7 percent obesity rate and a 35.8 percent overweight rate, it's not surprising that South Carolina is also among the 10 states with the highest rates of adult diabetes and high blood pressure.

6. Oklahoma: Oklahoma's obesity rate jumped by 1.4 percentage points, to 29.5 percent. Not surprisingly, the prevalence of adult diabetes also rose significantly.

7. Kentucky: Kentucky is the second-least physically active state, which may partly explain why its obesity rate is 29 percent. An additional 38.4 percent of residents are overweight.

8. Louisiana: Its obesity rate is 28.9 percent, but that actually may be a tiny decline from last year. And it was one of four states to show a significant decrease in physical in activity.

9. Michigan: Its obesity rate rose more than a percentage point to 28.8 percent, while the prevalence of diabetes and physical inactivity also rose.

10. Arkansas and Ohio: Both states clocked in with a 28.6 percent obesity rate, though Arkansas has more overweight people. And Ohio has a lower prevalence of physical inactivity, at 25 percent to Arkansas's 28.8 percent

And they all voted for the FAT man.

Obama & Trump are the exact same height

So it's no wonder we're on a path to make kids FAT. FAT adults typically don't care that their kids are fat. This may be the first generation where parents will outlive their kids--because dumbass's never react to anything until it's too late.

Colorado is still the healtiest state in the nation--I live in Colorado. We also out exercise any state in the nation. Now would you fat ass's stop moving into this state? You won't be able to breath in this state, you're too dam fat.

For those of you that have a brain and are interested in learning more. The Learning Channel (TLC) has great shows on the skyrocketing obsesity problem in this country. Type 2 diabetes is the fastest growing disease in this country today, and is responsible for kidney failure, heart attacks and strokes--along with limb loss. Anyone that is 20 pounds overweight is considered Obese and is out of their BMI healthy range. But you only need to be a few pounds overweight to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. More & more children are being diagnosed with it today.

Pack your kids lunches--don't let them eat the shit at school.

An average 10 year old today is 10 to 15 pounds heavier than an average 10 year old that grew up in the 1950's. I grew up in the 50's and it was very rare to see someone that even looked to be overweight. Now it's everywhere.

[ChrisL]

Wow, those lunches look awful, even worse from when I was a kid. I thought the idea was to get fresh fruit and vegetables in there or something? Where are all the fruits and veggies?

Often the kids were forced to take a fruit (not necessary very fresh). Many if not most of the kids would simply throw the fruit away in a trashcan simply feet away from the end of the lunch line.

I would think the fruit would probably be the best thing on the tray! I've always liked fruit.

 

[keepitreal]

How ironic....
Oreo for your user name
and an overweight guy for your avatar!
ROFLMMFAO...FUCK OFF!

If Michelle wanted to focus on nutrition,
she should have advocated for no more junk with SNAP!

The government uses our tax dollars to pay for
cookies, candy, chips, soda, twinkies,
but, implements nutritional guidelines in schools,

where kids are 5 days a week, less then 8 hrs a day,
and, here in Chicago, there was no recess
until it was brought back in 2012...for 20 min a day

WTF...parents should be feeding their kids, not the schools!

 

[ChrisL]

I think they are fat because of fast food and lack of exercise. Some kids can barely walk home from school without huffing and puffing and getting all sweaty. Some of them are more out of shape than a middle aged person!

Oreo on another butt hurt rant. Very bitter person.

Stupid people always irritate the crap out of me. You should know that by now. If you don't know that we have got a skyrocking obesity problem in this country, and are not addressing it, why don't you just hand your kids/grandkids a pack of cigarettes and call it healthy, and or just ignore it.

That's how bad it is right now. A couple of "My 600 pound life" shows on TLC should cure you. There is such a thing as a food addiction in this country today. It starts with too many simple carbohydrates--that immediately boosts up the insulin in kids, leaving them hungry again 1/2 hour later, tired and weak. So they eat more, they gain weight, and once they start this process they can't stop--and it turns into Type 2 diabetes in their teenage years. Then it's too late to do anything about it. It's either a shot a day or dialisis every other day.

Michelle Obama was trying to address this train wreck by substituting simple carbs with complex carbs (whole wheat) into the fucking pizza they get every day. More fruits and vegi's are healthy, and there is no better place to educate kids on healthy eating habits than school.

You Reich wingers managed to fuck that up. It doesn't cost anymore to use whole grains than processed. This dumbass Republican Senator from Kansas--wants "tasty" in school which will include more sugar and fat--because (he didn't like the taste) of whole grain (and the school lunch program isn't making enough money.) So let's make them obese for profits. Or he wants to sell more Kansas processed shit. That's all this is about. It's not about the health of American kids in this country. That's the very least of his concerns.

Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee also attached several nutrition-related riders to this week’s appropriations bill, including one that targeted voluntary industry sodium-reductions.

“I feel that we have made such progress in schools meals over the past five years,” said Miriam Nelson, a public health researcher who helped advise Michelle Obama’s nutrition initiatives. “This progress has contributed to reversing the trend in childhood obesity rates nationwide . . . We want to continue the progress we have made.”

School lunches have seen a radical makeover in the past five years. Since 2012, when the nutrition rules mandated by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act went into effect, cafeterias have had to slash the amount of calories, trans-fats, sodium and refined grains in their foods, replacing cafeteria staples like conventional pizza with salt-reduced, whole-grain versions. They are also required to serve fruit, a variety of vegetables, and low-fat or fat-free milk.

Here is what the next generation of kindergardners will look like.

They're going to look like you?

I think you mean they would want to look like me.

I am very fortunate I have a full gym downstairs--and out of my back door are mountain hikes--and I don't eat pizza everyday--and cakes are for birthday parties, not school lunches.

Something I grew up knowing what a balanced diet was--and how to achieve it. These kids will never know it. They have way to many choices at school, and they will always pick the worst choice.

So you think those lunches are good??? That's not you in that cartoon either. Why not post a real picture if you look so good?

Do you think these kids are going to listen to the government or the school on what they should be eating? Who do you think is in the best position to make sure the kids are eating right?

I agree that if they have too many POOR choices, they will choose poorly, but they could do a lot better with those lunches. Good grief, those were very unappetizing and disgusting. Nobody would want to eat that slop except the dog.

They did a terrible job with this. Now some kids probably aren't eating lunch at all but just throwing it away. As usual, liberals have to deal with the unintended consequences of their actions.
