How is it that some parents and children understand the importance of eating healthy without being controlled by a nanny government? That is what I find amazing. How some families figured it out and taught their children good habits from the start.
There are children and teens who care enough about their health that they reject junk food and only eat it occasionally.
Of course, for the children whose parents are clueless and gave them sweets and junk without making them eat their vegetables first, you're not going to change them by offering up a boring meal. They'll eat twice as much crap when they get home. That means that nanny government cannot stop at schools and must start dictating to people what they can put in their pantries.
My kids had to eat healthy as children because their mean mom didn't allow junk. They got the occasional treat, but always ate their balanced meals. As teens, they were in sports and refused to touch soda or junk because they paid for it during practice. That was just how they were, thanks to a strict mom when it came to diet.
So, Michelle plans to undo years of bad parenting by offering up slim pickings in the lunch room. Nice try, but when you only address the symptoms instead of the real problem, you won't get far.
Maybe we should be more proactive and apply Michelle's food standards to those using EBT cards. How about making it illegal to buy anything other than healthy food and necessities? That would help a huge percent of the children. That way, a large number of parents couldn't buy junk food for their children to eat at home and pack in school lunches.
Come on, cover all bases here or don't bother. I'm sure discussions are underway as to how to get into our homes and impose rules. What are you waiting for, liberals? Some of you are worried sick about a country of idiots sitting with a blank look on their face and drooling on themselves, unsure how to live their lives without experts leading the way.
