"So what's the verdict on Michelle Obama's "nasty, rotty" school lunch program, supposedly loaded with green vegetables that somehow went onto the trays gray?
We already know the kids couldn't stand it.
Remember this?
President Trump has decided to at least partially scrap it.
According to The Hill:
Under the new rules, schools would be allowed to reduce the number of fruits and vegetables required at each meal. The latest change follows a 2019 rollback of restrictions on milk and sodium content in school lunches.Critics said the change will pave the way for greasier, more unhealthy foods such as pizza, french fries and burgers.
Feel the hysteria.
The media is tut-tutting the move, but the Department of Agriculture has decided to allow local school districts to make their own decisions about what local kids can eat, ending the rigid rules that led to the "nasty, rotty" food debacle that was so bad kids rebelled by setting up black markets for "Flamin' Hot Cheeto Fries," discarding the supposedly healthier food into the trash.
...The Trump administration explicitly noted the problem of food waste and it all makes sense.
Gavin Newsom, however, has his own idea: More Of It, as if the big-scale veggie scheme had never been tried before:
In an effort to provide California students with healthier, more sustainable food options, Gov. Gavin Newsom introduced a proposal of $70 million for fresher, more nutritious school meals in his 2020-21 preliminary budget Friday morning....
More money at an already failed idea is a red flag.
Three things are going on here, and Newsom is only addressing one of them..."
Fabulous column, Must Read it all!
