Indiana school district loses $300K because students refuse to buy first lady's healthy meals
[WASHINGTONTIMES] School officials in Carmel Clay, Ind., said they lost $300,000 last school year because students are rejecting the healthy menu changes brought on by First Lady Michelle Obama's federal lunch regulations. "I've had a lot of complaints, especially with the little guys," Linda Wireman, a food service director for North White School Corp., told JCOnline. "They get a three-quarters cup of vegetables, but if it's something they don't like, it goes down the garbage disposal. So there are a lot of complaints they're going home hungry."When I was a child, by Gum, we ate meat loaf and liked it. If you didn't like meat loaf you went hungry. Except for Fridays, when we got fish sticks. The schools also bought their own meat loaf and fish sticks, without the feds dictating what they should buy and recirculating tax dollars with a 40 percent rakeoff to support the Department of Education. And we had prayer in the schools. I'd have never passed seventh grade math without school prayer. Posted by: Fred 2013-07-12 |
