Wasted Food, Hungry Kids: Michelle Obama’s Bill in Action

[james&olya 1,121]

Today, 8-18 year-olds devote an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes (7:38) to using entertainment media across a typical day (more than 53 hours a week). http://www.kff.org/entmedia/entmedia012010nr.cfm....Its not the food people ...You have to get out and move.

Yes, it IS the food. AND the lack of exercise.

Agenda 21 google it. It's all part of the big Socialist elite Democrat/UN plan.

Regulate food, Take public land, Take your guns away, TSA,Homeland Security, Gov. buying huge quantities of killing type ammo. FEMA camps.

You do the math.

Michelle wants American kids to look just like their emaciated European counterparts.

Agenda 21 is a non-binding, voluntarily implemented action plan of the United Nations with regards to sustainable development.

If the "non-binding" part alone doesn't scare the hell out of you, then the "voluntary" part should be enough to push you over the edge.

I haven't encountered the effect of M. Obama's bill first hand as I don't have kids in school, but one thing has struck me in every article I have read so far. They all say that:

A) Children are hungry because they aren't getting enough to eat, and

B) food is being wasted because kids don't want to eat the fruit, veggies, or whatever other part of the meal is 'yucky.'

Let me know when the kids get hungry enough to eat the fruit. Until then, it's a lot of false rage about a lot of false hunger.

This is not to say I don't think there are real problems with the new program. But this recent rage smacks of a lot of spoiled kids who need to learn that they don't always get what they want (I know, bananas don't taste as good as chicken nuggets) and parents who don't think that it's their responsibility to properly nourish their own children. Feed your kids yourself and you won't have to worry about the school doing it wrong. I grew up taking sandwiches to school and it didn't kill me. Further, a person that habitually overeats will feel hungry when forced to eat only a healthy amount as the stomach needs to shrink back to a healthy size.
