I just read that one school district is opting out of federal school lunch program. Money that could pay for textbooks and technology must be redirected to pay for green beans and whole-grain hot dog buns.
It simply wasn't economically feasible anymore, said Kirchner. "The program is heading in the wrong direction," he said.
So his school board opted out. It will still offer lunch – a healthful lunch, he said – at the same prices.
Children who get free or reduced-price lunches – about 17 percent of the student body – will still get them at that price.
Only now, the school district will absorb the cost – more than $260,000 a year – rather than use federal funding to cover it.
Schools throughout the nation are grappling with the same decision.
Nationwide, 1 million fewer students are choosing a school lunch each day, according to the National School Nutrition Association. http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/education/2014/08/09/district-drops-federal-lunch-program/13847169/Is there any similar movement with school lunches in the public schools around town? Any new complaints say, within the past 2-3 years or so?

When I was in high school, there was almost a restaurant style lunch service. They had the everyday standards (burgers/pizza/fries/salad), then the "daily specials" which was 2-3 entree options. This, on top of a snack bar.

The 2,800-student district joins a small but growing number of school districts across the country – mostly wealthy districts who can afford to forfeit the money – who have dropped out of the federal program in the wake of stricter nutritional standards.
Schools said students don't like the unsalted potatoes, low-fat cheese or the mandatory fruits and vegetables. They throw food away or decide not to eat at all.
Translation: Stuck up brats who want McDonalds and Chipotle refuse to eat healthy food and the school would rather cater to the kids even if it means less money.

That school lunch thing is supposed to avoid starving kids- then on the other hand I read about all the kids who are overweight and how weight problems are a serious issue for children. Which is it are children going hungry or are they over weight and obese? I'm not sure if a school can opt out of a federal program if they do they may lose federal money too.

Michelle Obama is into telling others what to eat while she herself scarfs down burgers and fires and Obama smokes. With the Obamas it's do as I say & not as I do. Michelle Obama eats greasy foods while she tells everyone else to eat spinach & broccoli. Michelle should at least practice what she preachs, if she did she would not be gaining all that weight.

Have you had dinner with the Obamas? Sounds like you have intimate knowledge of their habits these days.

Pictures can't always be believed today they can be changed and altered or photoshopped. It won't take much to shed a few pound off of Michelle's Obamas picture. From what I seen Michelle Obama is a bit on the heavy side and that's Not from a diet of greens & veggies, more like a diet of fries, burgers and fat foods.

You are a nonsensical pig. Post a picture of yourself so we can criticize you. If not, shut up. Here is a picture of her dunking a basketball. She looks fine to me. http://twitpic.com/dsy47x
