Michelle Obama Lunch Rules Ban Fried Foods, Frosted Flakes in Daycare

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I grew up eating Frosted Flakes and drinking Cherry Kool Aid made with real sugar and so did most of the kids I grew up with

None of us are obese.

Kids are fat pigs these days because riding a bike and playing outdoors has been replaced with video games and computers.

And parents who give their kids junk food rather than nutritious meals.

I call those kids "waddlers".

If those kids were getting any exercise they'd burn off those calories.

So you want the government to mandate exercise for fat kids?


Actually ClosedCaption aske me what my solution is, it's simple, the higher your body fat percentage, the more you pay for unhealthy food. Let some 500 lb dude pay $135 for a Big Mac, he'll lose the weight.

Don't all schools have mandatory PE?

We do for Freshman only.

Ah pulling out the "Hitler" card.

Yes- the feeding kids healthy food- that is just what Hitler would do!

Why exactly do Conservatives want to feed kids less healthy food?

It's none of your damn business WHAT anybody feeds their kids. Butt out.

Fat ass Michelle Obama is NOT a nutrition expert and has no business telling anyone what to feed their kids.

It doesn't take a nutritional expert to know that those fat Southern children do not need to be eating any more fried Twinkies. lol

And it doesn't take a nutritional expert to know that fat ass Michelle has no business telling ANYBODY what to eat.

Michelle Obama Lunch Rules Ban Fried Foods, Frosted Flakes in Daycare
Final regulation only allows daycare centers to serve juice once a day

New rules stemming from the school lunch law championed by first lady Michelle Obama are banning popular children’s cereals like Frosted Flakes in daycare centers.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service issued a final rule Monday that will affect more than 3 million kids in daycare centers across the country. The regulation will only allow daycare centers to serve juice once a day, will ban fried foods, and encourages centers to not add honey to a child’s yogurt.

The regulation is a result of the 2010 law aimed at school lunches, a top priority of Mrs. Obama’s Let’s Move anti-obesity initiative. The government hopes ( hummm. the Government hopes) the new rule will “help children build healthy habits.”

“This final rule updates the meal pattern requirements for the Child and Adult Care Food Program to better align them with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, as required by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010,” the final rule states. “This rule requires centers and day care homes participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program to serve more whole grains and a greater variety of vegetables and fruit, and reduces the amount of added sugars and solid fats in meals.”

The law required the USDA to “promote health and wellness in child care settings via guidance and technical assistance that focuses on nutrition, physical activity, and limiting electronic media use,” according to the regulation.

Got to love it when people start demanding their kids eat unhealthy food.

Study: Cost of U.S. Regulations Larger Than Germany’s Economy
Regs have cost economy $4 trillion, $13,000 per person

The cost of U.S. regulations is now larger than Germany’s economy, amounting to a $4 trillion loss to the American economy, according to a new study by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.

The study, released Tuesday, found that regulations over the past several decades amount to a loss of $13,000 for each American worker.

“The impact of regulation on economic growth has been widely studied, but most research has focused on a narrow set of regulations, industries, or both,” according to the report. “These studies typically rely on regulatory indexes that measure subsets of all regulation, on country-to-country comparisons, on short time spans, or on surveys in which experts report how regulated they believe their country or industry is.

“In order to better understand the cumulative cost of regulation, a comprehensive look at all regulations across many industries over a long period of time is imperative.”

Researchers at Mercatus studied data from 22 industries from 1977 to 2012, finding regulations have distorted “investments choices that lead to innovation” and have “created a considerable drag on the economy.” The result: an average shrinking of the economy by 0.8 percent a year.

“If regulations had been held constant at levels observed in 1980, the American economy would have been 25 percent larger than it was in 2012,” the report said. “This amounts to a $4 trillion loss in 2012 for the American economy or $13,000 loss per person, a significant amount of money for most American workers.”

The cost of federal regulations amounts to the fourth-largest GDP in the world, surpassing the economies of Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Italy, Russia, and India.

It's amazing what people will have a problem with money being spent, and then they'll not have a problem with other money going on massive corruption, like in say, the Healthcare industry.

I personally think it's the parents job to know what their kids are eating at daycare, the gov doesn't need to be a part of this process at all. I could give a little, if it is indeed /just/ for the gov paid for food - beggars can't be choosers... (or well that was the case when I was growing up.) So long as they're not telling the day care they can /never/ serve fried food, w/e. Though I still find it a bit pathetic that our gov. feels the need to micromanage this deeply into what /should/ be a private matter between a parent and their chosen daycare facility. Have parents actually become so useless to their kids?

I don't buy sugary cereals for my kids...chips, maybe two bags a month...I don't fry foods either, in my family there is a thing called high cholesterol...which leads to massive heart attacks, strokes and triple heart bypass surgeries....

LOL- funny since this entire thread is a Conservative whine fest about what kids are being fed- by people other than their parents.

So- why exactly do Conservatives want to feed kids less healthy food- that is paid for by tax payers?

I sent my child to a daycare center that received no government support- no tax dollars subsidizing meals. Guess what- government didn't tell them how to feed the kids.

But if tax payers are subsidizing meals fed to kids at daycare facilities- why shouldn't we insist on healthier food being fed for our tax dollars?

 

[EverCurious]

Because it's none of the governments business really, its dipping too far into "private" issues.

IIRC we heard nearly the same argument that's being made in this thread from dem's back when the reps wanted certain items to not be purchasable with welfare did we not?

I'm not sure what steak has to do with it? (Do you mean the 'no more lobster and steak in jail' thing? Or did I miss something?)


How about the commentary from this last year (specifically the second paragraph there) - Wisconsin Republicans Don’t Want Food Stamp Recipients Buying Beans, Potatoes, Pasta Sauce

"To demonstrate the perils of food policing at Thursday’s hearing, a Democrat on the committee held up a plate of four different kinds of cheese. Although they are nutritionally indistinguishable, three of the four cheeses would be prohibited. “When you look at something like this cheese plate, there’s no evidence of sharp cheddar fraud. People are not buying sharp cheddar in order to defraud FoodShare, and there’s no nutritional difference. So if those are the stated goals, the bill is not accomplishing either,” Rep. Mark Spreitzer said.

Brooks’ bill is just the latest example of conservatives around the country being loudly concerned about the scourge of poor people making their own decisions. Kansas Republicans recently got a radical, unprecedented list of activities and purchases banned for SNAP and welfare recipients. The Maine GOP is working toward its own version of a “junk food ban,” while a Missouri version of the shellfish idea appears to be going nowhere in the statehouse."

Why is it okay for the gov. to meddle with daycare food policing, but not welfare food policing? Does The First Ladies bill ban /all/ sugar, and /all/ trans fat (that's what's in fried food yea?), or just these specific ones? If it doesn't ban /all/ of the "bad nutrition stuff" then it's not a good bill according to the above right? (And I do apologize for my lack of food health knowledge, I have super high metabolism and can eat anything and everything I want so I know next to nothing about healthy food.)
