Geez, You bitch that the meals they get are bad, then you bitch when Michell Obama suggests that Schools serve something healthy. Not every kid has a good home where mommy packs a nutritious meal for them. We get that you'd rather they just go hungry.
No, I didn't bitch. MO suggesting that the improve the quality of the school food is fine; setting legislation/forcing? No. She's suggesting drinking more water in place of soda, that's fine. When she starts forcing it 'for the children's sake'? Nope.
Once again, just because every kid does not have a good home where mommys pack a nutritious meal for them does not mean that it then becomes the government's job to do so.
Michelle Obama doesn't have the power to force anybody to do anything. She is making suggestions. She is using her position as FLOTUS to use the bully pulpit to improve nutrition in schools. If for whatever reason you are opposed to this, write your school board, city council, mayor, state reps, governor, etc, and demand that schools don't kowtow to her (IMHO reasonable, commonsense) suggestions.
Read stephanie's post ... MO did more than just "suggest".
