What would Liberals eat?

[R.D.]

Meh, I don't have a problem with restricted choices when taxpayer money is used to pay for it, personally. It works well for WIC. Should work fine for public school lunches and snap. One is always free to spend their own money for junk food. When my budget is tight, junk food is the first to go, then eating out. Why should I pay for someone else's donuts when I can't afford any for my own family?

But those who can afford and with to allow their kids a treat now cant
either

They can send lunch and a snickers with their child. IMO, that should ALWAYS be allowed.

Of course they can.

Bingo.

Why on earth should the feds be micromanaging school lunches?

Because they are paying for them.

On a side note, I committed an act of civil disobedience on Saturday. I bought lemonade from a neighborhood kid who was selling it without a Vendor Permit and Health Department Certificate.

I did that too a while back,

Dumped the lemonade out, but supported the entrepreneurs.

My kids go to school with bologna sammiches on white bread, chips, pudding, and an apple.

Every day.

Occasionally I send yogurt, or pb&j.

then you're not too sharp in terms of nutrition, if that's the goal with those meals.

Change the white bread to whole grain and she would be doing well.

Protein, carb, dairy, fruit.

What exactly is wrong with it?

When I was a kid, my sibs and I typically brought our own lunches: PB&J on whole wheat, chips, carrot sticks or an apple, with a homemade cookie for dessert, and we bought milk at school.

We also rode our bikes to school and got a lot of exercise...something else that's absent from the lifestyles of many kids these days.

If the Federal government didn't provide them 24/7/365 minute by minute instructions, what would Liberals eat? House plants? Dirt? Paint chips? paper clips? I mean are they really that helpless that they need Michelle Obama to tell them EVERYTHING?

"The federal snack rules take effect this year for school districts across the country that participate in the federal free and reduced lunch program. They restrict snack foods sold at schools to those with at least 50 percent whole grain, with low sugar, fat and sodium content. Each snack must also come in under 200 calories, according to the news site.

That means a lot of popular snacks are now off the table, including donuts, brownies, potato chips, full flavor pop, candy bars, and most other foods teenagers prefer. Even salt shakers and packets are now illegal."

amazes me that anybody has a problem with public schools feeding kids healthier foods. But there it is.

I amazes me that libs continue to miss the point,.
We dont need Washington bureaurcrats telling us what to eat. We just dont. Making some snacks illegal is simply more nanny state nonsense.

Sure thing...

The link between sodium nitrites and cancer CTCA

Although there is a correlation, the FDA has not ruled processed meats as too dangerous to consume. What can be agreed upon is it is best to limit consumption. The World Cancer Research Fund recommends eating no more than about 16 ounces of cooked red and/or processed meat per week. For reference, about 3 ounces of cooked meat is roughly the size of a deck of cards.

If you're asking from an honest place, where should we begin? I mean,

 

[SmarterThanTheAverageBear]

How about we do school lunches like way back in the day my drill instructors did lunch?

"Alright you little fucks, you want to eat? Give me 10 pullups then you can go in and eat whatever you can fit down your gullet in the next 30 minutes"

Couldn't do 10 pullups? You got a sandwich and water

I don't recall anyone eating sandwiches and water after the first week.

I would probably omit the word fucks

All I'm having for lunch today are Sweet 100s Cherry Tomatoes. Our cherry tomato plant had a fruiting spurt and we have a ton of tomatoes. That is all I'm going to eat. So there.

Sell it to Middle East, Africa, China, why are you feeding that crap to your own kids???

Ah, of course, for doritos, it don't matter...

But for you people? Are you crazy? Letting these people simply rape your kids brains?

Pathetic, simply pathetic, shame on you for fear mongering: "if we save our kids their rape, we will be socialists, let them rape..."

Its about choice being denied

Bingo.

Uhhh... "because they're buying" might be a good start...

No they're not. WE'RE paying for it. The Feds just take our money and give it to other people.

Addressed in 128. Once again, if my tax dollars are used for some public benefit I want it used judiciously, not just thrown to the wind.

and even at that, I don't think two slices of white bread about 260 times a year is going to harm anyone given an otherwise sensible diet

Think again. I dropped 40 pounds, literally, by doing nothing more than cutting out bread. Nothing more.

Well, that is a matter of opinion. What you think of as judicious might not agree with someone else's opinion. Why should your opinion of what someone should eat outweigh another's?

I prefer to not live in a busy body society.

Tax payer money versus personal preference, is where you're being daft (not saying that disparagingly) .

Yeah. Paying teenage girls to have children out of wedlock is working out really well...

Huh, whaaa? How did you get that out of the above childhood obesity stats?

Easy Peasy. Parenting matters. Children raised by single moms are more likely to be obese...just one area in which such children are disadvantaged.

-- if so, that points to a lack of control/discretion in those problematic diets -- which is exactly what the OP is whining about. And you just noted the difference in exercise/activity between now and when we came up.

You're making an excellent case against where you started here. Please go on.
