Michelle Obama controls your child's school lunch. Right down to the number of grapes in the mandatory ½ cup of fruit. In case you hadn't heard, her federal school lunch standards take effect in September.
Beginning in September, the new lunch standards, introduced in January by First Lady Michelle Obama under the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act, will be implemented. The standards were created to help fight childhood obesity throughout the nation.
This involves the inclusion of fruits, vegetables, whole grain-rich foods, low-calorie foods and foods with reduced amounts of saturated and trans-fats and sodium in students' diets.
Specifically, 50 percent of grains served beginning July 1, 2012, must be whole grain-rich, with the percentage planned to increase to 100 percent within two years. A minimum of 1/2 cup of fruits and vegetables must be taken by students daily and over the next 10 years, total sodium should be reduced by 50 percent in school meals.
Freedom? Liberty? Choice? Not in Obamaville. Big Brother says, all your children are belong to us. Kids will eat what Michelle Obama tells them to eat, and they'll like it.
Face it, the public schools exist to indoctrinate our children into the cult of government. Only our benevolent betters in Washington (and Trenton and Albany and …) know what is best for us. We cannot possibly decide on our own. Listen to the authority of Michelle Obama and Mike Bloomberg. They Know Things!
Independent thought is considered seditious and must be stamped out. Good little automatons will eat their 1/2 cup of fruit with gusto, because to disobey is inconceivable. Parents welcome the nanny state, it absolves them of responsibility. "Eat your vegetables or I'll tell Michelle Obama" is the 21st century replacement for "wait until your father gets home." If there even is a father.
I find it ludicrous that we would cede control of our children to a bureaucratic cabal. Yet day after day they go off willingly to join the Borg. Resistance is futile, we will be assimilated.
