I was interested to read about the failure of the “Obama school menu” (Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act or HHFK), in the Washington Times this morning. Moreover, I wondered how the “Socialistas” are dealing with the fact the Feds have once again been “schooled” in the minutia of government overreach.
Now you know I see only hypocrisy in any “Michelle Obama Diet plan”. It pretty much falls into the Liberal “do as I say not as I do” column. That said, it appears not only is the program costing local government big money because of federal underfunding and guideline nightmares, but another strange phenomenon is occurring as well. So disgusted with the food are parents and children alike, that they are actually opting out and preparing their children’s lunches for school. Go figure…
Oh it’s another sad day in America when yet another attempt at “government knows better” goes belly up and we are left with the bill. You know, I get a lot of email from brainiacs who think they have all the answers to questions they essentially make up themselves. I say this stuff is pretty simple. Government should not be in the business of subbing in for parents. If the Obama’s want to help hungry children, they ought to quit living like King Louis and Marie Antoinette, park AF-1 for a month, and maybe kick a little back to “We the People” now and then…
