These Pictures Of School Lunches Will Show You Exactly Why Kids Are Fed Up With Michelle Obama’s Diet

I worked in the cafeteria for a HS Class. This food would have never sold then, and I don't blame the kids for not wanting it now!

Michelle Obama’s campaign against obesity, and for healthy eating is a noble one. However, America’s public school students would beg to differ.
In March of this year, the General Accounting Office (GAO) reported that 1.6 million students across America have dropped out school lunch programssince the Michelle Obama-approved Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act required schools to dramatically change what they can eat at lunch.
Now, students are posting images of the “healthy, hunger-free” lunches on Twitter and Instagram. Let’s assume they passed on carrot sticks, salad and steamed vegetables as they made their choices.
Here’s an image and message from Brady.

Tanner posted this picture of something in a hot dog bun, with a side ofthree cherry tomatoes.

Tyler added an image of whatever this is:

And then there was this feast, posted by Megan’s mom while she was eating lunch with her daughter. (Is that half a kiwi?)

Perhaps the forlorn Bryton summed it up best:

Again, it’s a worthy cause; obesity in America is a problem. Besides, who can argue with the multiple benefits of a healthier diet? But, really? If these images are representative of today’s public school lunch offerings, I’d bring my lunch to school every day of the week. Wouldn’t you?
