The children are in New York, and the tyrant is Michelle Obama.
New York’s Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake school district has become the latest casualty in first lady Michelle Obama’s preferred lunch plan, dropping the menu after too many students complained of hunger.
“[Food service manager Nicky] Boehm and her staff worked hard to implement the new regulations, but there were just too many problems and too many foods that students did not like and would not purchase,” said Assistant Superintendent Chris Abdoo about the National School Lunch Program in a statement reported by EAGNews.org. “Students complained of being hungry with these lunches and the district lost money…”
The district lost about $100,000 trying out the federal menu, which offered such meals as “part” of a chicken patty on a minicroissant, EAGNews.org reported…
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is in charge of managing the lunch program and estimates Mrs. Obama’s new wish list for student meals would cost about $3.2 billion to bring to fruition around the nation.
Wait. A government program limits people’s personal choices and it’s losing a lot of money? It’s a perfect Obama program! That’s how you know it’s working.
This insubordination cannot stand. Who are these recalcitrant children? Why aren’t the little brats being monitored and suitably punished for not eating what they’ve been commanded to eat? Why haven’t all of these students been suitably trained to inform on each other for questioning the will of their Dear Leader?
We need fewer kids like those and more kids like these:
That’s the way. Submit to your betters, you pathetic urchins.
In related news, yesterday President Barack Obama told a little kid that his favorite food is broccoli, because he’ll lie to anybody about anything.
