| More schools mull dropping Michelle O's lunch rules |
| 2014-09-26 |
| [EAGNEWS.ORG] GREEN LAKE, Wis. -- The Green Lake School District is the latest the join a number of schools reevaluating their participation in the National School Lunch Program. The Ripon Press reports the district is dissatisfied with the new school lunch and snack rules championed by First Lady Michelle Obama. "When I walk through the school cafeteria, I see multi-colored fruits and vegetables and whole-grain pasta or wraps on the trays of our students. The food looks really good, but the students aren't eating it," principal Mary Allen says, according to the paper. "... The limited salt, whole-grains, vegetable substitutes for meat, and unfamiliar foods such as 'quinoa' and 'jicama' are not being embraced. Although the food looks good and is undeniably healthy, it is unflavored and tasteless." |

| #11 May I suggest the "Bad Columbus! Bad!" salad, with a handful of cilantro, contraband hotsauce, and a furtive but unassertive skim en cardboard? Well, hallelu, all hail the jicama! It's every kid's favorite root newcomer: It's crunchy! It's bland! And it's much in demand For folks to whom paint drying's great drama. Kids, please eat your whatchamacallit! When stunned and prepared with a mallet, Its flavors can rage From gray over to beige On the milquetoast's adventurous palette. Ever wonder why Olmecs would worship What we know as the Mexican turnip? It resembled their heads, So they'd nibble some shreds And the rest, as a sacrifice, burn up. The canned water chestnut of limericks. |

| #10 that will generate some clean, dependable, natural gas. OMG! Moochelle's lunch menu is contributing to global warming. Oh, the huge manatees! As a side note, demand for quinoa by trendy food hipsters has driven up the price per kilo by roughly an order of magnitude since 1980, making what once was a staple food item in Andean countries too expensive for the poor. As for the salad pic, that would go nice with a big juicy cheeseburger. |

| #9 My kids schiol lunches never look like what besoeker posted Most lunches don't. Check an advertising pic of a Big Mac™ versus what the real thing looks like when you unwrap it. |

| #8 Looks like that will generate some clean, dependable, natural gas. There's the bell, back to class kiddies. |

| #6 That salad of Besoeker's sure looks good to me - lots better than any of the unhealty foods they offered (and I didn't eat) when I was in school. And I'm not even much into health foods... |

#3  Jicama, Black Bean and Quinoa Salad. Little wonder they won't eat it. |
