And it costs $3. What ever happened to sack lunches?

This what happens when bureaucrats make our decisions for us.

      You're more than right from what I saw on that school tray. I should know.
      I've seen far more tastier and filling trays at the state prison where I used to work as an officer for 21 years.
      I used to be able to buy a tray at the start. That all stopped when the HIV scare came along.
      Warning future crooks: No steak and baked potatoes. The chicken is never fried. Ice cream served only on July 4th.

    This is what you get in any government institution.

    Some say it's what you risk in any institutionalized school.

    Now I happen to approve of the emphasis on cruciate vegetables--cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots. But you still need bigger portions than that. And more protein.

    You folks are just touching the tip of the iceberg.
    The Federal Government, through the Commerce Clause, started offering free and low cost food programs to districts (State choice on all things educational - as the Fed's powers are delineated in the Constitution and they have NO powers beyond that (theoretically)

    More and more districts have said yes.
    When you don't do what the Feds want now, they threaten your food program which now all parents expect.

    You've been hooked and reeled in, folks. Warned you back then - too late now short of cutting them off completely and saying, "NO - stay OUT of our schools!"

    You can still do it, one district at a time.

    seems to me the "government" under 0 is letting people in from south America with diseases, that we are getting; criminals who are killing us; and ebola to kill us; so why not start to get rid of some of the population before they get to old. since when does the female with the tag line 1st lady get to enforce rules on the population? we have firsts in the white house.

    And take a look at all the trash that is generated as a result of this lunch - the costs of manufacturing the materials, disposal, Styrofoam. Liberals are frauds. They operate with the mind of a three-year-old. Their methods must be exposed, they must be embarrassed, they must be stopped.

      In all the schools where I live, peanut butter (and any kind of "nut" derivative) is banned from being allowed on school property, due to kids with nut allergies. Even healthy, wholesome almonds are banned--and they are not even nuts; they are seeds.

        OK, so a condition that affects all of 1.3% of the population stops everyone, 98.7%, from eating nuts and Peanut Butter. Bureaucrat nonsense!!

          I'm with you, Zen. What happened to personal responsibility. What happened to not letting lawyers sue the hell out every deep pocket.

          I hear people saying they can react to peanuts "in-the-air": the guy next to you in the plane; the hawker at the ball-park.

          Whatever!
          If you're that sick you need to stay in your bubble.

          I'll believe it when I see them pass a double-blind test.

          Seems there was a day when people who had allergies just declined the food they couldn't eat - not force the rest of us to abandon it as well.

            I so totally sympathize with this sentiment! It`s not fair that the majority of healthy people are forced to pander to a minority of defectives, at the cost to their own healthy diet, especially!

            I rarely fly, but just about every flight I've taken in the past year or two had peanuts available without any caveats as the standard snack.

            Maybe somebody wised up?
            Just an observation... oh, and while I can't bring a bottle of water from home onto the plane, I can buy bags of peanuts and peanut-M&Ms in just about any airport's concession stands and take THEM on board.

            Funny TSA and bureaucracy... eh?

        Ok I can understand that but there must be better alternatives than what is being served. I am well into my sixties and have been doing PB & J all of my life several times a week. Love the stuff! I couldn't help notice that the meat and cheese are processed ...............ummm Yum.

    What can we really expect from a government indoctrination center. We feed our kids every day, and dont need some washed up backup singer from Motown telling us what our kids should eat.

    If this is served every other week, what sort of crapola is served on other days?

      The linked menu interested me... is that the Standard for ALL grades in their public schools? From K through 12? Is that Moochelle's idea of 'appropriate nutrition' for kids in THAT age range?!

      How stupid can she be? Oh, sorry... answer is self-evident.

    when I went to grade school, we had a kitchen and two cooks. On Monday we had hamburgers, Tuesday was Spaghetti or Marzetti, Wednesday was Pizza (made from left over buns and meat sauce), Thursday was Chef's choice, and Friday always had some kind of fish. All of it was prepared on sight, all fresh, all good food. Cost? 25 cents, then 35 cents in middle school. I can't see how it is more cost affective to operate a giant meals on wheels program for school lunches. Compare the meal in the illustration to Homemade Spaghetti, Fresh garden salad, a slice of fresh baked cornbread, Vitamin D milk, a small pudding for desert, metal table ware, china plates. All of it in house and under the control of the School Board.

    What we have to day is PC, and that's about all.

      I agree Ron. When I was in school, I could not wait for Pizza burger day!!! The problem with obesity cannot be controlled through school lunches. When I was in school, we played outside 98% of the time whether it was just screwing around in the yard or riding our bikes. The source of obesity among todays kids is that they never go outside. I relate it to the electronic age!!!

        My daughter graduated high school in 1994. Long before Michelle, they had moved to meals on wheels as a savings plan. 1st, factory food sucks. That's why people prefer real home cooked food. 2nd, all the food has a base cost. How could it be cheaper to prepare it off site and transport it to the school, then transport dirties back to factory. Maybe, non union labor saves them money, but there is no law requiring them to hire union kitchen workers anyway.

    School lunches have come full circle. When I was a kid, a mushy concoction of mac and cheese with the cheese being almost as thin as water, and a half pint of white milk was a typical school lunch You paid for it. It cost 25 cents. (Which is why I brought my greasy aromatic salami on rye sandwiches in a even greasier brown paper bag.) My kids had it much better. School lunches started looking like real food, and there was even some moderate cafeteria style choices. Grandchildren, better still. Several choices, all looking tasty and edible. Then...along came Michelle. Does Toynbee's theory of cyclical history apply to school lunches?

    Bring a lunch or have one of the local eateries do the catering instead of municipal bureaucrats.

      Unfortunately CT, schools are even throwing away the lunches you send in with your kids because they don't fit the guidelines. Then the kids are forced to get a lunch that they throw away and go hungry. The present system sucks!!!!
