Mama Obama: Do as we say, not as we do

A federal overhaul of the nation’s school lunch menus came in response to statistics showing the lifelong health toll of childhood obesity.  First Momma Michelle Obama was moved to jump into action.

But students are not responding well, often throwing away their lunches. High school athletes, who can expend thousands of calories during sporting activities, are creatively complaining about not getting enough to eat each day, due to the skimpy new school lunch menu mandates imposed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Although costs have risen, schools are streamlining the menu selections keep students below controlled calorie counts — depending on their age. In protest of menu items such as hummus and black bean salads, tough sells in elementary cafeterias, students are opting to go hungry. Many of the lunches are ending up in the trash.

SouthCoastToday details the black-marketing of chocolate syrup squeezes some entrepreneurial students have been selling to flavor the no-fat milk.

Momma Obama might do well to confine her efforts to her own family.
