The Food We Eat

                                                Michelle Obama Campaigns for Obese Kids

This image is somewhat dated. We have gotten our cookies back! And school pizza has always sucked. However, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CAKE? Well, technically it's "banned". Yet, I haven't seen a food jail to be thrown into, so I think it's still alright.  Naturally, after the reformation of the entire school lunch menu, there would be a difference.

For those unaware of the changes, I will try to list them to the best of the memory.

• All the school portions have gone down. Not just by a bit either: the pretzels are about 1/3 size.
• I'm not sure how to describe the new meat, but it's sketchy. At least, more so than usual.
• All the chips are baked or reduced fat.
• Pop tarts and rice krispies are now whole grain (don't try the rice krispies).
•  All drinks are not energy drinks, vitamin drinks or diet. Plus all variations of water.
• Mandatory fruit or vegetable per meal (largely ignored).

As seen in the picture, the reaction was explosive. The animosity towards Mrs. Obama was palpable. 

Incoming 6th graders will never again experience the full glory of the snack bar. Incoming freshmen will never again experience snackhalla.

Michelle campaigned to help the children, but her help caused great suffering. Hopefully, the land of great munchies will return.
