How can any rational person not step back and scratch their head? Michelle Obama is up against the House GOP who want to grant waivers to schools that show the new school food regulations are too expensive and onerous.  

“The last thing we can afford to do right now is play politics with our kids’ health,” Michelle Obama said Tuesday. “Now is not the time to roll back everything we have worked for.”  As it stands now, it isn’t likely that there will be any massive rollback in the new regulations.  

(from the curator) In our house, if our kids don’t eat their vegetables, whole grains, or better proteins – they don’t get an option, nor dessert, that reinforces bad habits.  Where we may differ, we focus on serving a variety of healthy, tasty and quality meals that appeal to us all. It’s more than possible, and there are many ways to learn how.  Instead of empowering bad behavior and entitlement by discussing how much good food is thrown in the trash everyday at schools because “kids don’t like eating veggies”, how about focusing on accountability and appreciation for what fuels our well-being. That goes equally for our kids and politicians alike.
