Bad Birthday… Michelle Obama’s School Lunch Nutrition Rules Are Trashed

Friday, January 17th, 2020, was a rough birthday of former First Lady Michelle Obama. It was the day that her big 2010 initiative, Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act was chipped away.

Remember, she wanted kids to eat healthier at school? They may not be eating as healthy as she had wished, now. The weekly requirements have been reduced for serving orange and red vegetables such as carrots, tomatoes and butternut squash. Those veggies can now be replaced with potato products like fries.

School breakfasts, served in classrooms, won’t be required to have as much fruit, anymore… which may be replaced by less nutritious baked goods or granola bars. Nutrition advocates attack the proposal, as undercutting the nutrition requirements in the 2010 Act.
