Seven Wyoming School Districts Drop Michelle Obama’s Healthy Lunch Program
“We are starving. We are hungry. This isn’t enough food for us.”
For Christmas this year, seven Wyoming schools districts are giving their students a gift that will keep on giving.
Citing numerous student complaints, the schools are ditching Michelle Obama’s “Healthy Lunch” program.
After reviewing the complains, it would have been better named “No Lunch” program.
Several Wyoming schools have dropped the new federal rules pushed by First Lady Michelle Obama after saying they had an overwhelming negative reaction from students.
Wyoming Sheridan Country District One business manager Jeremy Smith said ‘there were just too many complaints’ for his district to stay in the National School Lunch Program.
‘Universally, it was, ‘We are starving. We are hungry. This isn’t enough food for us.’ But we couldn’t blame them, because I looked at that school lunch and said, ‘I wouldn’t eat it either,’ he told Wyoming Public Media.
Students have complained that the small portions are not enough for them to have a satisfying lunch.
…The Education Action Group reports that the Wyoming district had sales jump 20 per cent after abandoning the new rules.
