Earlier this month,
Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue signed a proclamation that began dismantling
the federal
school lunch guidelines that was the pet project of Michelle Obama. And now, from her moral high ground, the
former First Lady is taking the Trump Administration to task.
According to the US
Department of Agriculture website “schools have been facing increasing fiscal
burdens as they attempt to adhere to existing, stringent nutrition
requirements.” The USDA figures show school
food requirements cost school districts and states an additional $1.22 billion
with a B in 2015.
While costs have gone
up, student participation has plummeted as about 1 million students tossed the revolting
slop in the garbage can. Schools are
left with decreased revenues and increased costs.
Mrs. O is some more pissed
off at the Trump Administration and she popped off during the hour-long
annual conference sponsored by the Partnership for a Healthier America. She was joined onstage by the Obama’s
personal chef. Oh, the irony.
"You have to
stop and think, why don't you want our kids to have good food at school? What
is wrong with you and why is that a partisan issue?" Mrs. Obama said.
"Why would that be political?"
"Moms, think
about this. I don't care what state you live in, take me out of the equation,
like me, don't like me, but think about why someone is OK with your kids eating
crap," she said.

The First Sow and The
World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer dined on opulent meals. Their state dinners often
cost $4700 per attendee. The White
House chefs prepared menu items such as
Sweet Potato Agnolotti with Butter and Sage, Warm Butternut Squash Salad
with Frisée and Pecorino di New York, Beef Braciola Pinwheel with Horseradish
Gremolata and Broccoli Rapini, Green Apple Crostata with Thyme Caramel and
Buttermilk Gelato and dessert was an array of petit fours: Sweet Corn Cream and Blackberry Cup, Concord
Grape Bittersweet Chocolate Leaf, Orange Fig Slice, Pumpkins Cranberry Tart and
Tiramisu.
It’s no wonder The
First Sow’s lardass is as big as the side of a house.
The Obama’s lived
high on the hog. Three years ago CBS
News obtained the Office of Protocol’s expense
calculations for the first five state dinners of the Obama presidency. It was an
unprecedented $1,966,933.71 or just under half a million dollars each.
Requests for
information about state dinners after 2012 made by Rep. Darrell Issa were
completely ignored.
Marie Antoinette,
call your office.
