The USDA is in charge of food stamps, not HHS.

The typical MAGA is chock full of notions about what needs to be changed yet they don't even understand what they are talking about.

They don't, but you do, right?

When Michelle Obama wanted to make lunches and food healthier for Americans, the right loss, their ever-loving mind calling her a communist and wanting to take away their choice.... I believe they said the obamas were trying to make a big brother state where everyone had to eat like them

RFKjr taking away crappy food is not going to go so well.

Vaccines have eliminated and vastly reduced the incidence of a number of serious infectious diseases. before the vaccine was developed in the 60s, one hundred percent of the population got measles. Most recover but there are deaths and very very serious outcomes for a percentage of those infected.

They don’t even think about all this. 100 years ago we had a bunch of “schools for the blind” and “schools for the deaf,” why? Because childhood illnesses - measles especially - left a small proportion of children permanently disabled. Measles also had a death rate of around .1%.

One hundred years ago? The infectious disease scourge is way more recent then that. Every boomer and most Gen X know people that were permanently paralyzed in some part of their body from Polio. I knew a half a dozen polio victims with permanent paralysis.

No need to carp here - both of you are on the same track. I'm in the "know a half a dozen polio victims...." while my kids do not know any. In fact, when they - mid teens - asked me to compare COVID to something in my childhood, I shared stories my parents relayed to me of not being allowed to go out when there would be polio outbreaks around them. The relief my parents felt about vaccines was so palpable to me, even as a young child.

I don't see any other way. Tough love I guess. - np

Wild how the Republicans have done a total 180 degrees from cursing Michelle Obama out for trying to get kids eating healthier and Sarah Palin defiantly holding up a 64oz Big Gulp declaring dems will have to take her soda from her cold dead hands.

Republicans don't actually stand for anything anymore. It's all just knee jerk reactionary bullshit and whatever the Orange Guy says on a particular day when the wind is blowing a particular direciton is now their gospel and they have zero memory or perspective on what it was they believed in the day before.

There’s a difference between not allowing someone to purchase something with money they earned and not allowing someone to purchase something with OUR money.

Why should we spend taxpayer money on soda to make people obese and give them diabetes? And then we need to pay again for their expensive medical care for those conditions. It’s insane.

So why the umbrage about kids' lunches under the Obama admin?

The replacements were things like whole wheat pizza. MAHA is proposing that all that junk be eliminated. Kids should be eating things like salad, veg, whole grains, fresh fruit and fresh meat for lunch. Nothing processed should be allowed in schools. No goldfish. No cookies. No juice. No chocolate milk. No waffles and syrup. No tater tots. No chicken nuggets. All that garbage is out.

Nope, you're wrong. RFKJ says all grains are bad for children.

"Kids shouldn't be eating grains. They should definitely not be eating seed oils. And they for sure should not be eating sugar. And yet that is what we're forcing them to eat," he said on Sept. 26.

You don't even know what you're promoting. Not really surprising.

The "rich libs" already eat healthy. The high rates of morbid obesity are in the red states. But to you, cartoon > actual data

+1 people can eat heathy today if they want but they love their processed food too much.

Now it's all "Your body, our choice," and we're supposed to cheer about it.

LOOOOOOL forever @ the thought of a R administration giving more money to schools for healthier school lunches. When pigs fly!

Right. Not that children should be fed whatever is cheapest, but in many schools around the country, the meals are made off site. Now we are supposed to avoid all grains (even whole grain pasta, bread, rice, etc.) and just feed children fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, fresh meat, and raw milk. Where does the money for sourcing, quality control, and distribution infrastructure of non-frozen and non-prepped foods come from?

How much should I be preparing for my taxes to go up? Just checking.

I also want to know what we're supposed to do when children throw their new RFKJ meals in the trash. DO we just eat that financial loss, or ...?

He also wouldn’t have any say over that because the USDA runs the school lunch program. I mean if he can make a deal with the USDA that would be great, but maybe he should look at the failures of Michelle Obama’s efforts to see what he is up against.
