This confirms something I've believed for a long time. In America, it's "all about the kids." All these "family values" types running around. But these are just WORDS. If you look closer you will see the ugly truth. America Hates Children. If you look at what money is spent on in America, you will see that our priorities are emphatically NOT taking care of children. This article points out the fantastic details of our "school nutrition" programs, which are going great guns here while the media continues to pump out shocked updates on "childhood obesity."
When things go bad, the FIRST thing to get hacked is education. Amazing that raising taxes on the rich causes an uproar with people who barely have a pot to piss in, but there is no big media blitz on cuts to education, it's just the ordinary course of business here.
If you look at a list of what our government spends money on, I would bet they spend as much on crap like "ethanol subsidies" as they do on kids. Plus they will bring powerful investigative resources to bear to root out "welfare fraud" and cause collateral damage to poor children while dishing out billions to bankers who made bad bets. Based on what I see below, instead of feeding kids this crappy food maybe we should try getting them to live on ethanol, if that is scientifically possible. This is a program that may CREATE JOBS. You're welcome.
Remember the documentary "Supersize Me" in which a man eats McDonald's for a whole month (and gains 24 pounds)? Well a Chicago mother and teacher brought that idea to the lunch line. After being outraged by the food served in her school cafeteria, Sara Wu started a blog called Fed Up With Lunch, which she wrote under the pseudonym of Mrs. Q. For a whole year, she ate her school cafeteria lunch and documented her experience with photos of her meals.
She was appalled at what she found. She ate 162 lunches that included sausage pizza, tater tots, cheeseburgers, "bageldogs," and a prepackaged peanut butter and jelly sandwich that literally made her sick. Wu finally revealed her identity to her thousands of followers with the release of her book "Fed Up With Lunch," which hits stores this week. The book launch coincides with National School Lunch Week and National Take Your Parents to Lunch Day, when parents are encouraged to visit their children's cafeteria, snap a photo of their lunch, and upload it online. You can check out our Facebook page to look at lunch photos and upload your own!
