Poll of the Day > PASTA is now a VEGETABLE in the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION Healthy Food Guidelines!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

The Trump administration continues hacking away at Michelle Obama's healthy guidelines for lunches at american schools after overturning all the rules where cafeterias can bring back selling junk food such as FRENCH FRIES and BURGERS on the menu and now the exploited a "loophole" that allows them to bring certain PASTAS on the menu to qualify as VEGETABLES for students!!

The US Dept of Agriculture proposals will continue to erode Michelle Obama's legacy by easing restrictions on the types and quanities on fruit and veggies as Pasta that is made from vegetable flour may now credit as a vegetableeven if the pasta is served with another recognized vegetable

They said the changes will help reduce food waste because students often given too much fruit and veggies which is thrown away as Sonny Perdue said schools tell them there's too much waste and kids don't want to eat their fruits and veggies and now they're giving them "what they really want"

These provisions are more "a la carte" meals that brings in pizzas and burgers that also reduces fruit intake at breakfast as the rest of the calories are made up with pastries and grnola and allow potatoes to qualifty as a vegetable every day

Colin Schwartz said these changes will now create a huge loophole in school nutrition guidelines paving away for children to choose pizzas, burgers, french fries and other foods high in fat and calories and carb or sodium in place of balanced meals

Obama's Hunger Fre Kids Act of 2010 was hailed as a step towards reducing childhood obesity where fruits and veggies and whole grains were given as portion sizes were reduced as american's obesity epidemic was out of control that was putting a strain on healthcare costs

Trump has targeted environmental and public health regulations since taking over as he's also made sweeping environmental rollbacks that could leave waterways vulnerable to pollution..

Trump doesn't shy from the fact that he enjoys fatty foods as McDonalds has been his favourite fast food as well as serving them when people visit the White House

Do you support schools now allowed to serve fatty junk food to kids?

They want to feed fatty foods to non-White and poor White kids.

Umm... is the chair emblazoned or is that goop from the back of Trump's head? (I can't tell since the spot isn't centered)

---

Considering that pizza was effectively declared a vegetable under guidelines put into place while Obama was president, there doesn't seem to be much issue.

Implying non-white kids choose to eat cafeteria food but white kids don't? Stop being racist.

I don't see this being a problem when they can't enforce eating trash-quality veggies that are probably half rotten or boiled to tasteless gruel.

Ketchup was a vegetable under Reagan's administration, so this is nothing really new.

ketchup is a fruit smoothie

Pasta isn't unhealthy, but it can be part of an unhealthy diet if their parents overfeed them outside of school. Veggies from a public school lunch doesn't sound appetizing anyways.

The entire administration is a bad clown side show at a burning circus.

My best cafeteria memories were al la carte Wednesdays in middle school, Thanksgiving lunches and the ranch dressing dispenser in high school during the great Obama famine.

My original statement was factually correct as written. Yours is factually questionable, between the fact that Obama signed the bill and Democrats also supported the provision.

Try doing some research before posting something stupid:

In other words:

Republicans pushed back against changes Obama was seeking to make school lunches healthier.

Strength is being able to crush a tomato.
Dexterity is being able to dodge a tomato.
Constitution is being able to eat a bad tomato.
Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit salad.
Charisma is being able to sell a tomato-based fruit salad.

Do you support schools now allowed to serve fatty junk food to kids again?

Yes. Although a choice is always best. Besides parents can always provide packed lunches if they care that much.
