School Board President Rips Michelle Over Lunch Rules, She Was “Elected by No One”

One of the most ridiculous examples of government overreach is Michelle Obama’s attempt to force schools to provide “healthy” foods-a determination made by the government of course-for students during lunch time.
Obama’s “lunch rules” weren’t the big hit she was hoping for, as students across the country took to Twitter to express their disgust with the ridiculous options they were given to eat.
Others rebelled by refusing to buy lunch, opting to bring their own food instead.

Schools have wasted massive amounts of money throwing away food not consumed by students, which is why many school systems in the country are beginning to opt out of the rules, despite the penalty of losing federal funding to pay for meals.
Rick Petfalski, a school board president stated that by leaving the program his schools won’t have to follow the guidelines, which he believes will reduce the waste and government intrusion.

“We believe that proper food nutrition and meal portion guidelines are best decided at a local level,” said Rick Petfalski, School Board president for the Muskego-Norway School District.
Opting out of the program means Muskego-Norway will no longer receive federal money for its meals, but it also means the district is free to serve whatever it wants.
Already losing money because fewer kids were buying the meals, the district will now have to cover the cost of free and reduced lunches on its own. It will do this partly by spending less on foods that students don’t eat and — they believe — increasing the number of kids buying lunches by providing tastier meals.
Under the school lunch program regulations, Petfalski said, the district’s food service was projected to be headed toward a $54,000 deficit. By opting out — and presumably selling more food — he expects about a $7,100 surplus.
“By leaving the program we will not be required to follow these onerous guidelines, pushed by and large by Michelle Obama, who last I checked has been elected by no one,” Petfalski said.
Petfalski is absolutely right. Michelle Obama is in no way, shape, or form an elected official with any legislative authority, much to the dismay of the president, who thinks the First Lady should be getting a salary for her “work.”
Freedom of choice is an important aspect of individual liberty, and these rules strip that away from students and parents. It’s a parent’s job to teach their children proper nutrition, and it’s the child’s responsibility to choose whether to follow those instructions or not.
More schools will eventually opt out of this ridiculous program, discovering the federal funding is actually hurting them financially. Anything related to education, including lunch, is best decided by parents and local communities, not the federal government.
