*Schools Pulling Healthy Lunches Because Students Won’t Eat Them***** August 28, 2013 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.<http://personalliberty.com/author/upipl/> ****
WASHINGTON, (UPI) – School systems across the United States say students aren’t eating the federally funded lunches served under a program touted by first lady Michelle Obama.**** Saying they are losing money throwing out uneaten food, a number of school districts are revising the menus designed to fight childhood obesity, CBS News reported Wednesday.**** The program requires that lunches include fresh fruit, vegetable and whole grains. Calories must be limited to 850 for high school students, 700 for middle school and 650 for elementary.**** The healthy food choices have drawn complaints by school districts from California to New York. One official in Kentucky said students told him the food tasted like “vomit.”**** About 100,000 school districts signed up for the program, fewer than expected.**** The Laguna Beach, Calif., school district says it’s not dropping out of the program, as others have done. Instead, it has instituted monthly taste tests and will sell sandwiches.**** The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers the program, said it didn’t expect a widespread defection from the lunch plan because most school districts already met the program’s guidelines.**** __._,_. __,_._,___ -- -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
