Michelle Obama doesn't want you to have bake sales...

I think this is absolutely hysterically funny.  Really!  Another case of "we have to pass the bill to see what's in the bill."  And why is it funny?  Because the majority of teachers (union members, doncha know) voted for Obama.  The jokes on them...

A child nutrition bill on its way to President Barack Obama — and championed by the first lady — gives the government power to limit school bake sales and other fundraisers that health advocates say sometimes replace wholesome meals in the lunchroom.

[...]"This could be a real train wreck for school districts," Lucy Gettman of the National School Boards Association said Friday, a day after the House cleared the bill. "The federal government should not be in the business of regulating this kind of activity at the local level."  

Hold the brownies! Bill could limit bake sales

Child "Nutrition" Bill hiding in the background for now...

From The Hill:

House Republicans on Wednesday scuttled a Democratic bid to pass a child nutrition bill that’s at the center of first lady Michelle Obama’s anti-obesity agenda. read the rest

  As I said yesterday, take the cafeterias out of the schools and let the kids bring their lunches. Anyone want to make a bet that these poor and starving children are carrying around a cell phone way more advanced than my flip phone?  I didn't think so...

Michelle Malkin brings us up to date on the connection of SEIU to the food being served in the cafeterias of our schools.

Dems trying to push through $4.5 Billion School Lunch Bill

Michelle Obama's pet project of changing the menus in schools is supposed to cost $4.5 BILLION dollars.  Why??  To accomplish this seemly arduous task, they plan on cutting the food stamp program.  Does that make even the tiniest bit of sense? 

Pelosi called passing the bill the “right, moral thing for us to do.”  Really?  I didn't know that giving little kids access to salad bars (today's children won't eat salads), is a moral issue.  A better moral issue would be  teaching kids that homosexuality is an intrinsically immoral way of living, not just a "different lifestyle."  Or slaughtering a child in the womb is just a "choice" instead of modern day genocide.   Pelosi's morals, evidenced by her own words in defiance of Catholic Church teachings, are in serious doubt.

The people of this country are so used to schools having cafeterias and handing out free lunches, starting with the concept that children need a "hot" meal,  they can no longer see the underlying issue.  Why exactly do we have lavish kitchens and cafeterias in schools to begin with? 

Here's a really common sense solution.  Rip out the kitchens and replace it with classrooms or another gym.  The children can bring a PB & J  or a tuna sandwich and an apple from home in a little brown paper bag.  And when they're finished eating, the "monitors for the week" can sweep the floors and wipe down the tables. Local dollars can be budgeted to keep a few extras in the break room for those that show up without lunch. If  certain children continue to show up without lunch, it would be indicative of further investigation as to why.
A family receiving food-stamps should be able to provide a simple lunch for their children.  Failure to do this points to the possibility of some other problem in the household.  Mom spending all the money on drugs?  Dad drinking up the food budget?  This is not an onerous solution.  There was a time in this country's  history when children bringing their own lunches was routine. It was simple and cost effective. 

Every single day we wake up to another massive spending bill put forth by the democrats.  Where is this money coming from?  Instead of being worried about the BMI (a very dubious measurement of obesity) of our nations children, perhaps Michelle should try being concerned about the obesity of our federal government.
