Students have begun to use #ThanksMichelleObama to take out their frustrations about school lunch on social media. They are sarcastically tagging pictures of mushy lunch trays in response to the first lady's promotion of her "Let's Move!" campaign. The initiative took effect in 2012 and is an attempt to reduce childhood obesity through better eating. Lunches have included more whole grains, vegetables and fruits. She's also reducing fat and sodium. However, students are saying that the food is now unpalatable. Some are criticizing the students for taking out their anger on Michelle Obama. They suggested that they instead target the school districts. Many, including Whitney from Richland Center High School, say that students deserve better options when it comes to lunch at school.
This article was written by Emanuella Grinberg of CNN News on November 22, 2014 at 4:12 PM. I think that this is article is very interesting. While I agree that there does need to be some reform on school lunches, I think that the students are ignorant for prosecuting Michelle Obama. Her initiative has been beneficial in the larger scheme of things and the issue that the students have should be taken up with the independent school districts.

I agree with you, Jack. It's not Michelle Obama whose the problem, but school district officials. I hope this article will get people to make some changes.
ReplyDeleteWell i have to partially agree in the since that Michelle Obama should have better things to do than mess around with school lunches and the district officials are just trying to be cheap that is their number one priority...
