Audrey Gavitt- Michelle Obama criticizes Trump administration's school lunch policy

Summary-Former first lady Michelle Obama expressed concern Friday over the Trump administration's decision to scale back school meal nutritional requirements. "You have to stop and think, 'Why don't you want our kids to have good food at school? What is wrong with you, and why is that a partisan issue?" Obama said at the annual summit of the Partnership for a Healthier America, a nonprofit that works with the private and public sectors to fight childhood obesity. "Why would that be political?" USDA shifts Obama-era school lunch guidelines USDA shifts Obama-era school lunch guidelines Obama's comments come a little over a week after Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue signed a proclamation that relaxes standards for the upcoming school year in three key areas: whole grains, salt and milk.

Analysis- This article was written by Saba Hamedy and published by CNN on May 13th. It is very important to still see Michelle Obama still fighting for the things she believes in and fought for while she was first lady. Its very hopefully and inspiring to see her doing this to make sure everything she helped to do while Obama was president doesn't disappear or be wasted. After everything Trump has done in his first few months of his presidency to try to override Obamas presidency its nice to know that there are people out there who wont let it happen and have such a influence and power as Michelle Obama.
