ate and replaced it with food which largely ended up in the trash.
"I worked in a school cafeteria. The food was disgusting. I felt bad feeding them that chemically laced food. Everything canned or frozen."
"It was absolutely horrible. When I taught school, I witnessed kids getting the healthy garbage and then go straight to the garbage can and scoop It right off of their plate into the trash. Such a waste of money. We quit following it."
"Speaking as a former teacher and elementary school principal, what she actually did was make it so hard for our lunchroom workers to find something in her “plan” that the children would actually eat! The children went from eating a good hot meal to turning their noses up at the junk our lunchroom workers were forced to fix!"
"It was never a partisan issue......the food sucked! I spoke directly to a lunchroom employee at the high school my kids went to. She told me that the school district threw out over a million dollars worth of food because the kids refused to eat it. More and more kids began to bring their own lunches. If the program did anything it wasted billions of taxpayer dollars."
"I am a retired elementary school principal at a title I school. Our kids had a great cafe until Michelle’s policies were implemented. The lunches were terrible. More food was thrown away than was eaten. Our cafe ladies had no choice but to adhere to a menus across all schools. It was beyond terrible !!! Wasteful disaster."
