Sometimes, I Hate It When I'm Right.

Well, sometimes.  This RSR post from a few days ago prophesied the result of the school lunch choices The Queen is imposing on our little ones - because, she's a nutritionist or something.  Well, dear readers, read it and weep:
In 2010, Michelle Obama went to a lame-duck session of Congress with a request: pass a nutrition bill giving the United States Department of Agriculture broad new powers to regulate school lunches. That bill was passed in late December of that year, and the new regulations have started to go into effect, with the predictable results of wasted food and angry, hungry child
The cinnamon rolls and chili everyone loved from their childhood are now gone. Bands and other school groups can no longer sell candy bars as a fundraiser. The government is mandating everything from portion size to how many tomatoes have to be on a salad.

P.J. Moran, a food service director for a small district in rural Kansas, said wastage has gone up “at least 20 percent” over last year, as students, particularly at the grade school level, cannot refuse anything on their trays — but, of course, cannot be forced to eat it.
And you know it's serious.  There's a video:



PARTING THOUGHT:  Back in 1981, The Left / Mainstream Media howled when Reaganites called a serving of ketchup a school lunch vegetable. Now, under the Guidance of our Dear Queen, they call it an entire meal.
