I love tomatoes, I can eat them like apples. That material around the seeds is a nutrient powerhouse that gives the body plenty of useful nutrients, and the seeds, if one can stand to chew them also are nutrient dense.

He’ll pay for this, as will his supporters whose children will be harmed as much as any other group, but I just wish he’d leave the kids out of his maniacal vengeance splurges.

Michelle Obama did a good thing, and he can’t take that away from her. That’s not as easy as taking fresh fruit and vegetables away from the nation’s schoolchildren.

a few years ago I made my students make healthy food choices and we discussed nutrition often. I would go with them at lunch to make sure they took some healthy stuff. To be honest, the fruit was awful. None of it, no matter what variety, was not rock hard. You could pound nails with it. They never had fat free dressing or low fat cheese, which pissed me off. Even the "healthy" snack bars they got for free each day were all sugar. The teachers were discussing this at one meeting since they were gaining weight eating along with the students at snack time. And this was the new, improved, healthier school food. I can imagine what kids will eat now.

Earlier tonight I bought some apples, oranges and cheese slices, enough to last maybe a week. That cost $30 dollars. Imagine a person that is on a limited income, that person can't pay $30 for something that may last 4-5 days. We need to not only make healthy food less expensive and higher quality (we can start the quality route by not refrigerating the hell out of it - that stops the ripening process and makes it hard or mushy), but we also need to focus more on what kids like most -something that healthy food advocates ignore in their rush to have kids eat what they think is right for them.

The Trump changes will likely have the effect to making kids heavier and less fit, increasing the problems that are endemic in society already.

In podunk Kenedy, Tx back in the 80s. I loved it... why? Because I got to weigh the salad on a scale and I liked the croutons and little corn, etc. but needed lettuce as it wouldn’t be a salad without it.

We moved to Houston when I was eight years old, and the first day I was all, where’s the salad bar? The gal who’d go on to be a good friend looked at me like I had three heads. Lol.

Anyways, I really appreciated Michelle Obama’s initiative, as I’ve come to value more nutrient dense foods. Kiddos really need such. Is a shame tRump took that away, because he’s that mean/dumb.

Pretty sure the bulk buys for schools would be among the fruit grown for its endurance more than the taste, texture and nutrition.

As for the sugar, it's both amazing and alarming how many ways sugar is added to so many foods!

This is President FatFuks Birthday present to Michelle Obama. What a miserable POS! I hope he chokes on a a KFC drumstick.
