I was told that Michelle Obama is starving our children...

It was really laughable. Because of changes to the school lunch program and children aren't eating cookies and crap at school, they are being starved. It's all Michelle Obama's fault because she dictates to the schools what to feed the children. One lady swore up and down that is exactly what Michelle Obama said on the Disney channel.

I did give them links to the law that Obama signed which had nothing to do with Michelle Obama. It's the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act. It was introduced by Blanche Lincoln.

That crazy lady didn't believe me when I explained that Michelle Obama is the first lady. Not a lawmaker.

cafeterias in Texas. They said it was SO sad, and they felt SO sorry for the poor kids who couldn't have potatoes and goodies. They admitted to sneaking them bad food. "I'm not going to be the one to tell them they can't have what they really want." just insane
