LYNNWOOD, Wash. – Michelle Obama’s national school lunch overhaul is getting a little ridiculous.

The First Lady worked with federal bureaucrats to strictly limit what types of foods can be served in school cafeterias across the country in an effort to fight childhood obesity. The federal regulations on meat, vegetables, salt, and other aspects of the school lunch has been met with staunch indignation from students who have either trashed their mandatory fruit and vegetables or opted not to eat lunch at all.
Now, the Edmonds School District in Washington state and others are cracking down on birthday cupcakes and other sugary snacks students bring from home under a directive from the federal lunch police, according to news reports.

Federal Lunch Police? Telling parents what they can and cannot pack for lunch for their children? Wow.

I get that she thinks she's "doing good" by trying to force kids to eat shitty (but ostensibly healthy) food. It won't work (as seen by kids either avoiding lunch altogether or throwing away 90% of it) but something seems amiss here regarding Her Majesty's understanding of Freedom... (No surprise there at all).
