“Children were not eating the food” – Texas school opting out of super healthy federal lunch program

Clearly Texas, being a red state, has corrupted these children and now they’re all racists. I mean, why else would they reject the first black first lady’s homegrown meal program?

CBS DFW – At least one North Texas school district has turned up its nose at the new federal lunch program. Many schools report kids refused to eat the healthier meals that are supposed to be packed with whole grains, fruits and vegetables.

Carroll Independent School District has dropped out for a year. Nutrition Services Director Mary Brunig says the requirements are too restrictive. “You have to follow exactly what is in this meal pattern, if you are the national school lunch program.”

Brunig says as a result, a lot of food wound up in the trash.

“With the new program in place, the new meal pattern, our participation started to drop. And the other thing was there was food waste. Children were not eating the food,” she said. “If the children aren’t eating the food, there’s no nutrition.”

Brunig says the district plans to create its own healthy meals without federal restrictions.

“We do have an executive chef on staff here and when you’re limited as far as a meal pattern it does stifle the creativity of what we can offer these kids on menus.”
