Former First Lady Michelle Obama is surprised that her school lunch program proved to be so controversial.
Obama made the remarks during an appearance this week on the Not Gonna Lie podcast with Kylie Kelce, asserting that her decision to make a difference with school lunches — and her overall “Let’s Move” initiative — was “strategic” in nature.
“I was trying to be strategic about aligning my agenda with something that was important to the West Wing. And I thought, ‘There’s no way that anyone is going to take issue with trying to make school lunches healthier, getting kids more active,'” she said.

Another example of the total disconnect between the better, smarter political class and the proles who aren't smart enough to recognize their brilliance.

I'm shocked I even cared to read about anything Big Mike had to say.

Kids have to take everything, weren't allowed to trade anything, their only option for food they didn't want but had to take was to throw it away! So much waste!!!!!!!

This program was a resounding & unpopular failure. Regardless of whether she meant well or not, the approach was an atypical Democrat over reliance on dogma, while ignoring the slop they were serving the kids. Now, if RFK Jr. had been the Sec HHS back then, maybe he could've seen how to improve on the selection of foods served. But honestly, you or I or virtually anyone else other than Michelle Obama would've made better choices.

I wondered at the time why a woman who had two children of her own was insisting on a school diet for kids that they would not eat. Even if they did, there was not enough of it. Well, now I know the why, she never had kids. For the record, she admitted once she had surrogates, but it's deeper than that.

Forget about that nasty school lunch mess she came up with. Never saw so much so called food thrown away. I want to talk about that hair. PS Pack your kid's lunch. It's not that difficult.

First of all it's Big Mike not Michelle. Let's get the facts straight. Second Big Mike is only a food expert on high end all you can eat buffets around the world of which expertise was acquired via numerous lavish vacations that were funded by us good ole' Taxpayer Peasants during Ex-Dictator's tenure in the White House. Thirdly Big Mike has never had any children of his own so how in hell would he know what is good for kids to eat in school. Blaming the revulsion of the pig swill Big Mike was forcing on our children as a "partisan" issue is like blaming Big Mike's massive size 12 gunboat feet on the shoe manufacturers. Just how did Big Mike and her punk Barack amass a fortune worth several hundreds of millions on a government salary?

The 0bama woman is surprised because she is politically tone-deaf and clueless. She has no experience in politics, has no business in politics. She could not manage the local dog pound. It appears she can braid her hair, though.

School meals still fill the trashcans. The amount of wasted food is atrocious. Unopened milk , juice and uneaten food.
Kids don't eat the crap they're serving.

The Wookie's lunch program did one thing well. It filed the trash cans in every school cafeteria very quickly. The kids just threw the stuff away.

One good thing that came of this - it introduced a lot of kids to the horrors of liberal policies. I know my younger cousins are less liberal than 20-somethings used to be.

I can't quite decide who should be the 2028 Democrat nominee: "Michelle," Harris, Mike, AOC, Walz, Newsom...
They're all so charismatic.

Not only did school lunches become inedible garbage, the menus in the elite private schools the Obama spawn attended got published. After that it was a train wreck.

This women would not eat the garbage that she recommended for our children. You can tell that Michele eats well and it shows in all the wrong places.

Not only was it not palatable, based on anecdotes about growing nephews, it was not even close to satisfying. They were left hungry. It's for the children.

It is my firm opinion that Michelle Obama believes she is a replacement for God and that people have to turn to her for daily living habits.

Healthier food is a good idea, but it has to be edible.

When I was in grade school there was a man who came around every day and picked up the thrown away stuff from students trays, he fed it to his hogs. He raised fat, healthy hogs!
They wont allow that anymore. Worms get the stuff now. Hogs probably wouldnt want that stuff big mike was pushing anyway.

It was a much bigger waste than just the school lunches. In addition to the lunches the kids were given bags of food to take home, filled with, what the kids deemed inedible junk. It filled the trash barrels set outside the schools and those in the parks nearby. The kids and their families needed food, but that didn't stop them dumping it; the food was that bad. It may have had the unintended result, on those future dem voters that will not be forgotten: the party served them swill while they ate in luxury.
