It's Okay for Those Obama Kids, But Not Yours

For some reason that I do not understand, Michelle Obama has been given the authority to determine what my children would eat in their school lunches.  If I send a lunch that the school disapproves of, they will even give my child one of their lunches, charge me for it and send a chiding note home with my child.
I like to pack things that my children will eat, I am not one for wasting food.  I understand the basic food groups, I know about vitamins, fats, and proteins.  I get it.
What I don't get is having someone like Michelle Obama trying to tell me how many calories my child should have so that they come home starving.  How can they think and learn if they are still hungry?  Meanwhile- the Yeti and B.O. send their daughters to a very exclusive school- Sidwell Friends School.  It is where the rich and powerful educate their children, away from the hoi polloi.
The yeti would have our children eating only 850 calories at lunch.  850 calories for growing children, many of whom get their best meal while at school.  These children are hungry.  But now, thanks to her, they are hungrier.
Here is an actual menu from the fancy schmancy private school that the Obama children attend.  This was served to them on May 29,2014:

Does it seem like it might be more than 850 calories to you?  Yeah, me too.

This is just more of the imperialism from B.O. and family.  It's good enough for our children to be hungry after lunch, but not theirs.  Think about it, you'll thank me later.
