6. Where's the racism? Lotsa wingnuts...

which is to be expected from that rqag, but I didn't see anything racist.

Kinda surprised I didn't, actually. Maybe they pull the nasty ones so as not to look so bad.

7. The charge that the food "tastes like vomit" is juvenile and ignorant, but it is not racist.

I agree that the comments below the article are racist. The Daily Caller is a popular right-wing blog, it is commented on by racists all over the country - there is no indication those comments were made by Kentuckians. I am painfully aware that racism exists in Kentucky, but I am also aware that it exists in every state.

The article was about a place called Harlan County, Kentucky - not "Huckleberry". About a third of the population lives below the poverty line. The county has famously struggled for labor rights for coal miners in the past.

Anyway, I commented because I have seen Kentucky called a racist state, a place full of dumb hillbillies who sleep with their siblings, and "backwoods fucks" all in the past few days. Some prejudices are still thriving.

8. They didn't personally tell the First Lady that her food tastes like vomit

They commented at some point and some place that the food tastes like vomit (perfectly normal behavior for school children), some right wing school board member relayed that information to the right wing Daily Caller who printed a headline that makes it seem as though the children personally told the First Lady that her food tastes like vomit.

9. The comment section there is absolutely disgusting. eom

10. So kids -gasp- don't like cafeteria food?!?

This is what passes for front page news at Tucker's website

11. I will say this...

The calorie cap is a problem. I have a son who is 6' 3" and weights 250 pounds. Not a lot a body fat -- the kid is built like a friggin' tank. And four days a week he has both gym class AND football practice.

A cap of 850 calories for lunch means that he pretty much has to bring a second lunch with him or be starving by dinner time.

The rest of the complaints in the article (Whole wheat bread! One percent milk!) are pretty silly.

12. Can you give him a high calorie breakfast and high calorie dinner to compensate? And send a snack

with him? Like a weight gain bar?

I trained for triathlon's from 2007-2009 and required 3000-4000 calories per day. You can get there while eating a 850 calorie lunch.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

22. True...

Depending on how they do this at our school (it's being implemented this year, and school hasn't started yet), we have to load him up for breakfast.

At another school in the region last year, they were limited the calories and prohibited students from bringing food in from the outside.

17. To be fair - it makes more sense for the outlier- the 250 pound football player,

to buy or be given two lunches than for the vast majority of students to be given too much food that either goes to waste or goes to waist!

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

21. I agree...

I'm not sure how it's being implemented this year, but in some local schools, they've prohibited students from bringing food in from the outside. And they weren't allowing kids to purchase more.

School doesn't start here until after Labor Day, so we'll see how this works out.

13. I have to gouge out my eyes

after reading that crap. What a bunch of stupid, hateful people.

[Sunlei]

14. lol, apples, pears, oranges and veggies taste like vomit to kentucky kids. :)

[SmittynMo]

15. There is just no fix for STUPID!!! N/T

[hedgehog]

19. I think the use of the term "dumb ass hicks" is pretty pejorative when applied to

poor whites.

I have no doubt the kids are complaining about the food. It is normal to prefer what we are used to eating. It's also harder to sell vegetables than processed food heavy in sugar, salt and fat. It's also harder to prepare good food properly - mushy pale canned green beans won't do the trick! ( Not that that's what being presented - just that school districts can't do that and expect the kids to like it!)

To top it off - presenting good food prepared locally is a present and future hazard to the food processing industry. It cuts into sales today and gets people used to what real food tastes like!

20. I guess that means they have a lot of experience eating vomit?

We flatlanders sure do find those mountain folks to be mighty peculiar.
