 The USDA recommended beef patties for schools uses a filler of 26 ingredients most of them unpronounceable ranging from thiamine mononitrate to piridoxine hydrochloride and is ammonia treated.
Lean beef with a little salt, pepper and maybe some spices if preferred is a heck of a lot better tasting than the school crap. It is not the person who cooked it but what is in the patties that isn't fit to eat.amp;

 It is just like the federal government, in this case Michelle, to dictate the standards and expect others to abide by them. There were even cases reported of children who brought their lunch from home not being allowed to eat it because it didn't meet the guidelines.
We tell the government to stay out of our bedrooms, they should also stay out of our brown bags!
One piece of cheese may meet the protein requirement in a lunch for a first grader, but it sure isn't going to satisfy the hunger of an eighth grader, or meet his requirements. We cannot have a one size fits all for our entire country. LOCAL school systems need to handle this.
While it is true that our diets are not as healthy as they should be, one of the main problems for childhood obesity is lack of exercise. Take a look at kids hooked to their electronics as compared to those out playing sports and riding their bikes with their friends.
Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

There are a lot of things that I ate in High School that I would not eat today including those obnoxious ARA Burgers. The lunches in High School consisted of prepackaged food and sugared soda. These are not things that I would feed to my kids. My family was poor so if we wanted a school lunch in elementary school - we would work in the cafeteria for it. I had done it on many occasion. Most of the time it was a lunch pail with a peanut butter sandwich, an apple and Kool aide. When I had my own children, I made sure that they got a school lunch, most of time - the menu was decent. I didn't see any major league changes when Michelle Obama started her "Lets Move" cause. They added a salad bar and some whole grain products. I do remember being a cashier and observing what some folks bought with their EBT Cards. It was mostly junk food and mountain dew. If this is what kids are eating at home, it is not surprising that they not interested in salads and whole grains.
