President Obama’s Daughters Get Healthy School Lunches: Why Don’t I?

It’s not political, it’s lunch.  A beautiful 8-year-old school girls is a poster girl for healthy school lunches.  The poster refers to President Obama’s girls get healthy lunches, and then asks, “ Why don’t I?”

The White House, not the building itself because, afterall, it is just a building, is mad. Or, is that MAD!

The threats abound to take down the posters or else.  The threat is this: 

“The children of the president are always off-limits. Always. No exceptions,” according to Frank Luntz, a Republican political consultant.  ”No ifs, ands or buts. And while it may draw short-term attention to the issue, the White House will hate the organization for it. And I assure you they will be punished. You don’t mess with the president’s children. It’s an unwritten rule.”

Schools and school programs, including school lunches are always on chopping blocks.  Slicing lunch menus very thin where the wallet is thin, if existent at all, is not new.  Fat wallet = fat lunch.  That’s the way it is.  If some poor kid has to eat unhealthy at school, so be it.  “Eat your crackers and get back to class.”  

Sure, some clutching to the heartstrings of kindness believe that GM, Fanny and Freddie, along with Wells Fargo, BofA, and a few more good-hearted Samaritans will share their hard earned monies with hard-times programs and people, but it may be a pie-in-the-sky to get a pie on a plate from these folks who are just struggling from paycheck to paycheck to feed their kids

None of this is about, or should be about politics.  It’s lunch.  So what a few kids go hungry, or do not eat as well as some others?  This world is not about fairness.  This world is not about compassion.  This world is not about sharing.  This is a dog eat dog world.

“Hmm?  That reminds me I hope my dog will be OK with just water again tonight.  Afterall, the kids gotta eat something tonight.  Oh, well got old Spot probably won’t mind being a water dog.”
