Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move: ‘Americans Clearly Support’ Lunch Rules

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Free Beacon:

Michelle Obama’s anti-obesity group is claiming Americans “clearly support” the First Lady’s healthy school lunch rules, despite a barrage of negative complaints about the standards on social media.

 

“Let’s Move” attempted to get ahead of negative press about the lunches with the start of the school year, by posting a poll that claims 86 percent of Americans support the first lady’s healthy rules. But when schools began to reopen across the country over the past week, students resumed posting photos of unappetizing fare and meager portions in the lunchroom, with the hash tag #ThanksMichelleObama.

 

“As the school bells begin to ring welcoming in the next school year, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation released a new national survey demonstrating that Americans clearly support keeping school meals healthy,” Let’s Move said.

 

“[T]he American public has noticed and appreciated the healthier school meal standards as the survey shows that 67 percent say the nutritional quality of food in their local schools is excellent or good, which is up from only 26 percent in 2010 before the standards were put into place,” they said.

 

The 86 percent figure came from a question that asked in general terms whether fruits and vegetables should be served in school.
