No More Fattening Bake Sales as Federal Nutrition Laws Go Into Effect

No More Fattening Bake Sales as Federal Nutrition Laws Go Into Effect

The Wall Street Journal this week takes a look at the effect of federal nutrition laws that went into effect this past July. Developed through First Lady Michelle Obama’s relentless obesity campaigning, the laws will see campus bake sales around the country slice some of their more fattening offerings. Gone are pizza, candy bars, and brownies. Today’s school bake sales must instead incorporate granola treats, fruit cups, and other snack items unlikely to inspire donations in quite the same way.
The new nutrition law will affect more than 30 million children at schools around the United States. It puts the onus on the USDA to come up with national standards when it comes to what kinds of food and beverages are sold in the lunchroom with authority over vending machines, snack carts, and fundraisers. State governments have some leeway over providing exemptions, but schools that aren’t given exemptions can be subject to fines if they are out of compliance with the new regulations.
Fattening bake sales, of course, play a rather limited role in the nation’s obesity problem. School lunches may play a slightly larger role, but even the most clueless liberal can admit that the majority of the problem lies at home. Parents need to feed their kids healthier options, take the Doritos out of the home, and get their children outside to exercise. Forcing schools to comply with federal regulations will result in low student participation, especially if the menu is at odds with what the kids are used to eating at home. Some argue that there’s nothing wrong with schools offering a healthier menu plan – and that’s certainly true – but there’s a difference between trying out new recipes and being forced from above to comply with regulations.
Quite simply, the law is incompatible with Obama’s insistence that lower-income kids get the school nutrition they need. Plenty of children from poor households rely on school meals to actually get their daily sustenance. To play a game with those meals by forcing them to fit some government anti-obesity standard is wrong. Middle class children are just going to bring the lunch they prefer if they don’t see attractive options in the school menu. Children in poverty will have to make do with low-calorie meals if they want to eat. This is a foolhardy mistake, and that’s before we even get into the fact that the federal government shouldn’t be involved at this level at all.
According to a 2013 health report, less than 30% of American high school students got at least an hour of physical activity every day. This is one of the real cruxes behind the national obesity crisis, and it is one that isn’t going to be solved by forcing menus into school lunchrooms. At a time when we’re looking high and low for ways to put more money into the classroom, it’s confounding that we would be fining schools for not adhering to a nutritional law.

News, Rumors, and Opinions Tuesday Morning

News, Rumors, and Opinions Tuesday Morning

08/05/2014
TNT:

Gnosis:  The clock is ticking for this PM vote to happen, by Friday, or possibly Sunday at the latest.

Iko Ward: Peeps, the PM has been voted on, the budget has been approved, the UN has approved Article VIII compliance, MasterCard has announced implementation, the Stock Exchange has announced operation. What you are all referring to is main stream media managed news reports. It' s done, all of it. All we are waiting on is for POTUS to push the button.

Gnosis:  It's like THE candidate the Tony and DC talk about is just waiting for the ducks to be in a row for the vote to be able to happen in a way that will work and not cause chaos due to M's craziness. is one thought.

Trapdoor : Everyone seems to be looking at the GOI seating as a back wall event. There are none in this quest. Iraq is a big part of it, but not all of it. It will go when EVERYTHING is in place and nobody really knows what everything is. Relax, it is all happening before our eyes. Just watch and be ready.
....
JD:  Deltas call last night says Maliki gained 7 seats to be at 103 in State Law compared to 72 in National Alliance. We might be surprised,hang on to your hats we may be in for a ride...

Gnosis:  Thursday could well be our Tuesday. Hey, Parliament voted their Speaker and President in in a fast and efficient way. The PM position has been more complicated but its close.

B Squared:  I like what DC said ... Once the PM is seated, the RV will occur.

Trapdoor:  I think Iraq has been ready for months. That is what we have been told, at least logistically ready. When it happens, a lot of things globally will pop all at the same time, from the micro of Iraq to the macro of world banking and the major sovereigns. Iraq is NOT a sovereign nation yet, they need their own currency to be classified as such. Until then, they still do what they are told.

OKRocks:  If it goes according to plan now (we know how that is) Historic bonds will begin trading on Wednesday. The RV is to be announced shortly.

Kaper :  If all positions in iraq have been filled just not announced then everything we hear out of iraq is political theatre. Imo the usa is telling them not to announce pm as a stalling tactic

okrocks : KAPER exactly!

okrocks : they are naming the PM on Wed and Present him Thursday

******************************

Stage3Alpha:

Omegaman TRN is purported to be live by WED. USA, according two separate SOURCES out of HK...Platforms to start paying Bond sellers out a portion, this week...PBX expected/FOREX by this week...according to sources...

Goomba1:If all of this is true, we have it in the BAG !!

Omegaman:  yes, two sources is a very nice and semi-secure #; so i tend to believe it this time

Latest Clues........

So the meetings in DC are finished

The RV is BACK ON......So we're looking for it now!!!

Waiting for the PM announcement out of Iraq (USA has Allowed Iraq to make the announcement)

L Klempke August 4, 2014 Part of the intel released over the week end said the Chinese elders offered more gold to back US TRN".  The US refused the deal-the Chinese withdrew the offer.  The US called back immediately.  The Chinese said OK with strings attached.  So maybe the last clues read the meeting concerning Mid East policy had  negotiating errors.  The Chinese want the patents on the new technology released.  The Chinese win with a field goal?  The picture Exo posted is called "Negotiating error"

Imagist August 4, 2014 at 10:23pm Fight is over new currency? TRN vs FRN?

GET: (Warning to stay quiet and discreet)

[Biddy 10] I was just watching again the lady here north of Houston that had her 3 story, 3,ooo sq ft closet broken into and I mil worth of jewels, watches etc stolen on Fri night while they were out to dinner. Don't think they took any furs that were on the 3rd floor of the closet. Would you believe they forgot to set the alarm when they went out to dinner. Gated community. They have a view of the guy that broke in on camera. Seems to be just him. So guess we will have to be more careful with our riches.

[arizona49] Biddy 10 A 3 story 3,000 sq foot closet...omg

 [Biddy 10] arizona49 yep the first floor was all shelves of shoes and $60,000 purses. Oh and all her Rolex and some other watches. It was beautiful.

 [Biddy 10] She didn't mind the stolen things except for a locket that had some hair in it from her son that died about 8 yrs ago. She just wants that back.

 [arizona49] Biddy 10 She does these shows from her closet...omg...that is just inviting robbers.... That is sad that the robber took the locket, but they just grab anything
