This saying as been around for eons, You can lead a kid to fruits and veggies but you can't make 'em eat.

I doubt it's the fruit and veggies as much as it is being told what to do. This appears to be one great big finger on the cheek to BHO and wife. Accordingly, it appears freedom and liberty still run in the veins of the true Americans.

"You vill eat your peas!"

Until the moocher at the WH starts serving this crap at their state dinners I will eat what I please. So are we going to have armed food police in schools? If you don't eat that broccoli they'll blow your brain out. I thought the dems were all about choice. Folks, this is only the beginning. This is the camel nose under the tent. What's next in their playbook?

How elected this Michelle person Queen?

How about Trash Cams in union offices to catch them planning AGAINST the Childrennnnnnnnnnn.

Next step is for Moochelle to get the plumber's helper and shove the veggies down their little throats.

How about cameras in the school staff rooms, you know, catching those rather large union teachers stuffing Little Debbies in their mouths and taking a quick smoke break in the bathroom? How about cameras in very nice Congressional lunch room in Washington DC? Bet you don't have to count your caloric intake or be sure to follow the new food chart in there. How about a camera in the Obama's personal living quarters in the WH? My, oh my, what we'd see there.

FTA:

"A Florida school district is considering a plan to install surveillance cameras on cafeteria trash cans to monitor what kids are throwing away – after they discovered that students were tossing out their federally-mandated fruit and vegetables"

Ummm, if you have already "discovered" that the students have tossed their veggies, why spend more $$$ on cameras to confirm what you already know?! More likely, so you can scare the kids into compliance with ominous cameras, whats next brown shirts standing at parade rest beside the dumpster?

Big(eared) Brother is watching!!!

Perhaps these cameras will not only show what is being thrown away---but WHO is doing the throwing!

Please wake-up! These people go way too far!

Well, here's a sweet little Oct. surprise for Mooch and Bam. Hungry kids make ticked off moms and dads. Bye bye soccer mom vote.

Funnel + hose in a restraint box. That'll get the fruits and veggies in the little miscreants. It's fo da chirruns.

"If you don't eat yer veggies, you can't have any pudding. How can you
have any pudding if you don't eat yer veggies?"

Hey! Moochle! Leave them kids alone!

Choose: Throw away your carrots and a) have your grades reduced one grade or b) have your parents put in jail.

Local school districts need the courage to tell the feds to keep their money and stuff their regulations.

Throw them on the floor then.

It sounds to me as if the cameras are focused on the Moochfood being thrown away and will be evidence to the Feds that children are simply not eating it. The petty tyranny is not working, the children are miserable, and the cost is tremendous.

Can it!

“Why not just remove the kids from their parent’s home at 3 – 5 years-old and put them in mass dormitories where their entire lives can be monitored and properly controlled so that they become properly modeled citizens and serve as they are needed by our enlightened leaders,” another reader wrote.

This mom is starting to catch on...

So Howard suggested the district attach security cameras to the trash cans to monitor exactly what is being thrown away.

They need a camera? Why not just look in the can to see for yourself?

I'm guessing this guy's IQ is about the same as his body temperature.

Big Brother eats healthy, and wants you to eat healthy, too. Or else.

This would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.

Moochelle vs. the kids of America - all of the kids of America (I can't believe that minority kids or kids of Dems think these food rules are peachy)....

I can hear them now: "Mom! Dad! Don't vote for him - and HER!!!!! Please!!!!!"

If they served packages of Fritos and Twinkies instead of fruits and vegies, there would be nothing in the trash at all except empty wrappers.

#7 - LOLOL!

So mooches central planning isn't going so well - and it worked so well in the old Soviet Union.

Funny - she had to give herself a cause and it flopped.

The school lunches are tasteless since they took out all the calories, fat, and salt! My daughters either throw away what they are forced to put on their plates or take their lunches now. It is a pain having to pack lunches!

What will the govn do with the kids who are seen throwing away that delicious cauliflower? Beat them, yell at them, suspend them?

Next, the schools will be mandated to run their brought from home lunches through an x-ray machine to scan for cookies and tater chips.

Contraband doncha` know. Those 3rd grade school records follow you everywhere you go in life. Might make you miss out on joining the FBI someday.

Oh, if they can't throw that in the trash can, why, there's no telling where this stuff could end up!! I'll bet there's lots of creative kids in schools....

Perhaps Miss Buttered Lobster 2012 can have the kids and their parents thrown into a concentration camp and starved until they fight each other to the death over a rotten sprig of broccoli.

#27 is right, these kids are smarter then they're given credit for. The food will end up on the floor, in their pockets and down their shirts before it ends up in their mouths. They will give it to a brown-bagger to toss. These cameras will do nothing but instill in the kids that Big Brother is watching everything they do - and I hope they grow up to resent the hell out of it.

The feds would have to see the child-sized arms throwing food away, lots of different ones (no face shots would be necessary). Otherwise, it could appear (to the feds) that only the school administration or lunchroom staff don't like the stuff and the video is a fake. You know how suspicious the feds are.

I think it's a great idea. If enough such videos (again, no faces) were sent to the feds, they'd have to rethink this terrible "healthy food" idea.

Of course, if Romney wins, then he'll probably revamp the program PDQ, no video required. In fact, he ought to make it part of his campaign. Think of all the parents who'd vote for him!

Throw the food at the camera, then follow it up with a one-finger salute. These meddling illegal AA "leaders" must not be allowed to win the little fights. They might get the idea that we take them seriously.

#26 - It was reported here, recently, that there are a number of schools that have lunch monitors who pick through the kids lunches and if the lunches do not meet the strict federal guidelines for a 'healthy' lunch, the lunches were tossed and the students were given a lecture, some chicken nuggets and were charged for them. From the sounds of it some very nice bag lunches were being tossed, leaving lots of unhappy children and parents.

I must have missed something. How does "the administration" get the authority to order schools to adhere to a menu? And why is Florida (or part of Florida) obeying? Is this a result of accepting Federal funds, total loss of control - or is this travesty under color of some law or illegal seizure of power?

Oh, trash cams, to watch the union teachers?

Veggies in school cafeterias do not taste like the ones at home....that's for sure. Maybe the parents will supply the children with doggie bags to bring the un-eaten veggies & fruit home to toss in non-camera trash cans.

There are cameras on what seems every street lamp pole, your mobile phone transmits your whereabouts, and our medical records will soon be the property of the federal government. Wow, what a slippery slope since 9/11, when so many were so willing to surrender civil liberties for "security." Funny, there are few posting the ol' canard, "I got nothing to hide, let 'em watch" these days. What next for our own good?

Couldn't they just snap photos of the trash can as the layers of gray broccoli and tasteless fruit mounted? Parents are going to have to find their spines and fight for their kids on this one.

All we are saying, is give peas a chance.
