During her eight years as first lady, nutrition was one of Michelle Obama’s main focuses. Michelle lobbied for regulations to public school lunches, which the federal government approved. The regulations included stricter standards on the amount of salt in food, and using whole wheat grains.
After the new standards were in place, the School Nutrition Association, a nonprofit professional organization that represents over 57,000 members that work in school food service, said students were refusing to eat the healthy lunches. This led to higher costs and food waste. Schools could choose to get rid of the program, but then they would be subject to federal subsidy cuts.
Despite the rejection of her school lunch standards, Mrs. Obama has apparently not been deterred in her efforts to get kids to eat healthier.
