Do you think what we're talking about here is a locally funded and conceived program, really?

I'm not sure there is a program at all. That's why I asked that you show me a federal program.
 
So you don't dodge them. Got it.
More retardation from you, figures.


Just because you can pretend to understand a definition does not mean you actually know what the word means.
:doh
Say the guy who had to be given the definition of it. iLOL


Hint: If the kids are indoctrinated, they actually believe they like it (The administrators beliefs have nothing to do with the kids' indoctrination).
Says the guy who tried to confuse "like" with thinking something was healthy.

And yeah, you have no clue if the administrations opinion has anything to do with indoctrination, as what they perceive could very well be a result of it.


You clearly don't know what the word means.
:naughty
No, that was you as I had to provide you the definition.


Saying "Wrong again" repeatedly without actually demonstrating the statement to be wrong does not change reality,
:doh Of course stating the fact that you are wrong does not change the fact that you are wrong. That is just silly.


The reality is that you don't know how to use the word in an intelligent, correct manner.
Showing of course that you are only speaking of yourself.

indoctrinate
in·doc·tri·nate
[in-dok-truh-neyt]
verb (used with object), in·doc·tri·nat·ed, in·doc·tri·nat·ing.

No matter how you want to view this, it is indoctrination.

Pushing/teaching/indoctrinating anything the Gov does as right/good/healthy, etc... Is wrong.
The Gov doing such is indoctrination, no matter how much you want to retardedly claim it isn't.



Personally, I would blame it on the teachers who failed to "indoctrinate" you on how to use the English language at an adult level.
Says the guy who has demonstrated a lack of knowledge concerning it's usage.
 
I don't think anyone's actually defended schools banning packed lunches. That's just a crappy policy through and through.

Sriracha sauce on cat **** would work too.
And I don't think any schools have actually banned kids bringing lunches, not to my knowledge anyway. At our school, the principal did put her foot down about kids bring a huge bag of hot Cheetos and nothing else for their lunch. Talk about parent's responsibility, or lack thereof, that was a prime example.

Again, just because you think that you comprehend something does not mean you do. You are a classic case of the dunning-kruger effect. You are clearly incompetent at comprehending that which you read, but you are so incapable of recognizing your own incompetence that you feel you are more competent than those who are.

This applies to you.

You obvious just can't comprehend it.

Your ignorance on what the actual definition says/means, leads you to have an undeserved confidence.

Talk about parent's responsibility, or lack thereof, that was a prime example.

There has been one school, somewhere in Chicago, but they were banned before the new guidelines on nutrition ever came out. The principle even says it was done over 6 years ago because of junk food being brought on field trips. Most people do not agree with this. It is one thing to limit what sorts of food a kid might bring to school, another to ban all lunches from home.

Another place where lunches from home have been banned is in preschools/head start programs. However, there have been no actual federal guideline that says they have to be banned provided, despite some schools, districts, or even states thinking otherwise. And some of them are being banned for other reasons besides base nutrition, among those being sanitation, potential allergies, no place to store them, and school liability issues. I imagine there are a lot of reasons that schools for preschool age children would not want lunches brought in. In fact, the school my son went to last year for speech had preschool classes that only lasted 3-4 hours, with two different sessions each day (one morning, one afternoon). The students only got snacks provided by the school in their classrooms.
 
Getting caught in a photo-op eating unhealthy food does not help her lame cause,


You are wrong.Eating short ribs once in a while does not make her a hypocrite.Nor does it make her wrong that kids should eat healthy food. So what if someone took a picture of her eating short ribs. If she was eating unhealthy food every day then she would be a hypocrite. Going around nitpicking over her eating short ribs and going Moochelle like a immature elementary school kid only makes you look like a partisan hack.

However, she is seen eating unhealthy food fairly often.

Partisan hack for which party? I am an independent. I just do not like nanny state government. I don't think the feds should have any influence on school lunches.

A handful of incidences doesn't mean squat.

Of course you are, that is why you use the term Moochelle multiple times in this thread.

You do realize the government is the one ordering the school lunches?

Apparently not all kids are spoiled brats whose parents let them eat what ever they want and many other kids do like healthier food.

Study Finds Elementary Students Like New Healthier Lunches - WSJ
When the federal government implemented new school-meal regulations in 2012, a majority of elementary-school students complained about the healthier lunches, but by the end of the school year most found the food agreeable, according to survey results released Monday.
The peer-reviewed study comes amid concerns that the regulations led schools to throw away more uneaten food and prompted some students to drop out of meal programs.
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago surveyed administrators at more than 500 primary schools about student reaction to the new meals in the 2012-2013 school year. They found that 70% agreed or strongly agreed that students, by the end of the school year, generally liked the new lunches, which feature more whole grains, vegetables and fruits, and lower fat levels.

Those kids are being put in an environment were they feel its better. its not better, it sucked, and it used to be better in the past. We actually got fed.

I'm sure you can cut and paste sections of Einstein's theory of general relativity, too, but like that definition, but I'm equally sure you can't comprehend it.

:shrug: I'm not the one telling a whole lot of people that my skills are superior to theirs. I'm just telling one individual who also happens to be telling everyone else that his reading comprehension is superior to everyone else's.


I don't expect you to understand what this fact implies, because I'm fairly certain at this point that you fail to comprehend the Dunning-Kruger effect adequately either, but the fact of the matter her is that one of us is assuming himself to be average competence while the other is assuming above average competence.

Now what do you think the dunning-kruger effect tells us about this particular phenomenon?
 
What a thread. We have to put food in our schools, its been **** food for decades, someone suggests we start providing healthier lunches and that becomes a political fight too!

You didn't answer my question, but perhaps you didn't see it. I'll repost it:

I'm at my ideal bmi (give or take a pound) and like to have pizza and ice cream on occasion. My regular M.O. is to watch my calories and exercise regularly. Am I a hypocrite?

And btw, pointing out that you are wrong is not claiming superiority. That is what you have been trying to do with your ignorant attacks.
