Nice to see this unraveling - time to get back to normal

Medical Daily:
Unpopular Healthy School Lunch Rules Loosened Permanently
In a reversal, the Obama administration on Thursday announced they would permanently relax unpopular nutrition rules for the federal school lunch program. The rules were intended to fight childhood obesity by lowering calories and portion sizes, but proved wildly unpopular with students and parents throughout the country.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) initially loosened the regulations in late 2012 by suspending daily and weekly portion limits for grains, meat, and meat alternatives � permitting school districts to rejigger portion sizes without federal overrule.
A bit more:
The regulatory scheme had drawn protest from not only political conservatives wary of federal oversight but parents and children alike, who complained the lower-calorie meals left children hungry and unsatisfied. In many school across the country, lunches deemed unpalatable by children were thrown uneaten into the trash.
Nice to see Michelle's master plan being shot down. Another perfect example of being out of touch with reality.
