Obama School Lunch Program: ‘We Are Hungry’ Parody Goes Viral, Students Protest Policy (VIDEO)

A new video has gone viral, and it is condemning the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 that has been largely pushed by First Lady Michelle Obama.

The new lunch program went into effect in August, and while it has raised the value of a school lunch from .20 to .25 cents, a number of children appear to be unhappy with their new meals.

The new plan was intended to “[increase] the availability of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in the school menu,” according to the program regulations. Caloric limits were also set to “ensure age-appropriate meals for grades K-5 (650 cal limit), 6-8 (700 cal limit), and 9-12 (850 cal limit).”

…But parents and students have complained that their children are still hungry. Student athletes, in particular, state that they burn too many calories to be limited to so few.

“A lot of us are starting to get hungry even before the practice begins,” Mukwonago High senior Nick Blohm told The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “Our metabolisms are all sped up.”
