Allow schools to serve their own, not government standardized, lunches and teachers to bring in snacks for students.

Created by M.D. on February 23, 2013

This is a direct petition against Michelle Obama's school lunch program, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFK). Not only does this act infuriate the people it applies to, but it adds an extra $7 billion in spending on school lunches. Teachers are no longer allowed to bring in special treats for their students on days of celebration, or for any reason whatsoever. Besides the restrictions on what teachers are allowed to bring in, the lunch program underfeeds many students, doing the opposite of what is intended by this program. The "one-size-fits-all" idea is not accurate. From day 1 we are told that everyone is different. Though there are positives to this program, it is not completely effective. Do not implement programs that do not accomplish your goals. Revoke and revise this program.
