All pike co. Students to receive free meals

Also I have talked to Wagner and Sabrina Thompson, more to most things than just what you read in a news release.

Seeing that my occupation involves around this whole issue, I can assure you that there is not more than meets the eye that gets printed in this news release. You dont want to admit (or possibly dont know what you are talking about) that it is a mandate that all school lunch programs have to all follow the SAME federal nutritional guidelines. By using your line of thinking you are saying that it's OK for Pikeville Independent to serve their kids junk, while Pike County will now be serving healthy foods. The reward for Pike Co. families is that they get their lunches free while Pikeville Independent families will be penalized and have to pay for them. Again Slamma Bamma all school districts have to follow the same nutritional guidlines. Hoot is absolutely right in how this whole thing came about. This is Michelle Obama's pet project. Just another socialist's plan to get our people hooked on yet another social handout program. In just a few years it will be thought of as another right of passage in this country. What a child does or does not do physically is just as much to blame for obesity than what they eat. I dont see that being addressed, do you?
