Jen Psaki is one of Obama’s Low Self Esteem brigade who gets paid to stand before the press and lie every day. I say low self esteem because she lies even when she knows it’s a bad lie…because it’s her job. Nobody with any sense of self-respect would carry on day after day like that, but Psaki...

An early Christmas present to the kids of Mendelein…

Another Chicagoland school district is throwing its students a bone – or at least larger lunch portions.
Mundelein High School District 120 is officially dropping out of the National School Lunch Program, making it at least the second one in the Chicago area to do so this school year.
Leaving the federal program allows the school “total flexibility to design the food service to our students’ needs,” Superintendent Kevin Myers tells the Daily Herald.
According to district leaders, lunch sales have fallen about 6 percent since last school year. The school has about 2,000 students enrolled.
Despite giving up the tighter “healthy” restrictions championed by First Lady Michelle Obama, the school will not be giving up on quality or the healthiness of lunches.
“Nutrition and good choices would also be a significant component of the wellness committee’s work,” business manager Andy Searle says. The committee with be tasked with creating new rules.
A major complaint was that portion sizes were too small, especially for high schoolers.
Searle hopes the increase in sales – and a slight increase in price – will offset the loss of federal subsidies, which is pegged at about $325,000, according to the paper.
Mundelein isn’t along in ditching the program. Other Chicago-area districts include Stevenson District 125, Maine District 207 and Glenbrook District 225.
Arlington Heights-based Northwest Suburban High School District 214 left after hummus was deemed too fatty and pretzels were too salty. Even hard-boiled eggs and yogurt don’t make the cut.
It is, of course, worth noting that Michelle Obama’s own children do not go to school in a place that abides by her lunch rules.
