The title is misleading since Moose is only indirectly involved in what is a stupid school policy.
"The First Lady of these United States has declared war on Chick-fil-A.
It seems the home of plump juicy breasts and hot buttered buns has run afoul of the new Smart Snacks in School program. The program is a component of Mrs. Obama’s Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.
The new government regulations require snack items served in public schools to have less than two hundred calories. That includes vending machines, lunch rooms and other campus food venues.
And that’s really bad news for kids at South Carolina’s Socastee High School. They’ve just learned they will no longer be allowed to buy Chick-fil-A sandwiches at school.
“They don’t meet the standards,” Principal Paul Browning told the Myrtle Beach Sun News. “We’re struggling with it.”
Hunger pains aside, there’s another consequence to the Chick-fil-A ban – all the profits funded field trips for the school’s special education students.
“The Chick-fil-A profits went directly to the field trips,” the principal told the newspaper. “We’ve got to raise some money, but we will figure something out.”
Maybe they could get the math students to figure out how many carrot sticks they’ll have to sell to send the youngsters to Six Flags."
Precisely where did the Feds and the Moose get the power to tell local schools what they may or may not serve as snacks? And why the hell are the school authorities allowing them to do it? Dear God we have become a nation of wimps.

Not complete wimps, thank God. But why don't more, no all, school districts assert their independence and put Moose & Co. in detention?
"DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. – The Douglas County school board – known nationally for its independence and local control – has struck another blow for freedom.
The board voted unanimously to drop out of the National School Lunch Program and forgo the federal subsidies that brought a menu championed by Michelle Obama with them.
“This smacks of nanny state interference,” board president Kevin Larsen said of the federal regulations, according to The Colorado Observer. “Is the next step to start inspecting their bag lunches and start parenting instead of our parents parenting? Are they going to come and monitor your kitchen?”
“I don’t want to be the district that has the most nutritious waste baskets in the state,” said Larsen after a presentation by Director of Nutrition Service Brent Craig at Tuesday’s meeting. “There is a whole menu of things wrong with this program.”
Other board members were equally critical.
“We don’t typically like central planners here in Douglas County,” said board director Craig Richardson, according to the Observer. “There is a role for districts, parents, students, and school-based leaders to strike those balances and meet those unique needs on an individual basis.”"
I wish this hypocrite would just shut her piehold already. Every time I see her out with her daughters she stuffing her fat face with french fries or sucking down an ice cream cone.
Of course she is never called out on it by her slobbering enemedia sycophants.

Concentration Camp rations had more calories.
