“We Are Hungry”

First Lady Michelle Obama, Administration Officials and Let’s Move! advocates reaffirm commitment to raise a healthier generation of kids.

But kids say their message has not been addressed in the media. They are excited about being offered more healthy fruits and vegetables. We feel the protein and carbohydrate limitations, 10-12 ounces a week,are not enough fuel for our average very active student. Most students have a weights class and compete in sports. We see a problem with a one size fits all programs that only are meant to target the overweight student, not the average student as deemed by local governing boards.

Here’s a parody created by students on the national school lunch policy mandated by The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 which humorously shows the results of the limitations in carbohydrates and proteins. To see media reaction to "We Are Hungry" and the Health, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.
