The rolling back of school lunch regs championed by former First Lady Michelle Obama includes a change in what kinds of milk is allowed:
Chocolate milk with 1% fat will soon be back on public school lunch menus as Trump administration eases nutritional standards put in place under President Obama. https://t.co/pKrHJ94sW8

Vox is among the alarmed by all that’s going on:
Apparently "making school meals great again" means relaxing nutrition standards for federally subsidized school lunch programs. https://t.co/OeyQ0Y82pk

Mark Hemginway made a safe prediction was made as to what the reaction from The Resistance might be:

Ha! That’s not far from what happened.
Omg the replies act as if Trump is mandating rat poison be used in school lunches https://t.co/SYxuuaFFu9

It may not seem that important, but loosening health standards for schools won't be good for developing minds. Michelle Obama probably will not be happy. #stratcomm2321 https://t.co/g00gXTVv0b

I was missing all the fat kids with tooth decay in school. This is good news. We don't want our children to be healthy when they can have fast food in school like the President does in Airforce one.

Another way to cancel an Obama initiative. This time, Michelle's effort to reduce childhood obesity/improve wellness. Sad

I will never understand how it is too challenging to order nonfat flavored milk but ordering 1% flavored milk is fine. This is a senseless revision of a rule that was already working. https://t.co/TjV2lCL5Dn

Chocolate milk OK, chocolate colored people not so much.

But of course not everybody agreed that the Trump administration’s move on school lunches is horrible:

When what your child has to eat at school depends on who's President, you have too much federal government.

In 2015, Michelle Obama said kids would “eventually” embrace her school lunch guidelines. That never happened.
