Woman Takes Epic Stand Against Michelle Obama, But Then Something Horrible Happens It is not secret that First Lady Michelle Obamas school lunch plans have been a nationwide failure. Now, schools throughout the country are looking for ways to escape the restrictions that are being imposed on them and costing them some serious dollars. According to reports, Prior Lake High School made the decision to drop the program after students petitioned against it in fall. Now, the school is being reprimanded for their actions, losing out on $170,000 in federal funding. Under the federal program, the serving sizes did not meet the needs of our students, Janeen Peterson, the districts Direct of Food Service, told reporters. Hopefully it will reduce some waste. Peterson maintains that dropping the program has benefitted the students, but it is not without cost. Without the proper funding, the school faces financial distress. To compensate, meal prices will be increasing from $2.45 to $2.95. Prior Lake isnt alone in their decision to drop the program despite punishments. Three other schools in Minnesota have left it, as well as more than 30 schools in Wisconsin and several other districts throughout the country. In fact, nearly 600 schools have opted out after complaints were filed. What do you think? Should the schools be punished for dropping out of a program that has proven both costly and ineffective?
