Stop, Michelle Obama! The Children Are Hungry
Many high school students aren’t bowing down to the liberal government move to reduce lunch sizes at schools this year. Students are complaining and fighting back, which is their right and, I think, a good idea. The bad news is that the United States Department of Agriculture and First Lady Michelle Obama may put up a tough fight.
The high school students are complaining that their school lunches are just too small this school year, and they’re hungry. Complaints are being voiced throughout the country at the start of this new school year.

Video protests government calorie limits in school lunches
Some students are creatively criticizing the new lunch regulations in a protest video they made is going viral. The protest video called “We are Hungry,” borrows the hit song “We Are Young,” but wrote their own lyrics to give voice their complaints.
The YouTube video was produced by high school students and teachers in Kansas. It shows volleyball players collapsing and students stuffing their lockers with junk food. Their message: they’re hungry.
