Whether you care for the president of the United States or not, at some point since 2008, you’ve most likely said “Thanks, Obama” when trying to find someone to blame for a problem. It doesn’t matter if you’re saying it ironically or if you actually hate the guy-you’ve definitely said it at some point. However, when it comes to saying “Thanks, Obama,” it seems like the buck truly doesn’t stop with the president, but rather, the first lady as well.
That’s right, Mobama’s catching some flak, too, over her school lunch program initiatives. Kids are pretty pissed off about their limited menu options and rather unappetizing lunches, and since this is 2014, they’re tweeting pictures of their lunches out to the world, with the hashtag #ThanksMichelleObama.
Check out this amorphous blob that looks like sorority girl vomit, which is supposed to be Spanish rice.
Had a very #healthylunch today. The apple definitely made up for the "mystery mush" #ThanksMichelleObama pic.twitter.com/RWCnQRCxJK

This blob is apparently baked beans.

The government somehow managed to ruin chicken finger day. You heartless bastards!

If this macaroni and cheese could talk, it would say, “Please…kill me.”

Hey, kids, the food isn’t great, but at least it’s pre-chewed. Less effort for you, eh? EH?

I mean, clearly there’s a case for entitlement here, considering that there are people complaining about school lunches while millions of kids all over the country starve every day. If you don’t like the school lunch, bring your own lunch. Slap some peanut butter and jelly on bread and eat like a king.
But still, this stuff is pretty damn gross. #ThanksMichelleObama, I guess?.

We had Chick-fil-a Tuesdays…until the peanut allergy girl RUINED IT.
Peanut girl is an idiot because the way they refine the oil breaks the allergen out of it. #science I mean I’m still alive
Now I hate her even more.
Anyone remember those rectangle pizzas that tasted like giant bagel bites? Those were the best.
Those were amazing, pizza day was by far the most anticipated of all grade school lunch days. It was replaced in high school by Philly cheesesteak Wednesday’s, those were glorious
In elementary school we had milk that came in sealed plastic bags… The chocolate one was pretty decent.
God help them.
School food was shitty long before Barack was elected. Stop whining and eat it, it builds character.
When I was in high school you could get a chicken sandwich, tater tots and a drink for $3.
And you had to walk 5 mile uphill both ways in a blizzard every day to get it too, dagnabbit!
Sort of true. But if you are defending the current monarchy, GFY.
