“Incensed” would be too mild a word to express my feelings about an administration that would roll back legislation requiring healthy ingredients in school lunches and replace them with less expensive, high-fat, high-sugar and salt-filled products. But the real kicker is the date chosen to make this announcement: Jan. 17, Michelle Obama’s birthday. I hope the American public can recognize how flawed a personality must be to take such an action and time it to be an insult. Insecure, jealous, intentionally mean-spirited and lacking maturity. This is the behavior of the leader of our nation?
