Michelle Obama faults Donald Trump school meals policy

Michelle Obama fiercely defended the healthy eating initiatives she championed as first lady. At a public health summit in Washington, she slammed the Trump administration’s loosened nutritional standards aimed at making US school lunches healthier.

“Think about why someone is ok with your kids eating crap,” she said. In a thinly-veiled criticism of the policies of the new administration, she told the audience: “This is where you really have to look at motives, you know. You have to stop and think, why don’t you want our kids to have good food at school? And why is that a partisan issue? Why would that be political? What is going on?” She added: “Like me or don’t like me. But think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.
