Michelle Obama's School Lunch Program: $4 Million of Food Thrown in Trash Each Day

Michelle Obama's School Lunch Program: $4 Million of Food Thrown in Trash Each Day: "We don't want to have the most nutritious waste basket in the state or the country."

An investigative report by a Cincinnati TV station finds that the government's new school lunch requirements championed by First Lady Michelle Obama are wasting $4 million a day in discarded food that children won't eat.

The National School Lunch Program feeds upwards to 31 million American students a day, spending nearly $12 billion annually, but many of those children are throwing away the vegetables, fruits, and snacks forced on them by the new federal nutrition standards.
