Students at Kessler Elementary School on Fort Stewart enjoy a healthy lunch, Sept. 20. Kessler Elementary School has voluntarily taken on the HealthierUS School Challenge, a program established in 2004 that was designed to improve the health of the nation's children. First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" campaign brought HealthierUS to the forefront of health awareness for children.

Sometimes you just can’t make this stuff up …

All Detroit Public Schools students will receive free breakfast, lunch and snacks in an effort to remove the stigma of being from a low-income family …

“One of the primary goals of this program is to eliminate the stigma that students feel when they get a free lunch, as opposed to paying cash,” said DPS Chief Operating Officer Mark Schrupp. “Some students would skip important meals to avoid being identified as low-income. Now, all students will walk through a lunch line and not have to pay. Low-income students will not be easily identifiable and will be less likely to skip meals.”

Now this rant could go on for hours and hours.  Why don’t we just require everyone to drive the same car?  Maybe we should all live in houses that look alike.  And what’s with all of these stores in the malls selling expensive handbags to pretentious women.  What about the people who can’t afford the expensive cars, the nicer homes and their Louis Vitton (Lousy Vinyl) handbags?  They’re being identified as low-income.   The embarrassment from being identified as low-income causes these people to hide in their homes, thus being denied the opportunity to be full participants in our jobs markets!

Everyone must be the same!  That’s the road to the future!
