It’s currently one of the hottest trends on twitter. The #ThanksMichelleObama hashtag chronicles some of the interesting and at times, disgusting lunches kids are getting in their school cafeteria’s.
It’s part of the USDA‘s (US Department of Agriculture) new healthy eating guidelines headed by the first lady who has made it her mission to tackle obesity in children.
A USDA spokesperson told buzzfeed the students tweets”do not fully reflect the full range of choices students are provided.“
Alas, here are some of our favourites:
