It would actually be one of the better investments we could make, and it also poses beneficial incentives. It's not as if it isn't done elsewhere either.
One problem is that if you are a healthy growing kid you need a lot more than Michelle's lunch. Another problem is that the school lunch isn't causing fat kids. It's what they eat the other 23 hours a day. The parents are fat and don't exercise and the odds are that their kids are fat. Another problem is that I'm not all that interested in buying another kid's lunch and I'm sure some retired couple who took care of their kids wouldn't have been all that interested in buying my kids' lunch. In case you haven't noticed is that involving big government isn't actually solving any problems it's just making them worse.
The move is sort of punitive health care premium insurance program. Have everyone start out at the same crazy high rate. Then you go get a physical with bloodwork and it goes down 50%. Goes down another 50% if you have a decent BMI. If you are classified as a fatty you can lower your premiums significantly by showing improvement. It's the only way to get people less fat. Obviously won't happen though.
Give the fats the lowest level of government Healthcare for free.
Have group insurance renewals impact individual premiums within the group for obese people. Similar to how age banded insurance works where gramps pays 4k for the family plan and the 30 year old pays 1500/month
Or start your own insurance company that requires extremely good health to join with Low rates and recruit them out of normal plans. It also isolates the fatties in their kennel and where they have to subsidize even fatter people than them. Indirect method of my original plan.

Michelle's top down bullshit is a complete joke. Ask any educator that has to stock for it.
Same as most liberal policies, sounds nice but full of perverse incentives and fuckups that don't work "in the weeds".
The dazzler upvote kiss of death should be the tell.

Much like all the "ending homelessness" investments the results on the ground have no correlation to the nice sounding "investments" proposed.
It just ends up being different unhealthy options that are harder to stock and are more expensive.
Feel free to show where the policy made a statistically relevant impact on childhood obesity or health though.
This is true, however Americans have the choice to say no to buying foods with such chemicals which would force the companies to alter their recipe.
Dazzler gonna dazzle
sure, but when it’s like 70+ percent it’s systemic. Like even if true its irrelevant once the percentages are this high
Fatties gonna fat
That’s a start. Good luck the rest of the way.

I really should become a dictator.
My policy is simple: no fat chicks

Something like this would be fucking amazing and would be the kick in the ass this country needs
Easily yvbe
Discrimination by weight. Probably unconstitutional.
With bacon
Meh. Overweight people are even more of a burden than covid was on the Healthcare system
And it's private Healthcare. Premiums discriminate for all sorts of reasons
Overweight people were 75% of the justification for all the covid policies, if not more.
Yeah it’s higher.
Obamacare destroyed private insurance by design
Government insurance requires everyone and everything to be covered so eventually nothing gets covered
