The Obama administration's interference with the school lunch options for millions of children was one of its least popular programs.
Michelle Obama's objectives for better nutrition were admirable, but children detested it and schools found it invasive, costly, and difficult to implement.
As a result, millions more pounds of food are wasted annually, schools are forced to pay more, and student-athletes are unable to satisfy their higher calorie requirements.
The new guidelines were so despised by students throughout the country that they posted pictures of disgusting food trays on social media.
The Michelle Obama-backed school nutrition guidelines that her husband signed into law have long been the subject of debate.
According to studies, other than the fact that more kids were coming home hungry at the end of the day, the new laws did not affect the health of the kids.
Shortly after assuming office, Perdue vowed to eliminate the requirements that called for feeding more nutritious grains, fruits, and vegetables to reduce kid obesity.
He claimed that as a result, students now just skip meals.
In a 2017 statement, Perdue stated that "if kids aren't eating the food and it's ending up in the garbage, they aren't getting any nutrition—thus undercutting the aim of the program."
