The government controls what I eat

A new bill that was passed by congress on December 9 now doesn't allow schools to opt out of healthier school meal standards started by first lady Michelle Obama.  School directors have been trying to ease the standards that have been passed by saying the whole grain food is more expensive, harder to prepare, and that kids don't like the meals.  Another standard that is talked about in the bill is lowering the sodium in school lunches and meals.  A member of the American Heart Association CEO Nancy Brown said in an interview, 

"If Congress hits the pause button now on the sodium reduction, it's possible that more children could develop high blood pressure and be at risk for heart disease or stroke before they even become adults,"

Republicans have been fighting the bill saying that it is an going to far and overreaching the governments limit.  They argue that the bill will be to costly in the future and that kids will just end up throwing the food away. 

As a student that gets the school lunch I can honestly say that most students just end up throwing away the pieces of food that they don't like or end up not eating at all.  Certain items that they serve in the cafeteria for lunch are even a little to gross for me to eat, and I will eat anything... I think that it is absurd that the government is trying to control what I eat and what goes into MY body.  I am a athlete and in excellent shape so if I want to eat junk food I will.  Maybe instead of controlling and making students eat bad tasting food, maybe they should force them to play a school sport and get some activity.  That will solve all the problems.
