Students do not crave kale

Mrs. Obama wants to force the kids of America to eat kale. The government has actually changed the menus at schools across the country. Now, the kids of America are doing what the media and a lot of others are afraid to do. They're pushing back against the regime, chucking the kale, the egg plant and the black bean salad. At the cost of millions of our tax dollars.
Kale is cabbage. Just what all children crave.
Do we really need four more years of this overreaching? It's a perfect example of the liberal soft tyranny. The holier than thou notion that Michelle Obama knows what is best for our kids. These conceits are always disguised as well intentioned and they always turn out badly.
