A perfect example of the ruling class's detachment from the peasants

  Nothing exemplifies progressive privilege more than these articles.
  Public school kids are expected to eat this as an approved lunch by Michelle Obama "healthy lunch":
And this:
 
While the Obama young ladies eat this:
 ...choosing from a menu that includes freshly baked muffins, chilled blueberry soup and tuna nicoise salad.
  Sidwell Friends' tuition runs around $36,000 yearly for each student. They're so patriotic at SF that on "Pearl Harbor Day," Sidwell Friends had Japanese food (???).
  It's probably not necessary to point out that public school students are rebelling against Michelle Obama's lunch menu restrictions including calorie cutting. One might guess there are no such restrictive calorie limitations on Sidwell Friends' meatballs.
  Michelle has gone on the offensive to preserve her public school restrictions, ruling that it's "unacceptable" to tinker with her masterpiece, with fan Carol Costello even claiming that Mrs. Obama herself has the right to write law, saying Michelle Obama “signed the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act into law."
  Is this not an excellent example of the detachment of the country's elite "let 'em eat cake" mentality regarding most of us out here?
  Do these people who fly their private jets around the world for vacations and even bump the public from first class at the last minute for their own convenience have any understanding what it's like to be a peasant, particularly a sick one who is subject to the ruling class's whims and bonuses extracted from the budget?
  Kids aren't eating it. They throw it out. They don't buy it. It's too expensive for public schools.
  And you can guarandamntee it that some kids are making lots of dough selling contraband chocolate bars in the hall.
  Michelle Obama calls making changes to her restrictive lunch menus "playing politics."
  Out here, we call it survival.
