Think again. They just garnered a new enemy – The White House.
It comes in the form of the awesome school lunch program implemented by First Lady, Michelle Obama.
Once again the ambassadors of the best chicken sandwich you’ll ever have are under the cross hairs affecting their bottom line.
According to new regulations, snack foods served in public schools are required to have less than two hundred calories. This even includes food from vending machines, lunch rooms and other campus food venues.
Less than 200 calories? So kids will just eat more, and get the same amount of calories.
This spells bad news for students at South Carolina’s Socastee High School. The bad news has just been broke to them that Chick-fil-A will no longer be sold on their campus.
Not only was this a great way for the students to get real, and tasty food, but sales of the sandwiches also went toward funding school trips.
“The Chick-fil-A profits went directly to the field trips…We’ve got to raise some money, but we will figure something out.” Says the school principal.
Like most things implemented by the Obama administration, this new lunch program as well, has been met with much resistance. Many schools are flat out rejecting the new meal plan standards, despite legally having to adhere to the new law.
