Here’s Michelle Obama’s Response to a Letter From an Unhappy Second Grader About Her Ruining ‘Taco Tuesday’
After a second grader complained to First Lady Michelle Obama that she “ruined” Taco Tuesday with her healthy lunch rules, Trip Klibert has accepted the White House’s consolation: Bo and Sunny trading cards and a note from Mrs. Obama that said you’ll get used to it.
The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that Richard “Trip” Klibert, 7, wrote a letter to Mrs. Obama last November:
Dear Mrs. Obama,
Thank you for trying to make my school lunch better, but you have ruined Taco Tuesday. Please bring back the old taco shell. I miss them. Also, the pizza is terrible. If you would like to try the new tacos, I will buy you lunch.
Thank you,
Trip Klibert
Mrs. Obama replied to Klibert’s letter, along with “an autographed Obama family picture and trading cards of the family’s dogs.” She said that change is hard.
“In Obama’s letter, she explained that new child nutrition regulations were implemented as part of her “Let’s Move!” initiative started in 2010 to reduce childhood obesity,” the Times-Picayune reported. “The new regulations took effect in 2012 with the goal of including more whole grains, vegetables and fruits in school meals while reducing fat and sodium.” (Read more about the letter from the unhappy second grader HERE)
