Right and caught a food fight students across the country are rebelling.

Against the government's recent crackdown on high calorie school lunches new guidelines mandate at maximum.

850 calories for high schoolers and even less for kids in middle school and elementary school.

Used to be a minimum around the same number not the Obama administration is working to quiet the backlash by adding.

A snack program but is that enough joining us is the founder.

Regular folks united and it concerned parents Lori Roman -- when -- you.

-- morning mom used to know best no longer -- how are these new guidelines going over.

Playwright mother knows best has been replaced with federal government knows best and moms across the country.

Are noticing thanks to the kids and then doing videos and complaining about their lunches.

And when you complain we're going to make a completely.

Nonsensical argument that now you need to packaged snack.

This is the problem when the federal government gets involved at this local level.

And I think this is -- you see moms and -- pushing back what mom and dad supposed to do when they -- it comes from the federal government and they kink into school board and complained they -- -- their -- Truman -- where it's less than others was a common -- Obama on the phone and say we don't like what you did not only is there really are trying their -- thank you very much slower to Republican congressman trying to repeal the standard by the way -- -- for being with the story for fox.
