Beware the School Lunch Food Police...

vegetable? they didnt give her a slice of pizza?

 

This is our tax dollars hard at work.


SMH.

 

This hit the radio this morning up here... unreal. I'd be pretty pissed if I were that kid's parents. There's no reason for that.

 

Make no mistake there is a reason, it's to keep the tax payer dollars flowing to these programs and thereby continue to support government jobs and a way over bloated federal and sometimes state bureaucracies. The current Fed just doesn't get it, just this morning I heard on the radio that EVERY man, woman and child in America would have to pay $34000.00 (that's thirty four thousand dollars) to eliminate the federal debt. In case your wondering how many individuals that amounts to 311,800,000 in mid-2011 ( Three Hundred Eleven Million Eight Hundred Thousand people - not sure if this includes illegals) The math is freakin staggering. WAKE UP GREECE! - sorry I mean AMERICA!

Okover, I feel somewhat better now.
P.S. Glad my kids are grown and out of school - look out grandbabies.

 

mine and your tax dollars stay at work subsidizing most of folks in hoke county, nc.

 

Yes my tax dollers at work.Welcome to the Socialist States of America.Don't just look at the state levels.They did mention the full school lunch,if I were the parent there would be a visit to the school and the state inspector to see what they looked like if fat too much food no lunch for you. I understand Raeford Co. is very poor but there is no excuse for that action.

 

Maybe they should implement this in some of the upper levels of government like Congress or the Senate... Lots of fat politicians, maybe they should lead by example for a change

 

Exactly how were they able to search a student's personal property without a warrant? Were the parents present and gave permission for the search? Confused

 

did i hear free lunch? nom-nom!!

 

No, they're going to take your lunch and give you their crappy lunch AND make you pay for it

 

Unfortunately when you step on school grounds you give up a lot of those rights. They are able to search lockers and backpacks without a warrant so a lunch pale wouldn't be any different.

 

Searching a lunch pal is one thing... telling a kid that he can't eat what his parents provided for him and making him eat the school's lunches is way out of line in my opinion. It's not the school's place to make the determination. At best, I think the only thing they should do is send a letter home outlining their concerns with the child's lunch and let the parents decide how to react. Unless the kid doesn't have anything to eat, there's no reason to force them to eat the school's lunch.

 

i agree 100%. The school board would get a personal visit and some few choice words if that were to happen to my kid.

 

Processed chicken nuggets..that's pretty healthy stuff

 

Actually, pizza is one of the "healthy" food choices. The tomato sauce on the pizza is considered a vegetable under government guidelines.

 

What if the kid has a specific diet due to health concerns?

Its also funny how people blame things like this on the president when its clearly an individual's actions at or below the state level.

 

I'm glad I don't have kids and never will have to deal with stupid shit like this.

 

Pizza was not declared a "healthy" food choice. The tomato paste, often used on pizza, was declare equivalent to a serving of vegetables. It seems that, nutritionally, it is not too far off base.

Everyone knows that pizza is a stand-alone food group.
