Beware the School Lunch Food Police...

wait wait wait wait wait .... Can I have fries with that?


Chicken fucking nuggets!? what kind of bullshit is that... give her a carrot and be done with it for fuck sakes...

 

here is more on this "nanny"-state law:
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/n-c...ome-after-determining-its-not-healthy-enough/

this is subjugation, pure and simple, ...do as nanny says, your children belong to us when in our institution... and public schools wonder why the get such a bad rap... this should be a national outrage...
​

 

That should say: "... USDA recommendations...". The verbiage in the quote says "USDA requirements", not sure why anyone would fall for that one if it concerns food brought in by the student.

 

GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO STAY OUT OF OUR SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
soon gas will be $5 a gallon with our disaster of a president Obama.

 

That's why Ron Paul!

 

Explain to me how this is a Federal issue and not a state one again? oh, that's right, it isn't. Carry on, reactionary...

Again, state issue.

Ignorance.

Wow! Someone read the article! +1 for you!

LOL wut?

What does school lunch nutrition guidelines and overzealous school officials have in any way to do with free-market gas prices? For fuck's sake, man.

But kudos to you for using this thread to completely disregard the site Code of Conduct and spout your own political ignorance. Congrats sir.

 

If that were my kid, I'd want a name. Then I'd go to that individuals house, MAKE them let me in and return the favor by throwing out everything in their fridge that I don't care for.
Man this gov. shit just pisses me off!

 

Yeah, that's not Forced Entry or anything....

I hope you like state-controlled meals. I hear the prison serves some good stuff -- and it follows USDA guidelines!

 

Of course I really wouldn't do it, but ya gotta vent.......

 

The thing that bothers me the most is how that little girl must have felt. I have a 5 year old, and if some "authority figure" pulled something like this I can't imagine how embarrassed and terrified she would feel. Plus she'd be scared to go back to school.

 

It's cool. I understand ya.

I'd be pretty pissed too if it happened to my kid.

 

This is the real tragedy.

But instead of parents coming together and approaching the school with calm rationale and expectations about their children's care and education, people feel it's necessary make alarmist claims and blame the Federal level which had nothing to do with it.

It must be extremely tiring for some people on this board to carry around all that hate on a daily basis.

 

I love living in Wyoming. None of this stupid shit happens. But don't move here, I don't want any more people .

hey that's my word

...but i say, what exactly is "alarmist" about the fact that state "agents" are opening and inspecting kids lunch boxes?... did the 4th amendment get repealed while i was asleep?...

 

alot of this does have to do with the federal govt and the president because the presidents wife got alot of shit doen at the national level for better school lunches so states are following suite. to think this is just a localized event at some podunk school in backwoods NC is just dumb. the federal govt is pushing these healthier standards of eating on everything.

 

No, it's still in effect.

Sometimes the way you word your threads and/or posts lends to sensationalism as opposed to rationality. Example:

"Beware the School Lunch Food Police...."

VS.

"NC School Program Receives Complaints About Unnecessary Searches."

The former is geared toward grabbing the lowest-common-denominator (which you seem to have achieved). Now, Tacoma World isn't an accredited news platform, so you are free to posts as you please, but one child having her lunch box searched (along with no mention of any follow-up decisions or information) is hardly concern for mass panic and visions of jack-booted thugs tearing through doe-eyed kids' brown bags to make sure they have their daily allotments of vitamin C - else they get the whip and a serving of Soylent Green.

Everyone is so quick to see a so-called "intrusion" on rights that they jump all over it and grab the pitchforks and torches before the issue even has a chance to be resolved. Especially on the Internet.

While it's nice that you bring attention to the plight of NC 4 year-olds, I'm sure that the good citizens of this school district already have the situation well under control.

 

kudos for being an expert on everything

 

lost,

do parents relinquish control of their offspring when they enter the institution?.... read the quote below, ..they were "checking" lunches (lunches being the plural form of the word lunch, ..meaning more than one girl) you see no harm here?, ..no foul?...

here is a quote from the blaze article:

...

and this:

 

I read the article, and yes, I was incorrect about the number of lunches searched.

I don't agree with the state of North Carolina "checking" lunches in the form of a "state inspector," per say. However, the citizens of North Carolina had to enacted this legislation somehow -- either through direct vote or the election of representatives.

I personally am unaware of how this mandate that every child in the program needs to have an approved lunch came to be. I'm assuming through some sort of vote, or negotiation with insurance companies, school districts, school councils, etc. So now the question becomes: Since the people who are sending their children to this program have mandated that their children receive adequate nutrition, how do they go about enforcing it?

In the case cited, it seems they appointed a "state inspector" to examine the lunches. While this is caustic, it seems to be the way that NC decided to go about enforcement. I would also assume that these policies are currently under review.

The point is that this isn't the work of some "nanny government" coming in to force-feed kids nutritional supplements. The mandates for nutrition had to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is the residents of the school districts and the State of North Carolina.

 

this is a well established trend of usurping control from parents... it's just that now it's coming to light in incidents like these that go viral... just because somebody voted this in, doesn't make it right, ...let alone constitutional...
