Outrage After School Tells Mom Her Child’s Lunch Is Unhealthy and Unacceptable A mother is outraged after school officials told her 4-year-old daughter that her home-packed lunch was not healthy enough to eat. What was so unhealthy about her lunch? Trace Gallagher reported that a lunch inspector at the school told the girl she couldn’t eat her turkey sandwich, banana, potato chips and apple juice. Instead providing the girl with a USDA-approved lunch with the following guidelines: one serving of meat, one serving of grains, and two servings of fruit or vegetables. When the girl returned home from school, her unopened lunch contained a note from the school saying that her lunch didn’t meet the guidelines and a $1.25 bill for the replacement lunch. The mom was outraged and anonymously wrote to the local newspaper and called a state representative. The North Carolina representative called the school which apologized, because in fact the lunch did meet all the USDA requirements. In her statement to the newspaper, the mother argues that the issue isn’t whether the lunch meets any requirements but rather says, “Don’t tell my kid I’m not packing her lunchbox properly. I pack her lunchbox according to what she eats.” Tell me what you think! Do schools have the right to tell parents what is or isn’t healthy enough for their children’s lunches?

"Lunch Inspector"? Good heavens. I swear sometimes all you can do is shake your head. I'd be standing in that lunch line with my kid the next day and give the "lunch inspector" something to chew on! Just because you have silenced a man does not mean you have changed his mind.

Another case of "How did we ever make it growing up when we were kids." The foods we ate long ago would cause the liberal people nowadays to feint. Here's what I know my mom would have done. She would have drove to the school faster than Richard Petty and gave someone a good cussing. ~     ~

Grrrr. And it is only going to get worse.  Remember, only you can make the choice of how YOUR song is written, and give that song a voice.

Every aspect of your life seems to be monitored to standards that someone wants to impose on you. Isn't this what busted the USSR? "If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost; you can still call him vile names."
