Gotta love the nanny state. Next thing will be to put the kids who throw their veggies away in detention. Then charge the parents with abuse if their kids can't stand the school lunches.

Good thing they will give away free abortions, though.

Why do they have to have a camera to record what’s being thrown away?

Apparently it hasn’t occurred to them to just look in the can and see what’s there. If necessary, they can write it down.

Perhaps the district superintendent has a brother-in-law who sells cameras.

"No decisions have been made on the cameras, but school leaders say they wouldn't capture students faces, just what they're throwing away"

Couldn't you just look in the trash can and figure that out? If not to identify which students are tossing away produce, then what concievable use could these trash-cams accomplish.

They just couldn’t look into the trash can and make a rational opinion? How bizarre.

School cafeteria veggies are usually boiled to mush and get worse sitting on steam tables.

Throwing veggies away is a waste of taxpayer money and yet purchasing expensive video cameras is not?

This is doubling down on stupid.

The most basic rule of child nutrition: If the kid can't or won't eat it, the sum total nutritional value is ZERO!

"It's a big issue, and it's very hard to get our hands around it," said School Board member Todd Howard, who suggested "trash-cams." "They have to take (the vegetable), and then it ends up in the trash can, and that's a waste of taxpayer money. It's also not giving students the nutrition that they need."

Hard to understand? I see a grant opportunity here. I think I'll type up a proposal for a multi-year international comparative study on why kids throw away cafeteria vegetables. Should be worth a couple of million.

This is an ancient issues: should schools feed kids what they WILL eat, or what they SHOULD eat (but will, in fact, throw away). There have always been Brunhilde-type cafeteria ladies trying to force feed the veggies. The only thing different now is that we have a busybody, reflexively coercive regime in DC that is trying to impose compliance by imperial edict.

At the school where I work, I LOVE the food. To me, it’s healthy, nutritious, and actually a bit tasty. Problem is, I’m a middle-aged man who doesn’t mind vegetables and baked potato wedges. On the other hand, the only time the kids eat what’s on their plate is when they have Pizza, chicken nuggets, or hamburgers.

Lake County School Board officials are considering attaching cameras to school cafeteria trash cans to study what students are tossing after officials found that most of the vegetables on the school menu end up in the trash can.

They know *what* the students are tossing, so this must be to discover *which* students are doing the tossing. That way they can either control and intimidate through fear, or collect fines for the inevitable non-compliance. The fines will be justified by claiming that they will fund further "healthy eating" programs... for the children.

Never in a million years will it occur to these statists that their idiotic program is the problem. Oh no, the problem is that it just hasn't been implemented properly (with enough force).

The hammer will really come down after the carrot-tossers figure out how to dispose of the vegetables by other means. I suspect that clogged toilets are going to become commonplace in this school. Expect the sewer of the spiritual realm to manifest on the physical plane.

This just shows how important it is for Conservatives to start to infiltrate the educational establishment and reclaim it. We need to start to inculcate our values back into the educational curriculum. The left is too close to a monopoly on this.

RUSH is ALWAYS right... he has said for many years... give them an inch and they will eventually control your every move... every facet of your life... and they will use food to control what you buy and how you eat etc. Revolution is brewing... a Tax Payer revolt of non violent nature... AMERICANS will go on strike! Not now... no will to do so but it is coming. The DHS cannot be defeated without the Rangers and Marines so it is the only solution... or we split apart... and I can live with that also.

“School Board member Todd Howard” either has failed to read Orwell or believes it is a how-to manual.

BS, BS, BS, BS, BS !!!
If they want to see what’s being thrown away, then the administrators just need to dislodge their fat butts from their comfy arm chairs and actually walk to the trash cans and look in. Having a camera for the express purpose of not leaving their desk is a grossly wasteful indulgence.

Here is a news flash. Don’t serve lunches.
Let MAMA make some sandwich for junior to
take to school and if she makes something
he doesn’t like the choice is then his to
either eat it, throw it away, or make it
himself. Let the food stamp program make
the lunch.

There problem solved and money on cameras
saved.

I’ve got a novel idea.. it’s so simple they won’t do it.

Don’t force the kids to take something they won’t eat. Thus, with in a week or two you will have a good idea of how much to cook up to serve the kids that want it.
