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.

DUH... you can make the little darlings take it, but you can;t make them eat it!!!

They want the kids to eat the veggies?

Then batter and deep fry them (the veggies, not the children). Almost all veggies taste better that way.

Until junior high school, I never had school cafeteria food. In jr. high, we went on the free lunch program... I have to say, the school food wasn’t very good at all. Why is there such a push to get more kids depending on that swill?

OMG, this has to be from the Onion.

When I was a girl, at dinner, I used to sneak food I didn’t like under the table to my dog (Thank you, Buffy, our Golden Retriever! LOL).

And as for the “it’s not giving our kids the nutrition they need” comment—what does he propose? Force feedings? IV tubes?

They complain about a “waste of taxpayer dollars”—what is more wasteful than a “trash-cam”?

Kids will be kids. Offer them choices, fresh air and exercise, and when they’re hungry enough, they’ll clean their plates.

in an effort to understand why kids are throwing away veggies and wasting money, the geniuses will spend more money to simply watch the kids throw away the first money ???

glad im not in the camera installation/replacement industry...sour lettuce reeks...

One step closer to force feeding

What a wonderful idea by these school administrators. Every year they will collect 1,000 hours of footage of food going into the trash can. Maybe they can creatively edit it, call it “Performance Art” and run a continuous loop on huge plasma monitors outside the school. They’re bound to win some prestigious academic award.

Individually RFID chip each meal. Each chip would be associated with the student’s ID card. Then scan the can for the readouts. Detention and re-education would follow.

Then a kid would invent an app for assigning a new number to the chip.

Maybe if the kids ate their veggies then throw up in the cafeteria trash can......

This is sooo funny, and takes me back to the days when I was in Elementary school 50 years ago.

We had the stereotypical evil lunch ladies, who made you take everything they dished out, then checked to make sure you ate at least some of every item. It didn’t take us long to figure ways around it. We stuffed uneaten food in napkins, or milk boxes.

The more things change the more they remain the same - - except that in our day there were real live consequences to breaking rules. Maybe that is the thing our children need more than any other thing.

"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."

Our Great Mother Moochelle will be pleased with this action.
