I’d tell them to drop dead.
When I was a kid, school lunch was literally barf inducing. I had to bring my lunch in order to be able to have something that I could eat.
My grand daughter hated school lunches. She was so crabby that the teachers requested that she start bringing her own lunch. We haven’t heard anything about any changes here.
Attack the messenger is right, when the messenger complains rather than acts.
The answer is simple: take the kid out of public school and home school. Don’t subject them to a regime that is so controlling. I home schooled.
Don’t you see that her ranting is silly? Action is what is required.
They’re no more concerned about “farmers” than they are about “women” or “minorities”; the’re no more than an excuse for more government.
It’s highly relevant to the thread.
It demonstrates through first-hand testimony that parents are generally fully-competent at feeding their own children; this article documents the prohibition of said activity.
Well, I was with her until she went off into the rant about all the supposed poisons in the food. GMO? Everything we eat is GMO. Pesticides? Plants and the bacteria on plants produce those. Hormone-laden meat and dairy? That’s pretty much all meat and dairy.
There are plenty of valid reasons to prefer to pack your kid’s lunch—you don’t have to spout pseudoscience to justify your choice.
The time approaches when parents will have to march on school boards and yank the members from their positions. Plan on it.
The Dept of Agriculture should get the institutional death penalty.
Certainly the framers were familiar with the concept of Agriculture. Congress has no constitutional power to regulate agriculture.
Shut it down. Fire the employees, with prejudice.
Because bananas, not grown in the US, can be sold for less than apples that are grown in the US.
At least until the next fungus kills the Cavendish bananas like it did the Gros Michael before it.
Amen bro.
I have no mercy for the voters in any district who fall prey to this crap.
And if you didn't vote for them, to bad, it's your crap too. SUCKERS!
The best response to this is a letter from your lawyer that reminds the school officials that under Title 42 section 1983 of US Federal law, they can be held personally liable for the denial of rights under the color of law and/or office.
And don’t drive ur kid to school
“...Not everyone qualifies for free lunches.”
That’s the point ... they don’t care, it’s the control. In our locality they don’t even check. Just come in and state what your income is and you get subsidized or free breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and packs to cover the weekends. You can’t have some kid come in with a ham and cheese tomato lettuce sandwich with a snickerdoodle and banana next to kids stuck with Crap by Moo.
If you refuse to adhere to this mandate by the school and its handler, your government, what could they possibly do to you or your child if they did bring a sack lunch to school, ignoring this assinine order...
Suspension??? Send your child toan alternatie school??? get some of their peers to bully them into compliance???
All iof which are things they might do to your child, because YOU did not comply with these instruction...
Now, what is your line in the sand here???
How far are YOU willing to go, and how far are you willing to let your kid put up with the harrassment while you are working yer azz off, makig a living and trusting the “system” to just simply teach your child the basics???
The problem is a lot bigger than your average school district, or state educational system...
Might as well make a stand while you still can...
No, it’s not relevant.
Look, I realize that there are a lot of lonely narcissists who have no one to talk to out there. There’s no reason they need to come here and clog up the discussion.
—The point is that most of us born in the forties ate what our parents gave us. We survived and thrived without government control or provisions.
That needs to be remembered and many people born in the 1970s and after have not experienced anything except ever-growing governmental overreach and coercion.—
Riiiiiight, because there was NO massively intrusive federal government or corruption in the 1940s/50s!
This is why the right can never win a political argument. Half of its adherents or more lack a basic factual background.
Not as massive as today, by a long shot. We had privacy, individual rights and personal freedom. We had a pervading sense of no limits on our personal success. Even sympathizers didn’t openly laud communists or fascists.
If anyone could have seen today’s Drudge back in 1950, it would be impossible to convince them that this was going to be their future.
I guess you would have had to have been there.
