But it is affecting school lunches. To avoid it parents have to make their kids’ lunch and pack them off with it. Even then in some areas the kids’ lunches are subject to inspection and confiscation.

How about instead of regulating kids’ meals to starve them she regulates the insurance and tort lawyer industries? Together they have collectively resulted in the elimination of recess and playground time at schools. When I was in elementary school we had a 30 min. playtime before the school opened, then a 30 min. recess at 10:30 then a 45 min. recess after lunch and if we wanted we could stay after school and play then too. That’s 1:45 mins of playtime per day with minimal supervision. Kids were allowed to sign out play equipment and we made our own games. Nowadays at the local elementary schools the kids are allowed 30 min.s of structured PE up to twice a week. The playground is miniscule and playtime is given as a reward to the Pre-K and Kindergarteners, maybe one day a week. And elementary kids aren’t allowed to right bikes to school either anymore.

This why kids are fat moochelle. Lawyers and insurance companies have together created excessive financial risk to schools and municipalities resulting in the banning of recess and playtime.

You know, in addition to the lack of play time the schools have also eliminated the education part too.

What a dismal failure our public schools have become. It’s so shameful.
