Hey, most of the parents probably think it's the oil in the fried potatoes and not the potato itself.

We are talking scientific facts here, not parental versus bureaucratic rights.

Last night we were debating a situation where the parents who belong to a non-doctor cult had decided to pull their daughter away from medical treatment before it was completed. We had people in here arguing the inalienable right of parents to do just that ~ . Interestingly enough they did not argue outright that the parents had the inalienable right to kill the kids, but I think that was simply out of politeness.

When it comes to eating starches, it's time to cut back in the school lunches. The kids need more protein and Omega 3 fat.

Texas also needs a new Agricultural Commissioner who is educated in the field to which she is assigned.

I am wonder why my generation (1970's), and all the ones before it, didn't have a problem with good old fashioned school lunches. They didn't create obesity, diabetes, or any other ailments in the population.

I can't remember any debates about Omega 3.

I can't say I agree with this amount of interference in something like a school lunch.

Bull. ALL issues are ones of liberty vs. central control. Whether the state is right on the merits of the issue or not, this issue is not within their mandate.

Out of 12,000 border guards, not a single one has caught a terrorist. Out of nearly 200 criminal cases related to terrorism since 9/11, not one single defendant was a border jumper.

Texas needs to stay out of peoples lives. It isn't up to the state of texas to tell people how their children should eat. If school lunches don't meet parents standards they can send the child to school with a bag lunch. We don't need food police. Parents rights override states interference and I am sorry to see you don't agree. Get the government out of our lives, don't give them more control.
