Worse than that. To conclude that lunches are sub par, they have to be searching the lunches of students. Authority?
Have the kids eat off campus.
I swear, if that were my child, someone would get fired. And if I was ignored, there would be an unfortunate accident in someone’s future.
There is little that fires me up like a two bit bureaucrat abusing his or her power.
I have four chilren and I made a practice of having lunch with them in elementary school. The truth is kids pitch the healthy stuff on their tray in the garbage and just eat dessert. Getting children to eat what’s good for them at home is a struggle-when they’re at school, it’s a lost cause. Go to a school cafeteria and look in the garbage cans-it’s enlightening.
It’s not the Nanny State but the Food Nazis that are up to no good again!
NO BROWN BAG LUNCH FOR YOU!!!!
I remember a grade school teacher sent me back to my desk to finish a really distasteful school “lunch” I didn’t want it, it was gross to me, and finally she gave up and spend a good part of the afternoon ridiculing me in front of classmates.
Next day Mom was waiting outside the room when teacher reported for duty. Needless to say, Mom won.
I feel pretty sure the whole idea is to do away with the homemade lunch so all the little robots eat the same thing.
America was Grounded On Experience & Reason; a people who had built local communities from the ground up, literally from scratch. They understood that what works best in every area of human social concern, is that which maximizes personal, individual responsibility. Parents, not the State, not a distant bureaucracy; not busy bodies with political connections in far off places; the parents, were responsible for their children's care & well being; their food, shelter & raiment.
This is not only insulting to the people in this school district. It is teaching a terrible--terribly unamerican--lesson to these children. But, then, perhaps that is actually the intent. We are no longer on the same page as to what fundamental principles we support.

“we” have given the federal government a free hand to be tyrants in the name of “health”.
Now we live in a tyranny.

What if the girl had food allergies? Also the inspector had no idea if at dinner time mom piled the veggies on the child’s plate and the child ate every last bite.
Also the inspector seems woefully ignorant of nutrition. Since when are chicken nuggets regarded as more healthful than turkey and cheese?
The inspection of school lunch systems should consist of making sure the food is prepared in a sanitary manner, that the correct proportions are being served and that there are no obvious financial sheninigans. Policing what student’s eat is way beyond the scope of the job. The only policing that should occur is to take note of what foods from the school lunch end up in the garbage most often.
That happens to my child and I would esplode all over that public screwell.
So when my kid was in the first grade, we had to pack a snack for them to eat before lunch. I was not into snacks in my house. We pretty much waited meal to meal to eat and the meals were plenty to make it through the day. He always had a good breakfast before school and did not need a morning snack before lunch.
So I struggled to pack that snack. Most kids ate chips or cookies...we did not do that in our family and I did not want junk food around. I packed fruit and veggies but my son complained because everyone else was eating “good stuff” and he was stuck with healthy stuff. So I took half a peanut butter and banana (or apples, pears, etc.) sandwich and cut it into bite sized squares for him to have at snack time and that pleased him. Kids approved of his snack. I gave him the other half of his sandwich for lunch.
The dummy teacher yelled at me for giving him “lunch” at snack time and I told her to stop stuffing the children and wait for lunch for them to eat like normal people. :)
This is scary!
This sure seems like government fines and fees without due process. The State wants to sell lunches so they are deeming parent provided lunches as illegal and substituting State lunches for a fee.
