NC preschooler’s “unhealthy” lunch replaced with cafeteria nuggets

RAEFORD, N.C. — A Hoke County preschooler was fed chicken nuggets for lunch because a state worker felt that her homemade lunch did not have enough nutritional value, according to a report by the Carolina Journal.

The West Hoke Elementary School student was in her More at Four classroom when a state agent who was inspecting lunch boxes decided that her packed lunch — which consisted of a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, apple juice and potato chips — “did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines,” the Journal reports.

...

The student’s mother told the Journal she received a note from the school about the incident and was charged $1.25 for the cafeteria tray, from which her daughter only ate three chicken nuggets.

Don’t worry, I meant the “thanks” sincerely :)

I’m also glad to see that multiple sources are picking up the story.

At the next school board meeting I would be loud and specific as to where I would put their $1.25 ... they could select the board member to receive the $1.25.

I pinged out a similar thread about this topic. In that thread the FReepers got into a discussion of what chicken nuggets were made of and how they are made.

Not to long ago the food Nazis, at my grandson's elementary school in Florida made multiple insinuations that my daughter was not properly caring for him based on the lunches she packed. He had many problems, of which they were well aware, including issues with food. She packed the few things she knew he would eat. Mostly, Crackers and cheese, raisins, pudding, beef jerky, juice and an emergency high sugar item in case he felt his blood sugar level was dangerously low. At one point, they were confiscating his energy or candy bars telling him they were forbidden. A note from the doctor and scathing letters from me seemed to resolve that problem for awhile, but they continued to harass her about the contents of his box lunches. As a young single mother, the intimidation and veiled threats of child neglect eventually got to her and she decided to sign him up for the “free’ “nutritious” lunches he was “entitled” to receive based on her income. She was always against accepting government assistance, but felt there was no choice due to the threats. Problem solved. They won. What could they say now? He collected and threw away the school lunch each day for the remaining year he attended that school. We made sure he had his emergency sugar in his bag and that he ate a good (for him) breakfast before school. He almost always had a good appetite when he got home and that made getting him to eat a good dinner easier. The school Nazis did not know this, nor did they care. They cared nothing for his welfare, they only cared that they won.

“What on G-d’s green Earth is wrong with a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, apple juice and potato chips for lunch?”

It didn’t come from the state, that’s what. It’s all about control.

“It’s worse than that.They are trying to force people to purchase the government/school lunch.”

Of course it’s about the money.

'which consisted of a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, apple juice and potato chips '

That's a pant-load healthier than some of the brown bags I carried to school, and my mother was an R.N. for 42 years, so she'd know what we were shoving down our pie holes, not to mention the nutritional value of it. Just another example of der Schwarzenführer's network of undercover, unionist brown shirts. Rotting us away from the inside out, like a malignant cancer.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Took the healthy home lunch away and gave her this artificial crap? - and charged the mother $1.25 for it to boot?

I’d be suing for 425,000 - minimum:

If the da*m gov’t is concerned about our foods - let ‘em go after the manufacturers that are poisoning us? How about High Fructose Corn Syrup.

And how About Monsanto’s GMO foods>
Or how about meat glue - you’re probably eating it. (If it ain’t got bones - I don’t get it.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo2S3Oqom5o

Or orange juice? You think you’re getting 100% pure? - fool you -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF1FpCO4FuY

It has NOTHING to do with food safety. It has to do with control. And just how much are we paying to have gov’t food police in schools?

The simple solution is an old fashioned metal lunch box with a padlock.

That would likely make breaking in to it a crime. Let the kid refuse to give up the combination and let's see the fun begin and see how committed the Neo-Stasi are to enforcing their will.

Don’t worry about it. Sometimes I don’t see something until been three or four threads posted about it.

I appreciate the ping cause I never know when I’m going to miss something. If everyone assumes I saw it or someone else pinged me, then I’d never know about it.
