If you send your child to school in Manitoba with roast beef, potatoes, carrots, an orange and some milk, you should prepare yourself for the inevitable accusations of negligence, a $10 fine and having your kids force-fed Ritz crackers to make up for your lack of parental ability.
That's right. Meat, vegetables and dairy are all fine and good. But if your kid doesn't get his or her daily intake of saturated fats and processed wheat products, you deserve a scarlet letter branded to your chest.
The health blog Weighty Matters posted recently on a Manitoba mother who received a rebuke from her child's school accusing her of sending her children to school with an "unbalanced" lunch in April 2012.
Meals that are provided to children (by either the center or parent) are required to have: 1 milk, 1 meat, 1 grain and 2 fruits/vegetable. According to licensing guidelines, the centre is required to supplement lunches that contain anything less than this," the note reads.
It adds that the lunch was supplemented with Ritz Crackers, and the parent was charged $10.

Good cracker....goooood cracker.
many of these types of stories from Canada. they are definitely more Marxist than we are. (so far).
And I would respond with a $10 million dollar suit for teaching my kid about sodomy, Islam, lesbians, the beauty of marxism under Obama and whatever else they are polluting my kids mind with.
Highway robbery.
Ritz crackers in not a grain. Any thing that is made from ground stuff is overly processed and considered a flour based starch.
A side of brown rice, for example, would be a grain.

I’d lose my mind if somebody fed that crap to my kids.
Apparently, in Canadah, there are a number of situations where public “servants” need to be lined up and terminated, as encouragement for the others.
Canadah needs to consult with Sweden.
Haven't bought any in the last 5 years.
Still Living!
I’m in favor of buttering the bread for my sandwiches (as undiverse as sandwiches are these daze).
Yes, these public servants’ publicly-funded golden pensions need to be replaced by public horse-whippings.
The “heads on pikes” treatment is reserved for their masters.
Try smearing some braunschwieger in there instead of butter.
Yow!
the nutritional value of a ritz cracker is very close to zero.
Washington DC could benefit from some object lessons.
That Mitch (ditch 'm) would benefit from an opportunity to get in touch with his wealth (after 30 yr at the public trough) would also be encouragement to the others.
$10 for crackers?? How many did they give these kids????
