So they punished everybody, by banning brown bag lunches, because of a few???
Probably started when severe allergies started increasing.
What did people do when those allergies started becoming more prevalent?
The rest of the story:
“..According to the newspaper, the Department of Health and Human Services ârequires all lunches served in pre-kindergarten programs - including in-home day care centers - to meet USDA guidelinesâ which say that lunches âmust consist of one serving of meat, one serving of milk, one serving of grain, and two servings of fruit or vegetables, even if the lunches are brought from home.â
The pre-school program is mandated to supplement the lunch, according to federal regulations, if the lunch from home doesnât meet the standards, the paper said.
Once the story about the lunch hullabaloo made national news, a spokesman for the USDA told the local Fox affiliate that the situation was âmishandled.â
âNothing from a home-packed meal is ever taken away and teachers cannot force a child to eat whatever supplemental servings are provided,â the TV station reported.”
1) It is long past time to abolish government schools. Educating our children is far to important to let government continue screwing it up.
2) America’s decline began when we abandoned the tar-pot, the feather-bag, and the fence-rail.
Problem is. When a kid brings a good lunch s/he is chastised and punished. Just training the children to get by on slave rations...
The allergies are nothing more than a plausible excuse for what they really want to do with the nation’s children.

Very scary. The gov should take all our chidren because we are too stupid to even know how to feed or educate them or teach life skills (finance, sex ed, physical fitness, etc). Only the gov is capable of really knowing how to do these things. As soon as O gets done studying the IRS problem, the Syrian problem, the Iraq problem, he will be able to tackle the big issue of how to raise our children correctly. Unfortunately, as far fetched as this sounds, it is already happening. Look no further than the child taken from her parents because they disagreed with the doctor and the state run child “protective” services.

Careful what you say - this is their goal, I believe.

And there is the problem. If we “watch what we say,” we have already acknowledged the death of our Republic.
We have the Constitutional right to express our thoughts and opinions where and when we want — as citizens of this country.
The moment we start whispering, “shush”-ing each other, looking over our shoulders from fear, we may as well tear up copies of our Constitution ourselves.
I am one of those who came to this country to escape such command, control, and dictatorship. It is painful to watch this country start to shrink under the boot of dictators
If we shrink back in fear, we may as well tell ole Prince Harry he has the right idea in rescinding the First Amendment. Is that *really* what we want???
God forgive us if we do.
And the food Nazi’s won’t let you bring a sack lunch?!?!?!?
The mom in question is a stay-at-home mother of three kids.
http://jujugoodnews.com/federal-government-bans-packed-lunches-from-public-school/
She should homeschooling them..
The article says she kept packing the kids lunch after the kid wouldn’t eat the school lunch.
Then the note got sent.
From the moms blog, quoted in that article I linked to:
“...I went from confusion to dumbfounded to feeling being hurt knowing my child would come home hungry. Zion refuses eats what the school provide, I know this because heâs uber picky but after I received a note from his teacher last month that he hasnât eat much and perhaps I could pack him a lunch. I didâ¦
Until one day last week, I received this note and I was confused as wanting to know why and I called the health coordinator. Left a message hoping they would call back but they didnât. So I was like, f this⦠I continue to pack him a lunch.
Then I received this with a little note from his teacher to not send a lunch from home unless a doctorâs note is sent in. Why do we need a doctorâs note? This is astounding on so many levels. How dare they tell me not to pack a lunch from home but they would force my child to eat? I know my child and I know what he likes to eat. But if he refuses, what is he going to eat then?...”
They haven’t banned bagged lunches in every school, but I remember reading that a district in Chicago banned them at one time. I don’t know if that is still the case.
The district we live in does not ban brown bag lunches. MO would fall over screeching, but they also allow the kids in middle and high school to bring soda, sweets, and other kinds of “junk food” in their lunch. There is no home lunch inspection. The horror!
Believe it or not, this is in Minnesota.
There’s the problem. You think they’re your kids. The government thinks they’re theirs. /sarcasm
barry can eat anything he wants, aids keeps him thin.
Thanks for the pics. What the food police eat. (whatever they want, whenever they want, and WE pay for it)
same here as well. It seems in liberal utopia-land the governmental diktat on screwal lunches hasn’t hit us as hard as other states.
“...eating Kimchee was a no-no.”
I’m afraid to ask why - but I will.
Why was kimchee a no-no?
Trump and Carson should stand with the country’s children against liberal scolds...
Hey—Halloween is over.
No more witch pictures allowed!

I would call them pigs, but that’s insulting to hogs all over the world.
