“Where and when did they start banning brown bag lunches??”

I don’t recall the specifics now, but past articles on FR pointed to many news stories and news broadcasts focused on the official angle that brown bag lunches were a threat to the health of students who had allergies. The stories highlighted the many draconian responses to the student brown bag lunches.

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.
