If they saw this child *Rachel Ray* chopping vegetables with a sharp knife, in my supervised kitchen...I'd be taken away to a gulag. I know, I'm a bad-bad person.
Our family has been school-free (tm) since 1999. None of our children will have attended schools of any kind. Unfortunately, our oldest wants to go to college, ruining an otherwise perfect record.
if anyone else were the President I would assume this story had come from The Onion
Someone could have been seriously injured or killed. (/sarc)
Ohhhhh my..... breathe, Tatt. Breathe, and think calm thoughts.
Now. Read over the article again, and the thread just to be certain.
Breathe.
I will choose what is healthy for myself, thank you very much. And when my children have children of their own, and I am taking care of them, I will choose just as I did when mine own were young.
No government or school employee has any business inspecting anyone’s homemade food.
Allow me to paraphrase a most excellent comment I read on another FoodNazi thread, (apologies that the original poster’s name escapes me) - “”Does the phrase, “My body - My choice” sound at all familiar Libs?””
Ours went through public school, but in the words of my youngest on graduation night, “Nick of time, Mom. Nick of time.”
Dear Lord, please, give us the strength to take our country back. Our children, and our very lives.

There was a news story some months back regarding the vile concoction that goes into chicken nuggets, complete with photos prior to breading and cooking. Picture creamy smooth pink self serve ice cream. Absolutely nausea inducing.
I am having a hard time with the idea of “food police” at schools- in fact this is something as a mom I would be pitching a fit about. Some parents do feed their children very bad diets, but I sure don’t want the government regulating that- and like other things the government gets into they are not feeding the children any better- I have seen some of the strange stuff they feed in cafeterias. YUK and doesn’t look nutritious to me either.
As a side note the sandwich had a serving of meat, dairy (if the cheese was real cheese), grains, banana and juice are both fruit- a whole banana for a small child is two servings. As another poster said children do need fat so chips are not be the best choice but with a balanced meal not bad enough to get excited about.
Sounds like they are drumming up business for the cafeteria and next they will be trying to coerce the parents into the free lunch program- schools scam extra money that way and want all the children on the free/reduced meal program these days. I did fight that one for years, refused to fill out the paperwork- told them it was none of their business how much money we made, we were not asking for anything...was a battle every year.
Honestly, I am speechless that Americans even allow this.
Rome is burning, and all we do is vote that the fire should be put out.
What a bunch of mindless idiots this country has become. We certainly have the government we deserve.
It's not just for Russians anymore!
Reminiscent of G. Gordon Liddy’s book, When I Was A Kid, America Was a Free Country!
When I was in grade school, I was given a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, drink, and snack in my lunch most days by my mother. If my lunch had ever been “inspected” and I then had chicken nuggets forced on me, I absolutely would have thrown them on the floor in my refusal to eat them.
This story is wrong on sooo many levels :(
The nuggets were probably sharia-compliant meat by-products.

WTH??? Pre school lunch box brigade? unHOLY sh** this has got to stop.
