I'm less concerned about what constitutes a healthy lunch, and more concerned that we have the federal government involved with this.

1) There's no constitutional authority for the federal government to be involved in what children eat for lunch.

2) It also defies common sense. Does it really make sense to have someone in Washington DC determining what is a proper lunch for a child in say, Oregon--3000 miles away? Isn't there some limit to micro-managing our lives?

I wonder if Michelle Obama’s anti-obesity program has any relation to this...

I think it goes beyond mere federal government involvement. I believe there’s a 4th Amendment violation in that it is an illegal search and seizure. I pray for the day these storm troopers are behind bars. sd

To liberals, there is no limit to how far to go to micro-manage our lives.

To liberals, it makes perfect sense for bureaucrats in Washington, DC, to supervise what kids in Oregon eat for lunch.

To liberals, the constitution means whatever they, or liberal judges, say it means. So your comment about no constitutional authority for the federal government to be involved with lunches is something that they can’t accept. To them, everything is the business of the federal government.

Exactly. It is not about nutrition...since the kid's lunch meets the requirements set by the USDA....it's about control.

Just as gun control is not about guns.

There are no limits when dictatorship is the goal..Dictatorship has proven to be the most unhealthy state for mankind to live under. When it is fully established, the officials will not care what the serfs eat or whether they eat at all. It is a process, folks, and we are hearing about it and watching it take us over day by day by day and people just accept it without very much response.
