I think that was a preschool that sent that note home. A Headstart program. I don’t think it’s reached general ed public schools yet.

It’s only a matter of time and federal influence. When the school lunches are all going to waste, then the feds will step in and mandate that your child eat it and no food from home allowed..................

do you have any idea how many kids have a parent who will NOT provide them the means to make lunch at home?

after all the gubmint food is “free”

I have heard of welfare homes where the kitchens are literally bare, not because of lack of money or food stamps to buy food, but because of laziness sloth and greed to use the welfare checks on weaves tats manicures and cell phones

Mooches plan just might make some lower class kids thinner as those without any other means of feeding themselves slowly starve on 850 calorie lunches of nasty tasteless food

BTW, I want to see the Congressional cafeteria and the WH lunch menu held to the same standards as the schools

If their parents won’t provide their lunch, then I guess beggars can’t be choosers.

New federal school food regulations promoted by First Lady Michelle Obama...

When did this become law? Silly me, Michelle is like her husband...never consult our Congress...did anyone elect her to be Chief Nutrition of Public Schools? What's her background in Nutrition Services?

So just how much is the average taxpayer obligated to pay for this “laziness, sloth and greed” on the part of the so-called “parent” in such homes?

At what point does real charity and accountability kick in? Afterall...isn’t it safe to say that with the liberalization of the food “programs” out there, that the gov’t is directly responsible for this abuse?

I’m sorry if I sound cold-hearted, but these folks are making conscious decisions to neglect their children at my expense...I can’t abide any more abuse by these folks and the systems that steal from me and mine all in the name of “fighting poverty and hunger” while many are morbidly obese.

At Notre Dame, school officials turned to the professionals at My Daddy’s Cheesecake, Papa John’s, Tractors Classic American Grill and Chick-fil-A to bring in nutritious and tasty meals students enjoy for “restaurant Wednesdays,” SEMissourian.com reports.

OK, I have no doubt that these will be tasty meals. But nutritious? Fast food?

federal school food regulations

So the food before it is made is regulated. Then how it is packaged is regulated. And the materials used to package it are regulated. Then how it is transported is regulated and then how it is sold is regulated. Oh yes, and how it is stored is regulated. Then it is regulated again before it goes to a school. Have I missed any regulations?

Now if the whole nation could drop the lyin’ King, and nullify EVERY decree as well as those of the wookie, we’ll be on to something!

Interesting. Missouri rejects the diet of the Hottentot tribe.

right attitude...

backed up by? - what is your strategy in your local school district?

Lincoln: "He has the right to criticize who has the heart to help"

"He who is not part of the solution is part of the problem"

Is there a list somewhere of all these schools that have told the gov't to take their lunch and shove it? 'been some even in Chi-town

School districts drop the program and lose funding but at election time in 2016 democrat fascists will be bragging about how much waste they trimmed out of the program these places are dropping.

They want to do the same sort of thing with BarryCare, make it impossible for people to get the treatment they need then brag about all the "unnecessary" treatments BarryCare squeezed out of the system but too many people are well aware of how horrible BarryCare is for them to be able to pull it off.

The dolts who make up the "undecideds", though, will forget all about the hundreds of school districts that lost funding because they wanted children to actually have a meal at lunch time rather than just having something to throw in the trash.

Fight and fight even more to stop the abuse.

To inform and educate the ignorant and complacent...telling the local school board to shove it whenever they propose more idiotic spending...

So take your “challenge” and your “admonition” and spend it on someone else, it’s wasted on me as I already live it.

No calendars, we just knew the lunch menu from the smells emanating from the kitchen, since we had a one building school at the time (grades 1-12), and we knew Fridays was always fish sticks!...........................
