Expect more of this type of activity as funds flow into universities for projects of this nature. Absolutely nothing human beings do is to be left uncontrolled.

Checked out any College course catalogs lately?

Some 7 years ago, the pubic skool my son went to wouldn't allow "sugary" foods in the lunchbag.

He always had a (vitamin enriched) beverage, a sandwich usually of meat, cheese and lettuce [sometimes tomato], another item such as yogurt, jello w/fruit or just some fruit or cheese crackers and a "dessert" [ah, the sugar]. Something to look forward to at lunch. No, no, not good [realizing some children shouldn't have sweets, all children had to suffer].

Mommy-state, save us from ourselves please!

The sky is falling and the do-gooders are here to help.

[babyface00]

That first paragraph really says it all.

This doesn't have any thing to do w/ this story but what does.... (sic) ..... stand for? I see it quite a bit.

[TontoKowalski]

Yee-haw! Us smokers/smoker sympathizers are laughing our asses off!

Everytime cigarette taxes are raised, I want a corresponding increase in the taxes levied on ice cream.

And after that, I want a study done on the dangerous chemicals in hair dye.

The communists-socialists already succeeded here in the US... some schools have breakfast, lunch and even dinner.

Anything to keep the kid from seeing his parents as his providers... and to convince him or her the state shall provide.

If Australia does this it will eventually grow to be the same monstrosity it is here.

My lunches were in a small cooler and I wouldn't have traded it for anthying in the world. My folks usually put an egg, peanut butter (*dreaded right-wing killer peanuts, now banned), or ham sandwich (*Islamic terrorist deterrent) , or even shrimp we'd bring back from the Gulf; fruit, salads, a thermos of soup and I'd buy milk or bring tea. Once in a while mom would make strawberry pie and throw that in. Beats the heck out of the filthy substandard crap the cafeteria was serving.

sic adv : intentionally so written

[VermiciousKnid]

"sic" is Latin for "thus" or "so".

In this instance the use of (sic) indicates that the quote is EXACTLY as written (it's usally done to leave visible to the reader any spelling or grammatical errors that were in the original).

Tea!? You were allowed to have Tea!?

Our schools are now going to offer breakfast to poor kids and to children of parents who are just so busy in the morning, what with getting ready for work and school, that they just really don't have the time to prepare any type of breakfast.

A lot of principals are not happy with it.

Sorry. It was just standing there asking to be done.

[OXENinFLA]

Oh, that's all. Thanks.

They really gotta get rid of that law that makes it illegal for parents to get up before 6:30 AM. If they were just allowed to get up a little earlier, at 6:00 AM, they would have plenty of time to fix junior's lunch.

[Vic3O3]

Gee, first they banned the guns...now it's lunchboxes! How stupid can they get??!

[Houmatt]

Now, why did you have to go and confuse me like that?

I thought this story was about some stupid, ignorant Aussies pissed off at Kevin Smith.
