Looks like lunchbox nazi inspectors are mandated by the Feds

This really blows me away that the USDA has this much power. I am really uncomfortable with this "one size fits all children nutritional guidelines".

Schools also will be required to set certain calorie amounts for various grade levels. Under the new standards, lunches for students in kindergarteners-through-fifth grade have 550 and 650 calories; lunches for grades six-through-eight have between 600 and 700 calories; and lunches for students in grades nine-through-12 have 750 and 850 calories.

Requirements also have been established for breakfast, but those requirements don’t begin until the 2013-14 school year.

Gordon said the calories aren’t set per item, but are taken as an average of a week’s meals.

“The calories really aren’t by day,” she said. “The government evaluates them by a week’s time, an average.”


The government evaluates.....

wow just wow.

I believe that a LOT more parents will be home-schooling as a result.
 
nobody is having their home-made lunch taken away from them. Their lunches are being supplemented from the cafeteria if it isn't nutritious enough. A child coming to school with only a salami sandwich and a juice needs their lunch supplemented.

Do you disagree? Do you believe that a sandwich and a juice are sufficient sustenance for a six to seven hour school day? Why do you have a problem with schools offering additional food?
 
Yes, there is no greater proof of OBAMA'S EVIL than a non-story about how one kid got chicken nuggets at school one day.

This thread is the perfect example of the religion of liberalism: it is okay to usurp a parent's care for a child, but it is absolutely wrong to tell a woman that she shouldn't murder her own child. Sad on parade.

Can you show how the parent's care for their child was usurped in any way shape or form by a child being offered additional food items?

The new mother that came forward said that her daughter's lunch got substituted.

The lunch Zambrano packed for her daughter? A cheese and salami sandwich on a wheat bun with apple juice. The lunch she got in the cafeteria? Chicken nuggets, a sweet potato, bread and milk.

Oh and the schools get $$$$$. I'd put up the link earlier, but if schools completely comply by October 2012 I think they are eligible for like $ 2.70 a meal.

Oh and they get a bonus for pulling it off by that date. Billions have been added to the budget for this.
 
Amazing. Only rabid right wingers could object to feeding children decent food at ONE meal a day. There is nothing stopping you rw's from giving your kids donuts or pop tarts for breakfast and you can always stop at McD's on the way home. And, you have all weekend to park them in front of the boob tube with cheetos and pepsi. Quit worrying that your kids won't be fat and diabetic. I'm certain that you can more than make up for these 5 meals every week.

Funny that when Arnold Schwarzenegger was pushing good food and exercise, the rw's were humping his leg. BUT, let it come from our First Lady and the rw's go all apoplectic on us.

Explain how a turkey and cheese sandwich, chips, a banana, and apple juice are "unhealthy". Then explain how just chicken nuggets (the girl didn't eat anything else from the "school lunch") is "healthy".

I dont care if they supplement or provide lunches free. Arbitrarily charged is a problem.

Her lunch wasn't taken away. Nobody smacked her salami and cheese out of her little hands and shoved chicken nuggets down her throat.

A salami sandwich and an apple juice is not enough to get a kid through a full day of school. I'm glad she was offered additional food.

A note coming home saying in essence "you suck, your lunch you packed sucked, and we might charge you $1.25 next time you suck".

Would that be classified as "usurping"?

And I'm fairly certain that it was mentioned in the REAL story that came out after the drug addled gasbag Limbaugh got his "dittoheads" riled up, that the school says that the family SHOULD NOT have been charged and apologized for her having been charged.

logical bro......these dolts dont even know whats happening here. Morons think this is about nutrition!!!:2up:
 
Did the Feds actually tell them they could not?


Besides, on this issue, the Left stepped into big

CNN poll shows majority opposes HHS mandate, 50/44
Being CNN you know it is even worse for the Left


No worries here Neo............these gas prices are going to fuck the economy but good. So we have just a few more months of this madness and then all this lefty k00ks shit is gonna be mothballed for at least two generations.

I think you are right about the gas prices, but Obama will merely blame it on George Bush.

It is right that the school, when serving meals, be required to have nutritious food

It is NOT RIGHT to have lunch bag gestapo to take away provided lunches from students and force them to eat the school option

Fuck you
Yeah, it's MY RIGHT to give my kids rickets!

"Cheese" has calcium, and vitamin D. Don't bother to consider facts, though.

No, it wouldn't. If a teacher sent a note home saying your child didn't do their HOMEwork and they are going to get a bad grade, would that be usurping?

Do you believe that a sandwich and juice are sufficient sustenance to get a child through a full school day, yes or no? Do you think a child can concentrate when only given that much food to get them through their day? Do you think that has an effect on the class?

If the family cannot afford to be charged for the additional food their child is given, nothing is stopping them from providing the appropriate amount of food or applying for assistance for their child's school lunch.

If that child is on a specific diet, arrangements can be made through the school ahead of time.

You had a point in there somewhere. Point it out.

Do you know what is in chicken nuggets?

Why do our schools want to poison our children? If the nuggets are not being hand made following a Graham Kerr or Jamie Oliver recipe, it means they come from a factory much like Chicken McNuggets or the various frozen garbage one can find on store shelves.



by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.Com

Ever wonder what's really found in Chicken McNuggets? Some of the ingredients, it turns out, seem to belong more to an industrial factory of some kind, not a food retailer. According to the McDonald's Corporation, its famous Chicken McNuggets are made with ingredients including:

Autolyzed yeast extract (which contain free glutamate, similar to MSG),
Sodium phosphates and
Sodium aluminum phosphate.

But that's not the freaky part. According to McDonald's own website, Chicken McNuggets are also made with:

"hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and
citric acid added to preserve freshness" and
"Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent."


At least two of these ingredients are artificially synthesized industrial chemicals. TBHQ, a petroleum derivative, is used as a stabilizer in perfumes, resins, varnishes and oil field chemicals. Laboratory studies have linked it to stomach tumors. "At higher doses, it has negative health effects on lab animals, such as producing precursors to stomach tumors and damage to DNA. A number of studies have shown that prolonged exposure to high doses of TBHQ may be carcinogenic, especially for stomach tumors." (tert-Butylhydroquinone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Dimethylpolysiloxane, a type of silicone, is used in caulks and sealants, as a filler for breast implants, and as key ingredient in Silly Putty. Says Wikipedia:

"PDMS is also used as a component in silicone grease and other silicone based lubricants, as well as in defoaming agents, mold release agents, damping fluids, heat transfer fluids, polishes, cosmetics, hair conditioners and other applications. PDMS has also been used as a filler fluid in breast implants, although this practice has decreased somewhat, due to safety concerns. PDMS is used variously in the cosmetic and consumer product industry as well. For example, PDMS can be used in the treatment of head lice..."

Not that the other ingredients are any better. Because cotton is not regulated as a food crop, cottonseed oil may contain chemical pesticides that are banned in food production. It is also almost always genetically modified. Hydrogenated oils, of course, typically contain trans fats, the artificially produced fats that are unusable by the body and that studies have linked to a number of detrimental health problems. And autolyzed yeast extract is a chemical taste-enhancing ingredient containing free glutamate that manufacturers use as a friendlier-looking replacement for MSG.

And what about the chicken in Chicken McNuggets? It's factory-farmed chicken, not free-range chicken. So it's the kind of chicken that's typically treated with vaccines and hormones while being fed conventional feed products that are medicated with pharmaceuticals and grown with pesticides.

Yum!! Don't forget to ask for extra dipping sauce. We haven't even talked about what you'll find in there...
 
Overweight and Obesity in Children

Editor's note: The number of overweight U.S. children is increasing. According to a July report, the National Center for Health Statistics indicate 15 percent of children ages 6 to 18 were overweight in 2000, up from 6 percent in 1980. Fifteen percent of youngsters ages 6 to 19 and 10 percent of children 2 through 5 were considered seriously overweight. Sources: AHA, NIH, CDC, NHNES.

Obesity in children has become a top priority for health professionals in the United States. More than two-thirds of Americans are overweight and 30 per cent suffer from
obesity but there has been a dramatic increase in childhood obesity. In the United States, the percentage of overweight or obese children has doubled over the past 30 years to 25 per cent of the under-19 population.


..... A teen with "baby" fat has a 75 percent-plus chance of becoming overweight, putting them at high risk for diabetes, heart problems, cancer, high blood pressure and other serious diseases. High cholesterol has even been discovered in some toddlers today.

Overweight and Obesity in Children
- 66%+ of Americans are overweight

- 30% suffer from obesity

- % of overweight or obese children has doubled over the past 30 years to 25% of the under-19 population

- obesity in children has become a top priority for health professionals

- high risk for diabetes, heart problems, cancer, high blood pressure and other serious diseases

Only in America would an attempt to address what medical professionals consider American's top priority in children's health be characterized as a bunch of "lunchbox nazis!"

Know why kids are fat? Cause parents want to be their 'friend' and just can't seem to say 'no' to their precious little ones.

I thought it was because of "paid school lunches" where children eat what they want (the unhealthier foods) and toss the rest (the healthier foods).

Right wing story: Girl gets her nutritious lunch taken away and forced to eat chicken nuggets.

Real story: Girl was told to get milk for her lunch, she took the whole lunch and still had her old lunch to eat as well.
