Looks like lunchbox nazi inspectors are mandated by the Feds

[BlindBoo]

Brings up another point... where in the Constitution does the First Lady have any legislative power or authority??

Seriously? Was it the First Lady who sign the bill?

Was it her who crafted it, helped bring it before the legislative process?? Sure was reported that way..

Just sayin'

She crafted it? So the Chairmen of the various commitees in the Congress just let her bypass them and craft it all herself? I think maybe you exaggerate her advisory role in the process.

 

[BlindBoo]

Just so every one is aware, here are the "new provisions"

Provisions

In addition to funding standard child nutrition and school lunch programs, there are several new nutritional standards in the bill. The main aspects are listed below.


New nutrition standards

Gives USDA the authority to set new standards for food sold in lunches during the regular day, including vending machines.

Authorizes additional funds for the new standards for federal-subsidized school lunches.

Provides resources for schools and communities to utilize local farms and gardens to provide fresh produce.

Provides resources to increase nutritional quality of food provided by USDA

Increases access to drinking water in schools

Sets minimal standards for school wellness policies

Increases access

Increased the number of eligible children for school meal programs by 115,000

Uses census data to determine student need in high-poverty areas, rather than relying on paper applications.

Authorizes USDA to provide meals in more after-school programs in "high-risk" areas

Program monitoring

Requires school districts to be audited every 3 years to see if they have met nutrition standards

Requires easier access for students and parents about nutritional facts of meals

Improves recall procedures for school food

Provides training for school lunch providers

Where is that they (the Federal Government) require schools employ a "Nazi Lunch Box Inspector"?

Would you be more comfortable if the lobbyists for food processors wrote the regulations defining a healthy lunch for children? Would that be better policy all around? I'm not really convinced that those lobbyists have the nutrition of school children as a prime priority. Maybe those lobbyists would serve their clients better by advocating pizza as vegetables and high fructose corn syrup as a healthy ingredient for school aged children.

You just can't imagine a world where the government doesn't tell you what to do, can you?

You're servile to the bone.

You're the ideal liberal!

Not surprisingly, this story has been picked up in large swathes of the libertarian and conservative blogospheres…

One problem: the story is a load of bunk at worst, a non-story at best, standing for little more than the proposition that low-income children in NC’s low-income pre-K program whose parents don’t send them to school with enough healthy food will be provided with additional food to supplement what their parents send them to school with.

As usual, conservatives have no use for the truth.

Needless to say, if a story came out that poor children were discovered to not have enough healthy food and the school failed to offer a supplement, conservatives would decry the ‘incompetent pubic sector.’

That's not the issue here whatsoever.

The issue is the mother's lunch met the guidelines and frankly was more nutritious than freaking deep fried chicken nuggets. Yet the inspector told the child her lunch from mom was no good, and gave her a school lunch.

Do you know what's in chicken nuggets? Trust me, the turkey sandwich mom packed is far better.

Oh and the story has gone viral internationally in even left wing news organizations. Not just blogs.

Not only did they feed the child those insipid greasy nuggets, according to the story, they charged the mother for them.

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.

http://www.betterhealthusa.com/public/227.cfm

- 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 nazi inspectors!"

Chicken nuggets, a superb first step in addressing any obesity problem...

Nice . Don't expect it to change the minds of those convinced that this is a nefarious federal plot to usher in the new age of Socialism in America however..........

Why is the federal government involved in the least bit?.......

It the National School Lunch Program.

The legislation came in response to claims that many American men had been rejected for World War II military service because of diet-related health problems. The federally assisted meal program was established as “a measure of national security, to safeguard the health and well-being of the Nation’s children and to encourage the domestic consumption of nutritious agricultural commodities.”

Program History & Data

So your historic calendar just skips 2010, got it, thanks......

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.

Here is how it works in practice.

LAUSD Students Roundly Reject Healthier School Lunch Menu « CBS Los Angeles

Rejecting healthful alternatives like vegetarian curries and tamales, quinoa salads and pad Thai noodles, students are throwing them in the trash by the thousands, bringing junk food from home and buying instant noodles and other decidedly unhealthy fare from the “black markets” that have begun to thrive at campuses across the district, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The wholesale rejection to its healthy menu comes about a year after a very public food fight with TV chef Jamie Oliver. Oliver filmed a few weeks of his ABC series “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution” at one LAUSD campus, but the permit was terminated abruptly.

Now, the Times reports cartons of plain milk are being thrown away en masse, unopened, along with uneaten entrees. Participation in the school lunch program has dropped by thousands of students, who are ditching lunch and are suffering from hunger-related ailments.

Liberals like starving children.

Hyper bullshit.

Jamie Oliver's menus were not mandated by the 2010 NSLP? The new changes the LAUSD will be implementing will still follow the USDA nutritional guidlelines.

This legislation by the President the First Lady and the USDA ups the ante big time. And we're not just talking $$$$$.

This is not what it started out to be. I know, it's one of the talking points.

I wondered why it took so long for some one to try this shit.

Bush signed a nutrition act too. Boooooooooooooooooooooooosh.

Brings up another point... where in the Constitution does the First Lady have any legislative power or authority??

I'm suprised no one pointed to Nancy Reagan and 'Just Say No'

....RIGHT-WING BULLSHIT, ALRIGHT!!!!

"When Carolina Journal reported Feb. 14 that a Hoke County girl had come to preschool with a turkey sandwich and came home after having eaten chicken nuggets instead, little did we suspect that the story would go viral, that new information would change some of the details – and that these two things would conspire to cause us a major headache."​

The private sector can't force you to do diddly squat. How would you "cede your liberty" to it? A private business can only make money by providing its customers with something they want. That means they cater to your interests. Government, on the other hand, simply takes your money by force. Only a fool would trust the later over the former.
