What does Obama have to do with this? It's a state law.she did say the child eats her veggies at home under mom's supervison. she sounds like a responsible mother.
i find this to be very disturbing, another example of state intrusion and the obama's making better decisons "for the good of the people" than the american parent can.
the agent inspects every luch box ?? really ?? you can drink 1 % milk but not two ??
is this preconditioning for patdowns and surprise locker inspections.
what about bookburning and mandatory secularism ?? ?? how about brain implants so you vote for a democrat party candidate ??
North Carolina's state legislature is controlled by Republicans, not Democrats.
Republicans can be idiot nanny state individuals as well. Bozo ideas can be bipartisan. ETA: I'm all for nutritious lunches but to have a "food guard" on staff when schools can't afford books or more teachers is to me just crazy.
This is what I don't get. The lunch met the guidelines. Go figure.
The girls turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, according to the interpretation of the agent who was inspecting all lunch boxes in her More at Four classroom that day.
The Division of Child Development and Early Education at the Department of Health and Human Services requires all lunches served in pre-kindergarten programs including in-home day care centers to meet USDA guidelines.
That means lunches must consist of one serving of meat, one serving of milk, one serving of grain, and two servings of fruit or vegetables
Turkey = Meat
Cheese = Milk
Bread = Grain
Banana = 1x Fruit/Veg
Apple Juice = 1x Fruit/Veg
Good find on that. Truth is, not every meal is 'complete.' A serving of tomato based spaghetti, where the sauce has other veggies pureed in, then a serving on the side with a vegetable, takes care of more than a days worth of vegetable serving.
Granted the body gets rid of excess with that sort of meal, but the gist stays. The child doesn't care for raw veggies in all likelihood, which is why mom isn't including them in the lunch. How dare she say the child isn't getting them at other times, via other ways?
