Parental rights meet food!

[Guest guest]

I had several people write me when I posted a couple years ago that we, as

trad fooders, need to get behind the parental rights organization to protect

our rights as parents to select the foods our children eat. I was called

names, and several people carried on how this was off topic and absolutely

ridiclous. But here we go-

RAEFORD, N.C. - A Hoke County preschooler was fed chicken nuggets for lunch

because a state worker felt that her homemade lunch did not have enough

nutritional value, according to a report

<http://www.carolinajournal.com/exclusives/display_exclusive.html?id=8762>

by the Carolina Journal.

The West Hoke Elementary School student was in her More at Four classroom

when a state employee who was inspecting lunch boxes decided that her packed

lunch - which consisted of a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, apple

juice and potato chips - " did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture

guidelines, " the Journal reports.

The decision was made under consideration of a regulation put in place by

the the Division of Child Development and Early Education at the Department

of Health and Human Services, which requires all lunches served in

pre-kindergarten programs to meet USDA guidelines.

" When home-packed lunches do not include all of the required items, child

care providers must supplement them with the missing ones, " the Journal

reports.

The student's mother told the Journal she received a note from the school

about the incident and was charged $1.25 for the cafeteria tray, from which

her daughter ate three chicken nuggets.

The note explained how students who did not bring " healthy lunches " would be

offered the missing portions and that parents could be charged for the cost

of the cafeteria food, the Journal reports.

The mother, who was not identified in the report, expressed concerns about

school officials telling her daughter that she wasn't " packing her lunch box

properly. "

I am right there with you on this one. We need to resist this kind of

unwarranted government intrusion into our lives!

However, that being said, I certainly would not advocate subjecting our children

to any government propaganda until they've been properly educated. The only

suitable alternative is for parents to take this responsibility on themselves,

which I realize can be difficult for many families.

From a legal point of view, when children are sent to public school, you are

subjecting them to the jurisdiction of the government. But that's just part of

the story.

So apparently the answer is to put some carrot sticks in the bag lunch even

though you know the kiddo won't eat them because then they will be left

alone to eat the parts they do like?

Messed up system all around.
