My guess. A school cafeteria needs to bump up their meals provided numbers or face a budget cut from the school district.





Whatta scam.
“What a caterpillar calls the end of the world we call a butterfly.” - ECKHART TOLLE
I guess I could maybe sorta understand if the kid was bringing nothing but junk food from home...but replacing what sounds like a perfectly normal lunch with chicken nuggets? Do these people even know what chicken nuggets are MADE of? I've seen it, they take the carcass and skin and bones and sinew and everything from the chicken--everything that's left over once they harvest the meat itself--and they grind it up into a paste and press it into little chicken shapes and then bread and deep fry them. Think about THAT the next time you're in the McDonald's drive-through.
And after the whole pizza-is-a-vegetable thing that came from the corruption in government, I don't really trust any of those people that decide what is healthy for kids to eat. This is one of the reasons I didn't get why people were up in arms about Michele Obama and her whole thing about childhood obesity and eating healthy--you're mad about that, but you're not made about what your children are actually being fed in the cafeterias? What Michele Obama is trying to change? I remember seeing school lunches and I don't remember ever seeing vegetables on anyone's tray.




Ha. Reminds me of a thread where someone said it was 'child abuse' to not feed their kids organic foods or some shit like that. That mother knows what her daughter likes and will eat on her own. She said she gives her veggies at home because she has to watch her. Its pretty common to hear ppl who don't even have kids dole out their unwanted and ignorant advice but when schools do it, too? WTF is this world coming to?





This is wrong on many levels. Explain how a turkey and cheese sandwich, apple juice and a banana is worse than chicken nuggets. If they did to to my kid I would be going to the school and causing trouble. How dare they tell parents to make their kids eat junk (and chicken nuggets are junk)instead of healthy.
This country is going to hell and everytime I hear stories like this it makes me more convinced of this. Why in the hell were agents here? That is taxpayer waste.
I'm going to say exactly what I said on another forum talking about the same thing:
Okay, two things:
One is quoted right in the article:
"With a turkey sandwich, that covers your protein, your grain, and if it had cheese on it, that's the dairy," said Jani Kozlowski, the fiscal and statutory policy manager for the division. "It sounds like the lunch itself would've met all of the standard." The lunch has to include a fruit or vegetable, but not both, she said.
Two: Why didn't the little girl eat her lunch? Did they take it away from her?
The article said the "food police" would offer the students a chance to buy the missing pieces of their lunch that was deemed unacceptable. But that to me means in addition to what they brought, not instead of.
And, okay, three: How the hell are chicken nuggets healthier than what her mother packed her?
To add: that sounds like a lunch my mom would've packed for me. (Well, minus the chips.)





Me too. My mom used to pack me a lunch with a sandwich like tuna or pb&j, a fruit, milk and a snack that was junk food like a pudding cup or bag of chips. I was NEVER obese or chubby or even close to being called chubby. In fact I was generally taller and more athletic than my age. Most of my friends were not overweight either.





And that is why I am always so careful about packing my daughter's lunches. I swear she has the healthiest lunches in her preschool.

I know my kid...when she was smaller I used to pack lunches for her. Always very healthy, I dont buy junk food, and no snacky stuff..well our snacks mean nuts, fruit and veggies. I actually would have to include extra carrots and celery in her lunchbag cause shed sneak to eat it during the day lol
Anyway, knowing my kid, she would have raised high holy hell if someone said she couldnt eat her lunch and they put nuggets in front of her. One thing about her, you do not mess with her food unless you want to lose a limb or something..hehe!!
Its sad thought that they are giving this kid the impression that a turkey sandwich is bad, and nuggets are good.
Kids for the most part trust what they learn in school, and it makes an impact on their development.
Its disgusting this is what they teach this kid, and Im sure countless others...all for the sake of an agenda.
Im sure it has something to do with funds like someone above mentioned.

There are always people that will misuse their position of power. Unfortunately, this time, the target was some little girl's lunchbox.
In a Texas high school, students are using swipe cards to pay for their lunch. Parents replenish the card and monitor the students' meal plans.
I know that's high school and this is preschool, but this is a wonderful example of parents being the ones that decide what their kids eat.




When i worked in a pre-school all the children had to eat the school dinners, mainly because i worked in an area of high social deprivation and the school dinners we provided were monitored soooo carefully by the council, literally, everything came fresh and had to be cooked (those dinner ladies were angels!) but also because it was a nightmare trying to control 40 under 5's with lunchboxes from not swapping, hiding, arguing about etc their food and it was much easier to control and monitor who had eaten what with 40 trays of identical food. That way if the children hadnt eaten much, we could tell their parents at the end of the day. They got free milk and a free piece of fruit every day too.
We trialled having packed lunches but it was just so sad, some children came with literally one piece of old cake, or a single pack of crisps (potato chips) and nothing else. Plus, it was messy as balls! Having school dinners also made the more fussy eaters a bit more open to trying new things, i had one kid who would cry for literally an hour and eat maybe three bites of his lunch and by the end of the first few weeks was the first to finish and got the "speedy eater award" lol. A lot of the kids had never used cutlery or sat at a table to eat a meal when they first came to school, they were used to eating off their laps or on the floor while watching TV.
I think the school in this particular instance were stupid, who replaces a perfectly healthy meal with that kind of processed rubbish? We couldnt have tomato ketchup, salt or cordial, the kids had water with their meals. No fizzy drinks at all. And even on pizza day they got some carrot sticks and cherry tomato's with fruit bags for desert. Damn that pizza was good!

Lol..... We are under the command of morons.
WASHINGTON — Congress wants to keep pizza and french fries on school lunch lines, fighting back against an Obama administration proposal to make school lunches healthier.
The final version of a spending bill released late Monday would unravel school lunch standards the Agriculture Department proposed earlier this year, which included limiting the use of potatoes on the lunch line and delaying limits on sodium and delaying a requirement to boost whole grains.
The bill also would allow tomato paste on pizzas to be counted as a vegetable, as it is now. USDA had wanted to prevent that.

The country has been looted.





I have to say though that when I was in grade school cheese and sausage pizza was the most popular meal. Kids who normally didn't eat hot lunches bought that it was so good.
Many people think that the kids are obese because of the school lunches but it's because PARENTS aren't feeding them well and that the kids don't exercise. My parents would never let me sit around watching tv and eating junk all the time, they wanted me to go out and play. That's why there weren't many fat kids then. Now when I see a kid in shape I am surprised. My parents never let us eat that much junk food. We had cookies but those were monitored and maybe once a week we had McDonalds as a treat. Otherwise we ate a lot of healthy food and drank milk with our meals (pop was a weekend thing only). I loved fruits and vegetables, still do and that was what I ate often for snacks. There really isn't a reason for kids to be obese in most cases, it's poor parenting.
Oh and Congress is stupid fighting the Obama ideas of fighting obesity. The Obamas are in good shape, I wonder how many of those congress people fighting the new rules are fat asses.





Your tax dollars at work.
Anyone else remember when Jamie Oliver tried to go into school and improve their school dinners?
There's a petition you can sign here:

It says that you support the Food Revolution: "Kids need better food at school and better health prospects. We need to keep cooking skills alive."
