The continued creeping of socialism through the education system

[AZRepublican]

We had outstanding lunches when I was in school because our mothers would volunteer to cook in the cafeteria. Of course, this made it difficult to eat what you wanted with your mother in control of the menu :(

Makes you wonder when congress will mandate free breakfast and lunch for minimum wage workers.

Food, wages, lifestyles are all replacing individual freedom as "rights."

I make my kids lunches now, at least 4 out of the 5 days of the week. They weren't eating the school lunches, and this way I can control what they are eating, and the portions. Plus I can make special things they like (like chicken quesadillas) and I know they are eating it.

And my 11 y.o. can share the Oreos with the girl he eats lunch with, lol.

"School meal education is poor substitute for home education cooked involvement"

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The leftist government would gladly take over all the responsibilities of parenting kids, and indoctrinate them against traditional values and in favor of the "values" loved by the left.

I don't think it is just schools with horrible nutrition, just look in your own cupboards. I'm sure you could find processed foods, sodas, "fake" foods, sugary treats. This the the way of the nation.

They (and I have never quite figured out who this group of people called "they" are) say that people live longer than our ancestors...the only reason we live longer is because there are better drugs keeping us alive. Who do you know that doesn't take at least one drug to help with some medical problem?

Our food is still killing us. It is full of chemicals, antibiotics, and hormones.

Buying school food is an indoctrination to fast food, which the lefties are apparently against also. But that's lefty logic for you.

Funny thing is that the kids hate this Cr*p they cook. A waste of money that ends up in the garbage. How many elite libs would eat this swill?

Plus I see some schools send a weekend supply of food home with the children in opaque backpacks. Opaque so the other kids won't ridicule them. Perhaps schools will be providing clothing and toiletries and one day and free place to sleep and spend the night and weekends, too. Then the parents can really sleep in. Then since they were raised like that when the students grow up they will automatically place their offspring in the government system, too.

How things have changed. When I was a kid in the 60's going to School in Tacoma I was the only kid that I knew of getting a free lunch in my elementary. It was given to our family for 2-years because my Dad was critically injured at work spending 6-months in the hospital and another year in rehab before returning to work full-time. I was teased by the other students for getting the free lunch, now from what I here it is becoming the norm.
