You can’t have your pudding if you don’t eat your meat!

Re: “Illegal aliens are NOT skinny - check out any Walmart.”

That’s for sure. Here in L.A. my teacher friends report from the vast barrios that little Pedro and Maria are NOT thin — rather, they tend to be quite tubby indeed!

The poor taxpayers foot the bill for free BREAKFAST and LUNCH for the illegals and others deemed ‘poor,’ who merely pick at or toss the food into the trash — and then their ‘guardians’ (many in gang gear) pick them up and take them to the fast food joints across the streets from the schools at 3 p.m.

Cut those programs out — shut down the ‘entitlements’ — WE are broke!

Reminds me of when I was a little kid and they tried to force me to eat the ginger-ale Jello at lunch. Maybe it had pears in it, I don’t recall. I do remember resisting and had to get my folks involved. Not sure if I puked on anyone’s shoes, but I recall gagging a lot. That was a private school so we at least had recourse.

I hate freaking Jello to this day. It is useful for ballistic testing if mixed strong enough ...

I went all 12 years to Catholic schools in Detroit. In neither school was there a cafeteria. If a student didn't live close enough to go home for lunch, the student either brown-bagged it, or went to a nearby bakery and had pastries and chocolate milk for lunch. Somehow or another, we all survived to this day, late 60s or 70 years old.

I am very sorry for your loss, USMCPOP.

How long before they start adding “medicine” to those foods to aid in the kids education? If they haven’t already.

I have wondered if MK Ultra was just a dose finding operation.

“I went all 12 years to Catholic schools...”

I did 11 out of 12. I narrowly survived being hit on the head with a biology book by a Christian Brother. Wasn’t paying attention one day, LOL.

And these are the same people who scream about their rights to have control over their own bodies; yet, they want to take away the rights of parents (and the students) to determine what goes into their children’s bodies while at school. If you looked at Chicago paper’s photo of this, they were serving a pile of unrecognizable goo and calling it an enchilada. The kid in the photo had his face covered and not one kid at the table had eaten the entrée.

A more important point here, however, is the lack of respect some educators have for parents. If they don’t trust them to pack a lunch, they are certainly not letting parents having any input into their children’s education.

Can anyone say “homeschooling”?
