at West Hoke Elementary School in Rayford, North Carolina, every student had their lunch box inspected. And I think every student failed in having a nutritious lunch by the agent in charge, which is probably an SEIU union cafeteria worker.

Ping!

This was so XXXXXX, I would have been VERY Hot to say the least. Wake the Hell Up America.

[MEGoody]

Oh good grief. We have to get the Obamas OUT of the WH!!!!

I hate Rush’s “Michelle My Bell” nick name. Not derogatory or degrading. Not funny. No oomph. “Moochelle”, “Michelle the Moocher”, much better.

Just what we need in this country,
more bureaucrats with unaccountable authority
that need to justify their job.

[cork]

I fear that if this would have been my child there would have been an agent getting a severe beatin!!

[True Republican Patriot]

If the Republicans ran Attila the HUN against the MUSLIM Terrorist now occupying the OVAL OFFICE, I would vote for Attila the HUN!! Federal Food Police being paid an average of $134,000 a year to inspect Kid’s Lunch Boxes!!!!!!!
Makes me sick to my stomach!!!

The girl’s mother -- who said she wishes to remain anonymous to protect her daughter from retaliation -- said she received a note from the school stating that students who did not bring a 'healthy lunch' would be offered the missing portions, which could result in a fee from the cafeteria, in her case $1.25.

Sent the "note" back with payment. Include one of these...

Tell them they can keep their "change" as well.

Listen people, this is not about obama. THis is not about the government trying to take away our freedom. This is about money pure and simple.

School lunches are BIG MONEY. They’ve figured out just about every possible way to expand school lunches. They let poor kids eat free. THen they started serving breakfast. Then they started serving supper. There’s no way for them to expand now...UNLESS...they make it MANDATORY...make it impossible for anyone to bring sack lunches with them. Pretty soon they will want to feed your kids on the weekends and during summer break.

IF my kids were still in school here is what I would do. I would sit them down and explain to them why they would not be returning to school and I would tell the school the same thing. Then I would tell them they would be home schooled and that we would be moving to another country and tell them why.

This sh$t is out of control and big fat butt MO is an angry b*tch that needs to keep her nose out of our lives. What OUR kids eat for lunch is none of her damn business and she needs to take a look at her fat butt in a mirror and while she’s at it check out what a little porker her youngest rug rat is.

So we have the food police, obesity police, speech police, helmet police, seatbelt police, carseat police, toilet police, light bulb police, fireplace police (in CA), gun police, mpg police,energy police, plastic bag police (CA)....feel free to add to the list - I’m steaming.

Ok; here is what frustrates me. This is a perfect ball on a tee for any of our conservative candidates to swing at and hit a perfect shot.

You couldn't have a better example of why government is too big and intrusive. Reagan would have used this personal, real example in a debate as a example of what needs fixing.

[ArrogantBustard]

Folks, get your kids out of the government run socialist indoctrination centers.

Starve the beast.

[FreedomNotSafety]

Let’s not forget that public school cafeteria workers are unionized. These rules are a sop to union workers so as to preserve their jobs, wages, and benefits.

If you think this about nutrition or even quality or even the children you are missing the point.

[SandRat]

The pain that would have been raised if it had been a Ham & Cheese sandwich or a PB-n-J.

[denydenydeny]

"A preschooler at West Hoke Elementary School ate three chicken nuggets for lunch Jan. 30 because a state employee told her the lunch her mother packed was not nutritious. The girl’s turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips and apple juice did not meet US 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."

How many WTFs can one sentence generate? I'll just go with the fundamental one, WHY ARE WE PAYING BUREAUCRATS TO INSPECT PRESCHOOLER LUNCHES WHEN WE'RE BROKE?

[wintertime]

Just one more way that government schools resemble prisons.

Prisoners get state issued institutional food. Now kids get state issued institutional food.

The entire **goal** of government schooling is, and always has been, to produce compliant and docile prisoners of the state.

[csmusaret]

I hate headline writers...It was NOT a FEDERAL agent inspecting lunches.
