Uneaten food is not nutritional. If nutrition was all that mattered, we’d eat astronaut food and vitamin pills.

I have no doubt that most parents could be feeding their children in a more healthy manner. But nothing is more unhealthy and deadly than government force. In the end we will all be a lot healthier if the government backs off.

What matters the most is who gets to decide which lunch the children eat.

I say the parents should.

Those who think it is the governments decision to make, for the safety of our children, they should be thrown off a high cliff into the sea.

Since there is no single “packed lunch”, shouldn’t it read that packed lunches ‘sometimes’, or ‘can be’, or ‘frequently’, or ‘often ‘ are nutritionally inferior to?

I grew up eating a packed lunch, and yet I somehow managed to survive. Go figure.

Just a reminder that, when it comes to children, government knows best.

Fairly soon there will be trial balloon stories about how the government needs to inspect breakfast and dinner......for the children of course.

In high school, I would go to the school store and buy a pack of Starbursts. Pretty much every day, that was all I ate. Guess what, 25 years later- I am stll here. Still healthy. Still thin. Don’t have diabetes, etc.

Growing up my siblings and I had almost entirely packed lunches consisting of a tuna or peanut butter & jelly sandwich, carrot sticks, apple or orange and purchased milk.

One day my lunch got mixed up with that of our fattest classmate. Her lunch was a bologna sandwich, chips and cookies.

She looked in my lunch bag and scowled at it. So some parents obviously do a better job with lunches but the government has no business making up lunches according to Moochie’s standards.

Researchers say? They say anything these days. Depends on what the present administration wants said and how many grant dollars are involved.

You need to think like a pro-minimum wage liberal.

Cut the government by 75%.

Not enough. Cut by 1/3 each year for 10 years.

Let the chef decide what the kids like to eat. The Principal can step in if it's blatantly unhealthy. This bizarre central planning by the President's wife and Washington bureaucrats is unacceptable.
