At least Reagan wanted kids to have ketchup because it's concentrated tomato.

Follow the money. Someone gets a bonus for “saving” the school money (which can now be used to hire more administrators). /s

I doubt that the people pontificating about “only two packets” have never served lunch duty in a school.

Your government wants you to be healthy to reduce gov spending on healthcare.

That way they have more money for their pensions.

Back in the Horn & Hardart automat cafeteria days legend has it that patrons would take the free catsup (ketchup) and the free hot water intended for tea and make soup with it.

From what I have seen from my own children attending our local public schools, there a minority of parents who are always aggrieved, always a victim, always ready to raise a stink for their “babies,” about ridiculous issues - like ketchup.

Yet these same fools will never monitor or utter a peep about serious academic things - why certain AP courses were eliminated from the school, how course curricula may have changed, what government-required test will be used for calculating a grade, academic standards, etc...

They are the drones of the nanny-state.

I didn’t like Ketchup as a kid, so there must be others who don’t, so get the kids who don’t want ketchup to get some and give it to those who do..............

Burger King won’t give you any unless you demand it from the cashier.

What brand is the ketchup? I’m guessing it’s not Heinz. We know which Democrat benefits from Heinz sales.

Parent Tim Petrou called the condiment cap "a little ridiculous." He said kids "should be allowed to have ketchup."

My kid should be allowed to have all the ketchup he wants. If he throws away three packs of ketchup what’s the big deal? It don’t cost nothin.

Government is paying for it so what do I care?

The Free Lunch Program was a BIG mistake from the beginning. If people are not responsible for their children’s welfare, feeding and clothing they become less interested in their welfare.

Just look at this issue in the sense of parents being responsible for their children. Someone that is not the child’s parent (the school) is trying to limit the amount of food that their child will receive at someone else’s expense (tax payers) and parents are outraged.

Why should any parent be upset that anyone is declining to feed their child if the parent is not paying for that food?

Two packets equal 8 carbs which comes from sugar. What happened to the outrage that kids are fat and eat too much sugar?

They should be outraged over the lack of proper education.

Our local school banned ketchup packets when the boys decided it’d be fun to sneak them into the restroom and squirt them everywhere and put them under the seat so when someone sat down they squirted on the person.

Amazing what people get worked up about these days.

When I went to school, lunch was a ho-hum affair. Many of us brought our own lunches and didn't even eat the cafeteria food. Used to tote around a Partridge Family lunchbox with a peanut butter sandwich, a banana, a Twinkie and a thermos full of milk.

No Ketchup for me.

Check the ingredients on those Ketchup packets....

It ain't the same as what's in the Ketchup bottle.
