2nd N.C. Mother Says Daughter’s School Lunch Replaced for Not Being Healthy Enough
The Blaze ^ | February 17, 2012 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Posted on 02/18/2012 9:32:18 AM PST by NCjim

North Carolina officials have said there was a misunderstanding when a preschooler’s homemade lunch was sent home for not meeting certain nutritional requirements, but now a second mother from the same school has come forward exclusively to The Blaze to say the same thing happened to her daughter.

Diane Zambrano says her 4-year-old daughter, Jazlyn, is in the same West Hoke Elementary School class as the little girl whose lunch gained national attention earlier this week. When Zambrano picked Jazlyn up from school late last month, she was told by Jazlyn’s teacher that the lunch she had packed that day did not meet the necessary guidelines and that Jazlyn had been sent to the cafeteria.

The lunch Zambrano packed for her daughter? A cheese and salami sandwich on a wheat bun with apple juice. The lunch she got in the cafeteria? Chicken nuggets, a sweet potato, bread and milk.

“She never eats breakfast or lunch at the school,” Zambrano said of her daughter during an interview with The Blaze. “We always wake up early and make her lunch.”

1 Milk,
2 servings of fruit/vegetables
2 servings of grains/breads
2 servings of meats/meat alternatives

Milk=’s one of the worst causes of allergic reactions that are often undiagnosed and can play a major role in reducing cognitive thinking and causing many sicknesses.

Grains/breads- in addition to a growing number of celiac diagnosis and causes many physical problems leading to absences when undiagnosed.

Meats/ -lunch meats contain many preservatives like sulfides which in the extreme can cause life threatening symptoms or asthma like symptoms also leading to loss of school time.

Can’t we just trust the parents to determine what foods a child is best suited to eat? One size does not fit all.

So another incident had happened a month before and the principal sent home a note about it and SIGNED THE DAMN NOTE???

And then when the second incident happened, the same principal LIED and said he didn’t know who it was that gestapoed the child’s lunch?

Why isn’t this principal being held accountable? If my child was involved and this guy was saying he didn’t know of anyone who was around my kid, I would sue him into oblivion for allowing an UNKNOWN STRANGER within reach of my child. I would follow him to hell and make sure anyone who even looks like him knows what a POS he is.

Of course they haven’t thought about it.

FrogDad is allergic to latex. There are several fruits and vegetables that the body mistakes for latex. Kiwi, strawberries, bananas, tomato, potato, WHEAT, and more.

Thinking back to what my friend couldn’t eat, I’ll bet that was his issue, too.

Gross. I’ll never eat another chicken nugget.
I’m surprised they didn’t add the feathers for fiber.

Absolutely. It is not the govt's business to monitor what's in any child's school lunch box. Unless the child is bringing something illegal in (like a can of beer), it's not the teacher's business, either.

Strictly speaking, I think the beer would come under the grain category and would be allowable under this programs guidelines.

This is what results from socialized medicine... your personal health and lifestyle become everyone else’s business. No-one wants to pay for someone else’s excesses, habits, or depravity. Just wait. If Obamacare stays law, you will soon be told not only what to eat, but what to drive, what to do, and how to do it... all in the name of saving the taxpayers from the having to bear the cost of your individuality.

They get grants and special monies for playing food Nazi

That's how it works. The school is required to provide the meals and they are reimbursed a portion of the expense for each one they sell. The authorities may well be despicable, but they know what they're doing.

After all, breaking down the family is a long, long process.

Why isn’t this principal being held accountable?

Affirmative action?

He clearly is not aware that nutritional assessments are not done on one meal.
