They could save all kinds of money by eliminating school lunches. How did we get so entangled in all of this nonsense in the first place? Let the students bring their own lunches.

How about this idea....”Bring your own damn lunch.” It’s a school, not a restaurant.

Nannyism sort of reminds me of people that are on tons of medications and yet their health keeps continuously going downhill even faster not trealizing that their medication might be their problem in the first place...

Exactly. When I was a kid there were things I would not eat at gun point. All these idiots are doing is making kids food phobic. We are going to have all kinds of eating disorders.

We really need to start grabbing these elitists kids and making them go to church and eat bacon, then maybe these idiots will leave us alone.

And breakfasts. One of my favorite common scenes was in some of the schools where everyone was so poor they had to be given free breakfast and lunch. Some kids would get the breakfast, throw it in the trash, and sit in the cafeteria with their bags of McDonald's.

Has anyone noticed that obesity and childhood diabetes have exploded since the kids have been force-fed two of their free daily meals?

The whole assumption of feeding growing children the same thing at the same time is insane. Different children have differnt needs, based on age, size, activity level, food preferences, growth spurts,....

Back when I was in elementary school, the school didn’t have a kitchen. We had to bring lunch from home, because there was no lunch served at school.

If they are giving food which kids won’t eat, what’s the point? I know we’re supposed to be liberal, and say that some kids don’t get fed at home and school is the only place they get fed. That’s another discussion altogether. But maybe school lunch programs are just an inefficient bureaucracy, which is not accomplishing any good goals.
