N.C. Food ‘Inspector’ Sends Girl‘s Lunch Home After Determining It’s Not Healthy Enough: http://ur1.ca/87g4t
about 3 months ago from web-
@johnnynull I would hate to see what they would have done with some of the lunches I ate as a kid. Doubly so now.
-
Seriously. I love that chicken nuggets are healthy, and they REQUIRE a grain? Fuck you with a barbed-wire fence.
-
@johnnynull what about when parents want gluten free diets for their children
-
Indeed. And what happens when Asshat in Charge is pro low-fat diets? But I bet if there was a religious basis for the food, that's OK.
-
@johnnynull This whole trend of legislating parenting pisses me off, especialy since I might be a parent one day.
-
@x1101 man, my wife would be looking to BRAWL with anybody who did that with our kids' lunches. Horrible.
-
@jonkulp yeah, mine too. Mrsx1101 is quite fiesty
-
@x1101 Absolutely, + a gajillion all around.
-
@x1101 and if she's like mrsjonkulp she works hard on kids' lunches every day, very careful to make sure it's healthy. She'd be so pissed...
-
@jonkulp well, seeing as we don’t have kids, and I do most of the cooking…
-
@johnnynull yep. *runs to hide just thinking about it* @x1101
-
Oh man, and when the women throw down, shit really hits the fan! /cc @jonkulp
-
@johnnynull yeah. Mrsx1101 plays the angry consumer very well.
-
@x1101 I heard someone say once that there's a big issue w/enforcing healthy foods on people. Sometimes, we get stuff wrong.
-
@johnnynull well sure, and official opinions on these things change, but that was a good lunch that got sent home. Just a dumbass worker.
-
@johnnynull was that article linked from BlackListedNews? Volue is too high, I can’t follow it. /cc @jonkulp
-
@x1101 theblaze.com is the domain name.
-
@jonkulp Since late 1970s, schools seemed to favor their own (nearly inedible) food, oppose brown-bagging. At least in California.
-
@lnxwalt awful. Here they don't mind home lunches. I've had lunch w/daughter, seen many school lunches go in trash almost untouched. :(
-
@johnnynull That’s largely a non-story: see http://ordinary-gentlemen.com/blog/2012/02/15/a-north-carolina-non-troversy/
-
@johnnynull (Of particular note: contains a link to an official North Carolina DCDEE statement which confirms much of it.)
-
+1 ♻ @johnnynull Thanks very much for setting me straight. I feel slightly less rage now. /cc @x1101 @jonkulp
-
@johnnynull I also have much less rage. Fucking link bait. /cc @johnkulp @psquid
