Submitted by StevenNelson on Tue, 02/14/2012 - 18:04Four-year-old girl brings a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, potato chips and apple juice in her packed lunch from home. But that meal didn’t meet with approval from the government agent who was on site inspecting kids’ lunches that day.

hey, if this girl can eat chicken nuggets...
and nothing else to the age of 17,
then why should the government care if they're good or bad for you? You'll be on your way outta school by then. They won't have to worry about the aftereffects.

I see a lot of emotional comments below
and not a lot of substance.
But let's be honest here.
Neither the brown-bag meal listed above or the "state-approved" meals were/are healthy for anyone, child or adult.
Neither one.
But what I'm curious about is...at what point SHOULD someone step in to help?
What if the parent send the Kid to school with just a snickers bar and some skittles??
To some this is "food" BUT to me that would be child abuse.
A man who has hate in his heart is not a free man
to some you are a fool...
to others you are just an idiot...
to me, you are a distraction!
its 'cos I owe ya, my young friend...
Rockin' the FREE world in Tennessee since 1957!
Seriously how many brainwashed people do we have here??
What the heck, in the above comment deserved a vote down???
What is so bad about the hypothetical questions I raised?
You people think parents should be able to feed their kids candy instead of real food?
How bout crack cocaine, should parents be able to give THAT to their kids too?
Libertarianism means to me: "do as you wish, without causing others harm"
So, how is feeding a child candy (or crack for that matter) instead of food not causing harm to a child who doesn't know better??
You people can hate the government all you want but can we still use logic here?
A man who has hate in his heart is not a free man
i voted it down
why did I think it deserved a vote down?
Firstly neither of these lunched were healthy? really? sandwich and fruit is now unhealthy? we must eat tofu squares and salads?
then you move on to
Giving a kid candy is child abuse!!!??! its not healthy but I am pretty sure abuse is generally ummm hitting or starving not fattening up. I remember when I was that young my mommy said if I studied hard and got a good grade on my spelling test I could bring whatever I wanted for my lunch. I only got to do it a few times but on those days you would call my mom a child abuser?
Libertarianism means whatever honestly i don't care at all I am not a libertarian and neither is Dr Paul he is really more of a republican
we can still use logic, but we should not use the government to enforce that you must use good logic then its not called good logic its called being forced

You seem to have a lot of mis-info about health. These might help ya a bit.
Healthy eating is NOT a Liberal agenda...and I don't eat tofu, it has industrial grade chemicals in it!
Eat what you want and enjoy life, but at least know what's healthy and whats not!
I am not calling on Government for anything BTW. It's the government that teaches people like you that the food pyramid is for good health, rather than helping powerful groups like the Dairy Lobby.
Good luck!

I gave you a minus one. Then a plus one. Don't hate the voters. Hate the silly American Idol system of voting for comments we have here. Emotion over thinking. Questions get voted down, the truth gets voted down, and cheer leading comments gets voted up regardless of substance. "Weade is my hero!" +12 "Weade coined the term compassionate conservative and co-wrote a book with Bush where he praised the president." -12
I disagree with your assertion that at any point whatsoever the government should step in. As soon as we cross that bridge it becomes the job of some bureaucrat to make arbitrary decisions about your kids that they will then force on others. It should be up to friends, family, and concerned citizens to try and inform the parents and urge them to make the right decisions. Crack... well, somebody should smack the parents for that one.
I think there is an issue with libertarianism and children that you have highlighted pretty well. It came up again in a thread here when discussing a judge spanking his child. As long as the state considers parents owners of their children and responsible for anything they do I don't think the government should have any say whatsoever in their upbringing. If they want to give children all the rights of an adult, then parents should no longer be legally responsible for them in any way.
NOTE: I am not advocating violence in any way. The content of the post is for intellectual, theoretical, and philosophical discussion. FEDS, please don't come to my house.
I have never called for the FEDS or the Gov't to step in
thank you for your reply btw.
A lot of people respond emotionally to posts and see what they want to see. Apparently "We" are not different than any other group, in that respect.

Individuals who were near the child would notice.
If a child was being starved and sent to school without food, the people close to the child, ie teachers, other parents, or friends would be much more effective at responding than a Federal Bureaucracy or School Lunch Inspector.
The school system has not done a good job feeding America's children. What's served in a typical school cafeteria is no better than fast food. The main reason why school districts are taking more and more control over feeding students is because there's lots of money involved in the meal programs and big food contracts. It's not because they care about the kids and want to protect them from "abuse."
Im not saying the FEDs should come in and mandate our lives
I get all of what you are saying and agree.

"But what I'm curious about is...at what point SHOULD someone step in to help?"
You mean, at what point should someone step in and tell another how to eat and/or feed their children? Never. The government doesn't "help" anyone but themselves.
"What if the parent send the Kid to school with just a snickers bar and some skittles??"
What if the government felt it had the authority to tell people what is and what is not acceptable to eat? Furthermore, this shouldn't even be an issue since public education shouldn't exist given that the DoE is unconstitutional, as is the DoA.
"To some this is "food" BUT to me that would be child abuse."

I think you are missing what I was saying
also the questions I was posing were for a discussion. I wasn't looking for talking points. I was posing hypothetical questions which are relevant, no matter what government we have in place

Remember that the source of real Poverty
is the Federal Reserve debt based fiat monetary system. It was brought into existence to benefit the rich at the expense of the poor. The rich have become richer and the poor have become poorer.
This justifies the welfare boondoggles that exist mainly to line the pockets of the wealthy once again. The food scam is just one of the ways the cartels who control food production generate enormous profits but more importantly control what we eat...if we allow them to.

This is all good.
This kind of interference by government agencies that are all ultimately controlled under the UN like Codex Alimentarius, i.e. outside U.S. control, can only help our campaign to wake the American people up.

The Nanny State is well advanced in the UK and the people here are virtually comatose, with the occasional twitch when the government momentarily does something truly outlandish, then it's all back to sleep again.
Of course we have organisations that are calling out for less government control but they are very much in the minority; they may even be controlled opposition for all I know. The globalists have had Britain in their clutches for much longer so the conditioning of the people is much more advanced. The same is true of other countries in the EU and this is why I believe Ron Paul has a following in these nations. We all need to be liberated.

Who the hell knows what kind of GMO and chemical poisons are in those processed chicken nuggets... a great way for the state to put more things into your child that you don't know about.
Fred T. Gates in 1903 wrote an "occasional letter" to the General Education Board organized by John D. Rockefeller. Following is a quotation from that letter:
"We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning, or of science. We have not to raise up from among them authors, editors, poets or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians nor lawyers, doctors, preachers, statesmen, of whom we have an ample supply."
Occasional Letter No.1, The General Education Board, 1903, organized by J.D. Rockefeller, with Fred T. Gates, and Andrew Carnegie as a trustee. Letter written by Fred T. Gates.

The only thing kids are
The only thing kids are learning in school these days is revisionist history & subservience.
And if you try to talk to people who think this is "progress" they will start telling you how healthier we will be yada yada yada.
When I have children I doubt I'll send them to public shcool, but if I did I can see myself stapling a piece of paper to the brown lunch bag reading :
DON'T TOUCH MY CHILD'S FOOD, IT'S CALLED THEFT !
AND DON'T TRY TO MAKE ME PAY FOR CAFETERIA FOOD (with the weight of the government behind you), IT'S CALLED EXTORTION !

The sad truth
I would like to say that if that happened to my child I would freak out and scream "FOUL" to everyone who would listen. Then after thinking about it...what would happen then. Probably child protective services and other agencies would become real interested in how I'm raising my children. I would never fight the system if it meant I could lose control of my ability to raise my children. As is, if my child is sick for 3 or more days without a call to the school the state sends a very ominous letter telling about the different ways they will intervene into our family. If the government goes after parents, the government will win.
Blue Republican
Maybe you should scream "FOWL"
as in "where is it", since I'm pretty sure that chicken nuggets are mostly something other than bird meat. : )

Hot Lunch
I mentioned this to a friend of mine who is a teacher and she told me that that many of the kids that come to school in poor neighborhoods don't get any hot food at home or are very hungry when they show up for school. I was really surprised by this, it took me back this is very sad. Many times they send the leftovers home with the school kids. Such a very sad situation.
If I hear another politician say we are the richest country on earth yet children are not getting a proper meal..it makes me want to puke. You can't be the richest country on earth and be 16 Trillion in the hole.
Also I kind of don't believe this article just from my experience. Most teachers have so much other stuff on their plate they wouldn't really go to this length. I sent my daughter to school without USDA food guidelines in her lunchbox and never had a problem. She loves peanut butter and jelly.

Don't worry
The government is there to help us. If this cannot get people to wake up, I do not have any hope that anything will. It;s only okay to eat state approved lunches, huh? Seems the government wants a monopoly on everything, the teachings of the Catholic Church and what services they provide, what lightbulbs we use, what food kids eat, the list just never ends.
I didn't even think chicken nuggets were
good for you..fried greasy little turds, aren't they?
