This seems like a one time problem that is easily correctable. I think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill Cawlin.

This is a problem that goes to the fundamental issue of intrusive government programs. The incompetence of the administrators of such programs as well as their corruption is legendary. This particular story is just another in a long list of decades worth of evidence to this truth. To consider the entirety of the issue a single day's action by an incompetent inspector is the height of foolishness when considering the issue of expanding government and government programs.

So your example of corruption and incompetence proving how big government is bad is a situation where a lunch lady determines that a kid's lunch doesn't meet standards(correctly btw) and then screws up by charging the kid for a full lunch instead of just supplementing the kid's lunch with an apple or something?
You are making mountains out of molehills. It is comical to watch though so keep it up.
You are intentionally downplaying it because you're a big, intrusive government supporter - no surprise given that you're a government employee. It's comical to watch you try to spin it as if the issue is about this post when the issue is clearly about the inability to sustain the big government desires of you and people like you.
Yes, believing that the government should provide a side of fruit or even a more substantial meal to kids without is a clear demonstration I am for big government intervention.
Your stupidity knows no bounds.

Not too long ago there was a thread about a largely Latino school in Chicago that prohibited all students from bringing any food to school. A reporter went to the school to observe lunch which included tamales and an apple. The reporter watched as full tray after full tray was dumped into the trash bin with only the milk and apple being consumed. An investigation was instituted as to why this rule was decided on and who the food service contract went to and possible relationship to the principal/and or board members. The parents are of course furious, many of whom are showing up on the playground to sneak food to their kids so they won't go hungry throughout the day. Its not wise to stand between a Latino mom and her babies' digestive tracts. Viva America!
I can't imagine anything worse to feed kids than chicken nuggets which are essentially balls of fat and salt. With all of the focus on teaching proper eating habits to our fairly obese childhood population its inconceivable that a school would choose to have these on their menu. They should replace them with much healthier turkey sandwhiches.

Yes a lot of government IS intrusive. I'll be the first to agree with you. I don't think this is one of those instances. There is no one brush to paint all with. As I said this one is easily correctable. I can't seem to find the outrage here except mildly at the incompetence of this single individual.

There's a school lunch inspector?
Good lord. 
I'm sure that same school district threatens to cut their music program every time their budget comes up.

See Cawlin, that is a much better demonstration of an argument against government making choices.
Look at how they make choices over text books too. Those are real issues. Not this BS.

This is from the other thread on ACF which I didn't realize had been posted before I posted this one here:

This example makes it pretty clear that the state has more power over us than it should.
We should change that.

That has been my argument from the first post.
