Groucho, you know as well as I do that its complete folly to believe anything just because its in e-print. Wait a week, wait until more information is obtained and all the facts are in. I read what you posted but don't, as I said, necessarily believe any of it. There is no reason why I should. Its hard for me to believe that a school would give such a young child chicken nuggets to supplement a turkey sandwich. That's ludicrous. Why would they? She or he is not a linebacker for the high school football team. Did they give her anything at all? Is this an example of an over-reaching government? I don't know. I will never be in a position to experience that first hand unless private schools are outlawed.
Wait, what? You wait for the rebuttal and then say "Hey, let's not believe everything on the Interwebs now!"
Bullshit.

The issue with the Latino children is a bigger issue and maybe indicative of fraud. If this happened its indicative of stupid. I still am having a hard time believing that a pre-K kid, meaning younger than 5, would eat a banana, turkey sandwich, milk, and chicken nuggets for lunch unless they were well on the way to joining the legions of obese kids in America.
PS I'm also having a hard time accepting the fact that schools are providing balls of fat and salt to kids while admonishing parents about appropriate nutrition.
My son has the following for his lunch:
2 pieces of rye bread, buttered with a single slice of turkey, ham, smoked salmon or other sliced meat on it.
1/2 banana
4" of cucumber
3 snack (cherry) tomatoes
1 bunch of grapes (usually ~15)
With a 'fruit snack' for later
The other half of the banana
1 kiwi
4 strawberries or half an orange
....he's 3.5 and his lunchbox is empty. When he gets home he has a bowl of yogurt with some oatmeal on top because he's 'starving'.
He's 110 cm (~43.5 inches tall) and 48 pounds (22 kg)
ETA:
Sometimes he gets a small bag of shrimp as a treat too.
That's awesome Darwy. Pics please you haven't posted any in a long time.

A kid is in a special, completely voluntary, pre-K program for poor and special needs kids, which is wholly subsidized by the government. The program tries to make sure the kids have decent lunches, at no charge to the parents. An inspector of the program sees that one of the kids doesn't have a veggie in her home lunch and gets her a school tray, in addition to her lunch. The kid ends up eating only the chicken nuggets...pretty typical for a 4 year old.
And the right wing goes into full /outrage mode!!!!
Some of the comments from my link...
Quote:
This isn’t China. This is the increasingly totalitarian state of Obama. The Communists want control of the children and they seek to dictate every facet of our lives. I hope these parents remove their child from this wretched place, hire an attorney, and tell the USDA and Moochelle Obama to get the he** out of their business.
I think I would have gone up to that school and beaten the dog sh** out of the food Nazi as well as the school administrator. This is absolutely outrageous.

Cant wait until some idiot force feeds a kid a school lunch that they are deathly alergic to, and it kills the kid. Lots of kids are very alergic to peanuts, fish, etc….
You parents would deserve it…. Keep sitting on your couch eating bon bons and watching the stupid MSM news. You deserve what you get for not marching down to that school right now and taking your kids out or DEMANDING something be changed.
Is the life of YOUR 4 year old worth a fight with the USDA and the A-hole control freaks that wear their stupid jackets?
If someone did that to my kid, they would surely die, because I would personally beat them to death. I dont care what 4 letters are on their govt jacket. They would die.

Parents that send their children to government schools have no rights.Teachers can take girls to have an abortion without telling the parents.Children are indoctrinated with socialism.There are more and more parents going to homeschooling becsuse of things like this.
.
.
.
How about fixing the real problem? Mandatory drug testing of teachers in our public schools. I find it incredible that we don’t drug test those individuals that educate our children at least for narcotics.
.
.
.Just keep voting for democrats if this is what you want. It is the crazy democrats who are doing this insanity. You are going to lose every little bit of your liberty and it is going to be democrats who take them.
The funny thing is, the requirements were passed by Bush, in 2004, and approved by a Republican Congress

According to the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 2004, all local education agencies (LEAs) that participate in the National School Lunch Program were required to develop a local wellness policy to address specific nutrition and physical activity needs no later than June 30, 2006. The policy must include the following components: goals for nutrition education, physical activity, and other school-based activities that promote wellness; nutrition guidelines for all food available on campus during the school day; guidelines for reimbursable meals; a plan for measuring and implementing the policy, including designation of one or more persons within the LEA to assess implementation; and community involvement in development of the wellness policy.

He has your eyes and the rest is all Simon...well, the shape of your face too, maybe. God, he's gorgeous and so precious Darwy but you know that. What's he doing in school? What's he learning? What's his focus on? What are they covering with him? Say hello to Simon for me, please. 
PS I see plants!

You mean like the Hillary/Tipper Gore campaign of censorship during the 90's? Yeah, you see confused. 
That was all Tipper....
And the one factor I would have never been able to over look in regards to voting for that ticket. Not that I had any inclination to vote for that ticket to begin with but we digress...

That was one of the (minor) reasons I didn't vote for Gore in 2000.

Groucho I don't read right wing blogs, I don't read left wing blogs. I find them equally ridiculous. The OP is the only website I read, other than out of country news sources, that is not primarily economics focused. My main news sources are Al Jazeera and CNBC in the morning. I don't care what the left wing prints about the right wing, and I don't care about what the right wing prints about the left wing.
