Lunch Police Raids Preschooler's Meal at West Hoke Elementry.

OH NO, I would have been LIVID!! They would not have been happy to deal with me if they did that to my child. The "food" they serve at schools is gross and far less nutritious then what that mother packed! That pisses me off just thinking about it! Oh hell no!

ok, so 3 chicken nuggets were more healthy than the lunch she brought? that's crazy.

West hike elementary? Lol I'm from raeford... I went to west hoke middle.. But I don't remember west hoke elem!


Anyways, follow the laws ( maybe stupid granted) until they are changed... What are you gonna do. If that's the policy make sure you follow it.

I don't understand how her lunch wasn't healthy enough?
Yet the little girl ate overly processed chicken nuggets and that was it! Makes no sense to me!

 Oh, this is just so f*cked up in so many ways. It sounds to me like the child's mother packed a perfectly suitable lunch. It's not like she packed candy and kool-aid in there. I'd have given them total hell for doing what they did. Since when is 3 frickin' chicken nuggets healthier than what she packed? And seriously, if the mother met the "guidelines" for a packed lunch, her kid wouldn't have eaten the veggies anyway so it would have been a waste. I would have been FURIOUS if this was my kid.

Wow!! I'm outraged at this. Guess I'm going back to get my teaching license to homeschool

 

Idk about that, it was the title of the article. They could of had a typo.

As for the other thing, the government food guidelines are just that, guidelines. They are not the law. And as far as the policy of the school well tecnically she was following it: Bread-Grain, Turkey-Meat/Protein, Cheese-Dairy, Banna- Fruit. Yea, she was missing the veggie, but I think the point is the mother's meal clearly had more nutrtional value then what the school gave her. (So they weren't even following their own policy)  I know how picky kids can be with eating, my son is very picky. And it should be more important that the child actually eats, that should be their first concern.

I Saadi in the article they are laws that the preschools have to follow didn't it?

I'm confused....if I read that right, her lunch did meet the guidelines. One serving of meat: turkey on the sandwich, one serving of milk: cheese on the sandwich, one serving of grain: the bread, two servings of fruit or vegatables: banana and apple juice. So why did they feel the need to force feed her chicken nuggets?? Of course, even if it didn't meet the guidelines, it's still wrong.

Did they ask for permission first? What if that child had some kind of allergic reaction to that chicken nugget? You just can't go around and feed peoples children food because of all the allergies these days. That could of been a lawsuit...
