Mom didn't put a vegetable in her kid's lunch because the kid will not eat vegetables outside of Mom's presence.
I know we disagree on the role of government, but we have to agree that not even the nanny state can legislate a kid to like vegetables.
ps how delicious is the irony that the child's lunch is taken away according to health guidelines and replaced by, wait for it, chicken nuggets.
I am humming the Star-Spangled Banner as I type this.
