Thread: This burns my bacon! More nanny state bureaucratic nonesense.

I agree, Jeltz. We are both on the same page with this.
I have a school across the street from our home, but drive my son each morning to a school farther away. I see 6 & 8 year olds walking by themselves in the rain with no protection and some cover the distance of a mile and more. Twice in the past 5 years, there have been attempted snatchings of the children across the street.

I had to get myself to school from an early age. I either had to walk, catch, saddle and ride a horse, but heaven was when I was given my first real bicycle, a crappy old second hand dragster, and learnt to ride it. That was freedom!
Maybe the world has changed since then, though. Maybe I need to just train my kids in some of the more deadly techniques of fighting, to ensure they are safe enough to get themselves to school when that time comes.

To top it off the kid's turkey and cheese sandwich was taken and replaced by deep fried chicken parts nuggets in the name of better nutrition. What short bus did they pull this retard nutritionist off of anyway?

Preschooler's Homemade Lunch Replaced With Nuggets | Fox News

If you read between the lines here you can see one more place where the public education system is undermining the authority of parents in order to indoctrinate kids by making the kids think mom and dad don't know what they are doing. This kind of nonsense is exactly why my two went to private school in their elementary years.

I guess I need to revisit the original foxnews article and learn more but
in some states "health care" including nutrition is regulated and licensed.

I would check and then litigate...

Was this person a certified nutritionist or just someone tasked with the job.
Worse was this person self appointed.

I would also establish some bounds based on medical and
religious requirements that the school must comply with.
Wheat, gluten, peanut, nuts.... allergies.

Since they serve and prepare food they also need to have
their health department sanitation inspection on file and posted.

Note that an inspector must open the lunch and inspect the
sandwich and fixing. However the contents of the lunch box
are not known to be sanitary so fresh gloves must be used
as each food item is "touched" and inspected. This is something
that upsets me when I fly. The TSA agent can inspect my
personal kit with grey and dirty rubber gloves. My tooth brush
etc. etc...

Yes and it was also part of the days meal planed by the parent.

To take lunch out of context and place it in isolation is folly.

Someone needs to challenge some of these bogus regulations
as flawed for "fact based" reasons. Law cannot change facts
a law that says rocks are vegetables for example....

The FDA, USDA and friends should not be free to make blunders.

For example a class action for all obese children to shut down
the french fry insanity and yes sugar in soda concessions is in
order. Disclose and discover all the vendor communications....

Coke and Pepsi in grade school... is WRONG.

For the sake of the children, I think we should rename this thread from "Burns my Bacon" to "lightly sautés my pine nuts".

Steamed would be a better option maybe with some spray butter mist.

With a drizzle of balsamic?

We used to call that one "Big Lunch".

It isn't on the menu, but if you ask for it and keep your voice down, and if you are living right, you can still get the 50-piece mcnugget oilfest-in-a-box at good ole Mickey-D's
