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

The nanny state bureaucrats have way overstepped their bounds now. To tell a parent what they can and can't pack in their kids lunch goes way too far. I read this article and was just totally disgusted at the arrogance of these people.

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.

Very strange! I could see a point if they replaced the chips/crisps with something a little more healthy but to replace the sandwich with fat filled mechanically recovered fried chicken sludge is amazing! Presume they left the chips as there is plenty of fat in them!

The morning radio program I listen to was also talking about this story. It is absurd is about all I can say. It sounded like the parents packed the child a pretty well balanced meal. Deep fried chicken parts, that HAS to be healthier than a turkey and cheese sandwich.

I agree with you 100%. The outrage in NC also shows that the parents seemed not to know that this was coming, or at least didn't know the extent that the government was willing to go to enforce the new rules.

The seeming insanity of the replacement food shows the same bungling that is typical of anything the government oversees. Even if the food had been better, she didn't eat it. How much nutrition do you get from food still on the plate?

Well, get ready, Obamacare will soon give the government the authority to do the same thing to the rest of us. "Eat the way we tell you, live your life the way we tell you or no health care coverage."

It boggles my mind that this is happening in the US.

Home made lunch the kid received from its parents looks healthier to me than the nugget lunch porvided by the moron state nutrionist. I guess the nutrionist was bribed by a hambruger chain to push chicken nuggets.

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.

Obama personally took a beer out of my hand and forced me to drink wheat grass. I am voting santorum.

At least he did not make me eat chicken nuggets though.

For once I would like to thank Obama.
