It takes a Nanny State to raise a child.
Parents…back…away…from…your…children.
Ze Obama Regime’s Food Nazis vill be obeyed.
A mother in Hoke County complains her daughter was forced to eat a school lunch because a government inspector determined her home-made lunch did not meet nutrition requirements. In fact, all of the students in the NC Pre-K program classroom at West Hoke Elementary School in Raeford had to accept a school lunch in addition to their lunches brought from home.
NC Pre-K (before this year known as More at Four) is a state-funded education program designed to “enhance school readiness” for four year-olds.
The mother, who doesn’t wish to be identified at this time, says she made her daughter a lunch that contained a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, apple juice and potato chips. A state inspector assessing the pre-K program at the school said the girl also needed a vegetable, so the inspector ordered a full school lunch tray for her. While the four-year-old was still allowed to eat her home lunch, the girl was forced to take a helping of chicken nuggets, milk, a fruit and a vegetable to supplement her sack lunch.

The mother, who lives in Fayetteville, sent a statement to state Rep. G.L. Pridgen (R-Robeson) detailing her complaint. Pridgen says he was shocked to hear it. Pridgen has since learned this is a nationwide practice based on federal guidelines.An assistant to Pridgen says the girl’s grandmother was also upset and asked, “This isn’t China, is it?”
Tyrannical FLOTUS Fat Czar would approve.
Michelle Obama: “we can’t just leave it up to the parents.”
“Cede the children, feed the state.” Chicago public schools have ALREADY banned lunches brought from home:
There’s nothing wrong with encouraging our children to eat healthier, of course. There’s nothing wrong with well-run, locally based and parent-driven efforts. But as I’ve noted before, the federal foodie cops care much less about students’ waistlines than they do about boosting government and public union payrolls.
In a little-noticed announcement several months ago, Obama health officials declared their intention to use school lunch applications to boost government health care rolls. Never mind the privacy concerns of parents.
Big Government programs “for the children” are never about the children. If they were, you wouldn’t see Chicago public school officials banning students from bringing home-packed meals made by their own parents. In April, The Chicago Tribune reported that “unless they have a medical excuse, they must eat the food served in the cafeteria.” The bottom line? Banning homemade lunches means a fatter payday for the school and its food provider.
Remember: The unwritten mantra driving Mrs. Obama’s federal school lunch meddling and expansion is: “Cede the children, feed the state.” And the biggest beneficiaries of her efforts over the past three years have been her husband’s deep-pocketed pals at the Service Employees International Union. There are 400,000 workers who prepare and serve lunch to American schoolchildren. SEIU represents tens of thousands of those workers and is trying to unionize many more at all costs.

GOVERNMENT HAS NO RIGHT TO TELL OR FORCE YOUR KIDS WHAT TO EAT, WHEN TO EAT, ETC. JUST ONE MORE THING FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO CONTROL.
Home schooling is the answer, but hard for working parents.
Big brother will climb in bed with us soon, Orwell was a few years off.
Home schooling isn’t safe from the food nazis. They are required to meet the same standards as the state indoctrination centers… I mean schools.
With all the propagandizing over “contraception” these days, the government already has one foot in your bed. They’re just waiting for the free morning after pills before they put the rest of their anatomy in there too. Then you’ll see the real screwing begin.
