The State's agent inspects the lunchbox and tells the little girl her lunch does not meet the States criteria. Are you kidding me?
If you like this kind of government control vote for Obama.
Preschooler’s Homemade Lunch Replaced with Cafeteria “Nuggets”

So, one elementary school cafeteria worker in NC marks a trend in totalitarianism, according to the Obamaphobes who want to blame it on the first lady.

I've heard this kind of reaction termed, "pole-vaulting over tick turds."

And it's a symptom of right wing psychosis.

Or ... some really lousy reporting, and a mom who wants her 15 minutes of fame.

The reported incident revolves around state regulation that requires all lunches in pre-Kindergarten programs to meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines.

Don't bother. They're not interested in reading the links they themselves provide.

The "fed's" are doing nothing of the sort. The USDA set guidelines; North Carolina's department of education has chosen to follow them.

Our liberty is slipping away a little at a time
1. mandate to buy health ins
2. recess appointments when senate was not in recess
3. regulations that hurt businesses
4. redistribution our wealth
5. forcing our children to eat what the gov't says
6. forcing food companies and restaurants to provide only accepted foods
7 forcing Catholic hospitals and schools to provide things that are against their teachings
8. no smoking outside in parks
9. trying to tax out energy use and keep track of all the energy we use
10 telling us what light bulbs to use

If you don't see it you must be blind.

Notice the "s" on "preschoolers" in the title. I've noticed that's a common thing to do when one incident occurs, people want it to look like an epidemic for some reason.

Then perhaps you should read the link, 78 pages I think it is. I mean that is what a "real journalist" does, you know...get the facts and all. That may not work, as you can't get your arms around the fact that this did happen, not once but twice.

Already a fact of life in most states.

2. recess appointments when senate was not in recess

Perfectly Constitutional and it's been done for decades.

3. regulations that hurt businesses

A necessity which we've just about always had.

4. redistribution our wealth

This is something new?

5. forcing our children to eat what the gov't says

You take the government's money, you eat what they say.

6. forcing food companies and restaurants to provide only accepted foods

Huh?

7 forcing Catholic hospitals and schools to provide things that are against their teachings

20+ states do the same things and nobody is calling that an infringement on their religion.

8. no smoking outside in parks

9. trying to tax out energy use and keep track of all the energy we use

What do you mean by "tax out energy?"

10 telling us what light bulbs to use

Yep, that's dumb. Just like telling us we have to use commodes ya have to flush 3 times to "save" water.

[quote=stillkit;23042944]Already a fact of life in most states.
Not for health insurance


Perfectly Constitutional and it's been done for decades.
Only when the senate IS in recess


A necessity which we've just about always had.
Not to the extent this idiot is doing


This is something new?
This idiot is creating a class war


You take the government's money, you eat what they say.
They take your money and then give a little back so they can control you

Huh?
You're kidding right? No trans fats, remove salt and sugar. smaller size portions


20+ states do the same things and nobody is calling that an infringement on their religion.
What a state can do is different from what the feds can do. I guess you are ok with a state no allowing birth control then?



What do you mean by "tax out energy?"
Tax our energy use. Have you heard of Cap and Trade? They want to put meters in our homes and on our cars to keep track of our energy use.


Yep, that's dumb. Just like telling us we have to use commodes ya have to flush 3 times to "save" water.
