No ass whooping but the last thing you might see would be the little red light on your chest emanating from their glocks.

Cafeterias should provide free HIGH quality Vegan foods. The best ingredients, the BEST non milk chocolate chip cookies. Vegan cheese pizza. FRESH veggie juice from a noisy juicerator. Choices of almond, coconut, rice, soy, hazelnut, hemp milk. Yay team ! Nutrition. If kiddies want junk, they can eat it at HOME.

The State's agent inspects the lunchbox and tells the little girl her lunch does not meet the States criteria. Are you kidding me?

This is modern day liberalism at it's finest. It is unfortunate that so many big government liberals are building the nanny state with our tax dollars. They believe that only the government knows what's best for you and your kids.

Just remember, those lunch inspectors are paid from YOUR TAX DOLLARS.

Well, that's good news. At least these idiots can only impact one school district.

The "lunch inspectors," from what I read in the article which is linked, work for the school. Are you suggesting North Carolina has gone "liberal"?

Still no sources, no names, no more info...but Rush picked the story up and said it's Michelle Obama's fault so this should be fun.

Check your emails, I sense spam coming.

In my district our elementary schools (k-5) DO NOT HAVE FOOD SERVICE which I think is a fantastic idea. Parents and kids have the option of brown bagging it or there is a parent volunteer system which they bring in hot lunches daily. You order/ pay in advance for which day(s) you want to particpate (Chinese Chicken broccoli & rice, Pizza, bagel/ sliced turkey, etc)...

So the district saves money by not having to construct, maintain, insure, and stock a kitchen/ serving area, no need to pay and pension the union lunch ladies either.

They direct the savings to enrichment programs: Foreign language starting in Kindergarten, Stringed instruments starting grade 2, Jr. Detective (reading comprehension, research, clue & fact finding). It also benefits the local economy (The Chinese place can guarantee 400 Chicken & broccoli orders every Wednesday, pizza place, order for 50 pies every Friday, etc.)

Less waste in food area (kids are provide with what they're parents pack for them), and if there is a specific need for to meet the highest magnitude of nutrition, it's on the parents dime, not the public's dime.

Could you imagine what it might cost to dish out poached organic chicken, edemame, fresh bean sprouts, brown rice and a glass of almond milk if it were (from truck to tray) required to pass through unionized hands???
