USDA: Preschooler’s meal was not ‘replaced,’ mom was never charged fee | MyFOX8.com


Bruce Alexander, director of communications and governmental affairs with the USDA, said Wednesday the person inspecting lunches was a “North Carolina Education staff member conducting a review of the child care center.”

“The school thought it had been resolved, apologized to the parent and never charged the parent for a school meal,” he said
Great Followup CK.

Style? LOL

Don't be obtuse.

More like content. Or lack thereof. She didn't even know who she was talking about (the "inspector"). That's not bad reporting style; that's bad reporting.

I don't suppose you have 16+ years of experience as a print journalist?

THANK YOU! Finally, somebody got off their azz and checked out the story.

Funny, though, that it's not exactly as first reported, but that's the nature of reporting and why we shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Just like NC, chicago has guidelines.....it is a state issue.
You said this is happening in Chicago. Can you provide a link that shows that lunches brought from home are being inspected in Chicago schools? Or would you rather just admit to making an inaccurate statement?

1984 is here folks....................the state disrespects parents - and actually believe that young members of society (children) are property of the state - much like cattle in a field...heaven forbid that the young animal eats the wrong food...what use will these potential slaves be if they do not grow up big and strong - Don't you just hate it when some people in so-called power - want to own not only you but now your kids!

For a story that had been written two hours prior to me finding it, I had to dig for it.
