Children are creating their own black markets to trade and sell salt due to First Lady Michelle Obama’s school lunch rules.
During a hearing before the House Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education, chaired by Rep. Todd Rokita (R., Ind.), a school administrator told Congress of the “unintended consequences” of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act.
“Perhaps the most colorful example in my district is that students have been caught bringing–and even selling–salt, pepper, and sugar in school to add taste to perceived bland and tasteless cafeteria food,” said John S. Payne, the president of Blackford County School Board of Trustees in Hartford City, Indiana.
"caught bringing–and even selling–salt, pepper, and sugar in school", how sad that kids need to do it and that the administration even thinks about 'catching' them at it as if it were a crime.
There have been rule-breakers since the first day of school and the article doesn't illustrate anything that hasn't happened before.
I was trading apples for cookies when I was a kid in the late 70's, and my brother and I ate in the cafeteria maybe two or three times a week because my Mom would send us to school with homemade lunches or my Dad would take us home for lunch.
Considering most of our kids are obese and have high sugar & salt levels in their bodies already I am sure if they peed into their cafeteria drinks they would replace the missing salt & sugar in their cafeteria food.
When i was in 5th grade i found a miniature Roulette wheel with a plastic cover over it.At lunch time i was cleaning up. I would be my Schoolboy sandwich against the Apple pie desert before the lunch room lady busted me!
