Source: Neal Boortz http://www.boortz.com/ GOVERNMENT REACHES INTO YOUR CHILD'S SCHOOL LUNCHBOX http://www.boortz.com/nealznuz.htm By Neal Boortz How would you like to receive a letter from your child's school informing you that you must meet certain federal guidelines if you opt to send your child to school with a lunch you fixed at home? Well, the parents of children in the Oak Meadow Montessori School [Gwinnett County, Georgia] received just such a letter last week. The letter contained some fluff about Thanksgiving celebrations and dropping your kids off at school --- then it got around to school lunches. Here is the pertinent paragraph. Spelling and punctuation errors have been left untouched. "As you know, we will begin providing catered lunches, five days per week, starting Monday. In last week's Parent Communication Envelope, we included information regarding the menu for the week of November 27th through December 1st. The catered lunches are designed to satisfy the USDA food program requirement. You may still choose to send in your child's lunch. However, you must provide the appropriate servings from the recommended food groups. If you do not, we will be responsible for providing your child with a "well balanced" lunch. Lunches ordered in advance are available for $3 per day. Lunches that we need to provide because you forgot to bring one, or because you did not provide the proper choices to satisfy the United Stated Daily Recommend Allowances for lunch, will be billed to your account at a rate of $5 per lunch. Please make sure to review the enclosed flier regarding our new lunch box requirements." OK . so now you're wondering just what the Imperial Federal Government requirements for these officially approved school lunches are. Well, that's not really the point here . but just to satisfy your curiosity, here's what the Oak Meadow School says the parents must provide in a lunch brought from home: FOOD GROUPING 3 6 years old 6 12 years old 1 serving milk (provided) ½ cup 1 cup 1 serving meat or meat alternative 1 ½ ounces 2 ounces 2 servings fruit and/or vegetable ½ cup 2/4 cup (each) 1 serving bread or equivalent ½ slice 1 slice Then you have a big list of approved fruits and vegetables and meats and breads. You might be interested to know that Cheese Whiz is an acceptable meat substitute. Look . don't go making irate phone calls to the Oak Meadow school. This standard applies to ALL schools. They're just enforcing it. Can you believe it? The Imperial Federal Government of the United States is now using its agents in our government and private schools to peer into those lunches you prepare for your children to see if you've done it right --- right according to government bureaucrats. This particular school will charge you five bucks if you've done it wrong and will "supplement" your child's lunch with officially approved food. Can they do this in your home? Hell? Who knows? If the government can peer into your child's lunchbox at a private school, why can't that same government come into your home at dinner time to make sure you're serving your child a government approved dinner? And why stop with your child? Is there some special provision in the U.S. Constitution that limits the government's snooping to only your child's lunch? How soon will they be checking out what YOU have for lunch? As government continues to grow this might be what your lunches with clients are like in the future. "Can I take your order sir?" "Yes, I would like a New York Strip, medium, with a baked potato and one glass of iced tea." "And what would you like for your other vegetable or fruit sir?" "Nothing. Just the steak, potato and tea please." "Sorry sir. You must order another vegetable or some fruit." "Says who?" "It's a government regulation sir. We have a federal inspector back in the kitchen that will review your order. If you don't order another fruit or vegetable he's going to chose one for you and you'll have to pay for it." "You can't force me to eat anything I don't want to eat!" "Oh no sir. We can't force you. The government guidelines say we can only strongly encourage you to clean your plate. But you will have to pay for it." "The hell with this. I'm going somewhere else." "Won't do any good, sir. The same rules went into effect everywhere today. You think it's bad here, you ought to see the problems they're having next door at McDonalds." "OK, OK --- bring me a salad them." "Fine, sir. Now what about your milk and bread selections?" It makes you wonder. How in the hell did this nation survive for hundreds of years without the federal government checking to see what you're fixing for your children's lunch. This is what you get when you have hoards of marginally-employable bureaucrats with limited job skills sucking down government paychecks week after week --- and looking for something to do with their time. =========================================================================== Public Education System vs Christian Home Schooling http://www.ordination.org/homeschool.htm A form for those who want a 'Opt Out Form' for Public School http://www.ordination.org/optout.htm "The American Dream" Fire 'em all! http://www.apfn.org/apfn/dream.htm Without Justice, there is JUST_US!
