School cafeterias to require fruits and vegetables nationwide - The Middletown Press : Serving Middletown, CT

Beginning next school year, students across the country may be in for a shock when they purchase their lunch in the cafeteria.

..... the federal government is requiring students of all ages to buy at least one serving of fresh fruit or vegetable for lunch. Even if they toss the produce into the garbage.

Fresh fruit and vegetable portions will double next year. “Some students don’t take one now, but they will have to,” Eileen Faustich, Milford’s food services director, said Friday. “We can’t let a child go by the cashier without a fruit or vegetable on their tray.”

There’s more, a lot more, in the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act.

Next year, students can buy only nonfat flavored milk or 1 percent white milk. Half of the grains must be “whole” next year. In 2013-14, all products must be whole grain. School cafeterias must offer green and orange leafy vegetables, and drastically reduce sodium use over the next three years. Trans-fats are banned.

If a student refuses to take the fruit or vegetable, the cafeteria employees will have to charge an a la carte fee, which typically is higher because the lunch will not be reimbursable under federal guidelines.

Chicago already bans lunches brought from home, in North Carolina home lunches are inspected to be sure they meet federal guidelines.

That is dumb. Forcing kids to buy it isn't going to make them consume it.

It is amazing how much food we waste in this country. Everyday I encounter people that would kill for our "unwanted" food.

I did in my earlier post. Can you link where all of Chicago bans lunches from home? Can you link where NC searches every lunch brought from home? If not then you're using cherry-picked examples in an attempt to make a larger point which is false

I just watched it last night. Pretty interesting technology used during the mapping of the wreckage and reconstruction. Worth a look.

You're right about the blame, though.

I mean, the same board putting up the show trial also thought it was a good idea to have 15 lifeboats for a 45000 ton cruise liner.

Yeah, right? I think it was something like 40 boats that held 700 folks. But a lot more than that didn't make it, of course.

If it was from a history channel show, they would have implemented that aliens, alligator hunting, and that the Captain believed he was could actually drive the ship over a road of icebergs were the cause for the wreck of the Titanic. Also, someone would try to sell one of the smokestacks in Vegas for the appraised price, and leave in a huff when only offered half that.

Another grand conspiracy theory?

Did Wilson and Churchill conspire to sink the Lusitania?

The Titanic was supposed to be unsinkable.

My larger point isn't false at all, it is all too true.

It may be above your paygrade to consider the broader scope of it being a widespread problem of the fact that the federal government continues to interject itself into every facet of our private lives.

But confining ourselves just to school lunches and creating a generation of sheeple that believe that the federal government can rule over every aspect of their lives there is definately a widespread problem nationally.

In Tennessee for instance, schools offer free or cut rate meals including breakfasts. One of my grandchildren was given a three day suspension for arguing about what could or could not be eaten at any one particular meal. In this case no banana (yes we have no bananas) could be eaten with cereal and this was because of the somewhat idtiotic guidelines set forth by the federal government which uses the money it confiscates from the taxpayers to fund the program and therefore sees fit to tell the kids what they can or cannot eat.

The teacher designated to be the cafateria monitor (being a control freak like you), totally overreacted to the situation and blew it all out of proportion and disrupted the academic life of the student over a stupid banana.

As a matter of fact it has taken six months just to get the kid interested in participating in the academic (the real reson we have schools to begin with) aspect other than just sitting at a desk and doodling (the kid has real artistic talent) all because of a stupid federal rule about bananas for breakfast.

Michelle Obama's America: Chicago School Bans Bag Lunches to Protect Kids from Themselves | NewsBusters.org

A Chicago Public Schools spokeswoman said she could not say how many schools prohibit packed lunches and that decision is left to the judgment of the principals.

"While there is no formal policy, principals use common sense judgment based on their individual school environments," Monique Bond wrote in an email. "In this case, this principal is encouraging the healthier choices and attempting to make an impact that extends beyond the classroom."

But reporters Monica Eng and Joel Hood suggest there are other reasons than a nutrition crusade: "Any school that bans homemade lunches also puts more money in the pockets of the district's food provider, Chartwells-Thompson. The federal government pays the district for each free or reduced-price lunch taken, and the caterer receives a set fee from the district per lunch." But if they're really concerned about a learning environment, what if the kids don't eat?

At Little Village, most students must take the meals served in the cafeteria or go hungry or both. During a recent visit to the school, dozens of students took the lunch but threw most of it in the garbage uneaten.

You can google North Carolina for yourself, pre-K students have their home lunches inspected statewide on a spot check basis depending on the food nazi inclination (or lack of,) of the local school district.
