Date: 2011-04-13 16:11 (UTC)From:I agree that a lot of parents pack crap but taking away a parent's right to feed their own kid is crossing a line.
The article also reminds me of the story where a school in New Mexico had banned not only sugar but white flour and they would literally take the food out of the kids' hands if it didn't meet their criteria and replace it with a peanut butter and honey sandwich on whole wheat. Nevermind that a bean burrito on a white flour tortilla actually had more fiber and less sugar than their substitute, but there was something vaguely racist about telling a Hispanic kid (which the school was primarily) that their culturally standard cuisine was wrong.
