State agent inspects sack lunches, forces preschoolers to purchase cafeteria food instead
By Sara Burrows
RAEFORD ? A preschooler at West Hoke Elementary School ate three chicken nuggets for lunch Jan. 30 because a state employee told her the lunch her mother packed was not nutritious.
The girl?s turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, according to the interpretation of the agent who was inspecting all lunch boxes in her More at Four classroom that day.
The Division of Child Development and Early Education at the Department of Health and Human Services requires all lunches served in pre-kindergarten programs ? including in-home day care centers ? to meet USDA guidelines. That means lunches must consist of one serving of meat, one serving of milk, one serving of grain, and two servings of fruit or vegetables, even if the lunches are brought from home.

"the agent who was inspecting all lunch boxes"
So, there's also a LBA ?
I'd love to see their badge !
Or Jon Stewart explaining how THIS is not a little nazi power-grab ..
Besides, that sounds like a nice lunch box, wish my mom had made something like that for me .. I don't see how it doesn't comply with the Guidelines, bread is grain, cheese is milk, apple and banana are fruit/vegetables . Maybe turkey isn't meat or something ?
I'm pretty sure those McNuggets shouldn't qualify as 'meat' anywhere !
Jeez...
