Chicago might as well make the kids "Wards of the State," because they practically already have and the parents don't even give a shit. :/ . |

Instead of nutrition classes for the community or starting a farmer's market in the area, they just decided the parents could not be trusted to feed their own children? |

User ID: 1338665 United States 04/12/2011 03:59 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've posted two videos on this topic because it really infuriates me as a supporter of parents' rights, kids' rights, and autonomous families. Please view them; I hope you agree with my logic. [link to www.youtube.com] and [link to www.youtube.com] It's very unfortunate that a few parents' bad food choices have led Ms. Carmona to conclude that she may summon the righteousness to substitute her judgment for that of the parents. My mother could have packed a far healthier lunch than any served at the school. Furthermore, Ms. Carmona's generalizations are mind-blowing. She sweepingly states that it is better nutritionally for the kids to eat at school. I guarantee you that 9 times out of 10, my mom's lunches would have been healthier, and the other time they would have been just as healthy and certainly not less. She implies that if the kids didn't drink milk from the cafeteria, they would be bringing Coke as a general rule. I highly doubt it. Even if so, how about banning soft drinks or any kind of drink that isn't 100% milk or juice. Ban potato chips while you're at it -- I don't care. But it is simply ridiculous to suggest that all food packed by all parents for all kids on all days is somehow always substandard to what the school prepares every day with no exceptions to that rule.
