Guess this is Michelle O's healthy school lunch program or some shit. This article is for The Nashville Metro Schools. Guess they are doing the same in their area. Nashville metro area spent 42M on their school meal program last year. How many Billions are going to be paid out for free meals?

I've been seeing alot of signs and ads here in Florida advertising "free meals" for kids, call a number. I'm sure the campaign is national. Statist propaganda always is.

Nothing's free. There's an agenda at work somewhere.

I might pack my kids' lunch and feed them breakfast before they leave.

Unless TN is that one state where that's illegal.

Seriously, be careful.

The real danger with this is they can feed your kids anything. Do you trust them not to test drugs on them? It also eliminates one aspect of free will. If kids aren't taught to make their own decisions, even with simple things like food, they'll be more easily enslaved when they're adults.

Here you go. You are right.

schools want to do 2 things:

make home-packed lunches a thing of the past.

remove any stigma of getting "free" lunches by giving "free" lunches and breakfasts to EVERYBODY.


so you stigmatize the kids whose parents are "stupid" enough to pack a lunch - the kids will do that for them - and then you say no food from home.

It is already forbidden to bring food for birthdays etc that is baked at home.

I know this first hand. It is a demonization of any food made at home, and it is making government food the ONLY choice.

In another set of experiments which came to light in late
1993, at the Fernald School in Massachusetts during the 1940s and
50s, schoolboys classified as mentally retarded were fed
radioactive calcium and iron with their breakfast meals. Yet
parents of these children were deceived about the nature of the
experiments when they gave their consent. With at least one
experiment, the letter from the School requesting consent never
mentioned that radioactive material would be fed, noted that
experimental subjects were selected from a "group of our brighter
patients," and implied that the experiment might result in "gains
in weight and other improvements."

These experiments were funded by the Atomic Energy Commission,
the National Institutes of Health, and the Quaker Oats Company, and
research was conducted by faculty at MIT and Harvard. These
experiments clearly fit within the scope of the documents that I
requested from the Department of Energy in the mid-1980s, yet they
were not reported then. With the revelation of the Fernald School
experiments, I began to question whether we know the full scope of
human experimentation; whether the 1986 staff report provided a
reasonably accurate picture or whether the extent of testing was
larger.

If you send your children to the government education centers, you are practicing child abuse.

Re: All students to receive FREE breakfast and lunch this school year
Last year there was an issue where parents where being fined by the state for sending lunches to school with their kids. It was was a "violation of the states nutrition standards".

They were also told if they continued to do so, an investigation would be opened with DFS because they are neglecting their child's nutritional needs, that the school can provide. (All this started because the kid brought gluten free crackers because they suffered from celiac disease)

Re: All students to receive FREE breakfast and lunch this school year
You know that as parents, we have no idea how to feed our children. The school system is nice enough to take over 2 meals a day. What a relief huh? They'll just feed our children what they think is best to them for us.


So glad I homeschool. Id be checking that menu. Are you allowed to pack lunches anyway? Probably going to say due to peanut allergies or something that you can't.

There are several districts here as well that are going to a free lunch for everyone. I don't care my kids are still taking a lunch. I'm not filling out a survey, they can kiss it.

They tried to implement the hand scanners a few years back, when a bunch of kids started taking their lunch, my district started losing its ass.

They discontinued using the scanners as a result of ongoing pressure. Wonder how much money that wasted?

They will be able to take lunches, this happened in my district in another city and state too. I'm just glad that kids that go without, because their parents can't fill out paperwork for the free lunch, can eat. Plus there will be less stigma for kids that have to get free lunch.

edit, I don't have to fill out a survey. They even refunded the money for lunch I overpaid for one of my kids.

I don't think it's a bad thing to lessen the feelings of inadequacy some of the kids may have because of the parents. Plus what about the kids that don't have the paperwork filled out for the free lunch and nobody is packing anything for them at home? Those are the kids that need this more than anything. Lunch ladies have been fired for feeding hungry kids without money.

As far as packed lunches, I've never had a problem with one of my kids, I pack for her most days. And if we do bring in food, it just has to be in it's original package, nothing homemade. The teacher can bring in homemade food though, one of her teachers made a birthday cake for all the kids in her class because some kids don't even have that at home for their birthdays.
