Exclusive: 2nd N.C. Mother Says Daughter’s School Lunch Replaced for Not Being Healthy Enough

North Carolina officials have said there was a misunderstanding when a preschooler’s homemade lunch was sent home for not meeting certain nutritional requirements, but now a second mother from the same school has come forward exclusively to The Blaze to say the same thing happened to her daughter.
Diane Zambrano says her 4-year-old daughter, Jazlyn, is in the same West Hoke Elementary School class as the little girl whose lunch gained national attention earlier this week. When Zambrano picked Jazlyn up from school late last month, she was told by Jazlyn’s teacher that the lunch she had packed that day did not meet the necessary guidelines and that Jazlyn had been sent to the cafeteria.
The lunch Zambrano packed for her daughter? A cheese and salami sandwich on a wheat bun with apple juice. The lunch she got in the cafeteria? Chicken nuggets, a sweet potato, bread and milk.
“She never eats breakfast or lunch at the school,” Zambrano said of her daughter during an interview with The Blaze. “We always wake up early and make her lunch.”
It happens “every so often”
That day, Zambrano said she picked Jazlyn up from school and asked if she ate her lunch.
“She’s not picky about food but you have to be on top of her,” she explained.
When Jazlyn said she didn’t eat what her mother had made her, Zambrano went to her teacher and demanded to know what happened. She said the teacher told her an official had come through that day to inspect students’ lunches and that those who were lacking certain food groups were sent to the cafeteria. After she received her cafeteria food, the teacher told Zambrano, Jazlyn was told to put her homemade lunch back in her lunchbox and set it on the floor.
Zambrano said the teacher told her it was not the first time student lunches have been inspected, and that officials come “every so often.”
Part of a regular program?
The policing of children’s food at West Hoke has been portrayed as an isolated incident, but a curious memo Jazlyn brought home to her mother seems to point to something more.
The memo Jazlyn brought from the school outlines the necessary nutritional requirements students’ homemade lunches must contain: two servings of fruit or vegetables, one serving of dairy, one serving of grain and one serving of meat or meat substitute. Included with the memo was a separate sheet, this one a bill for the cafeteria food Jazlyn was served.
The memo, dated Jan. 27 with the subject line “RE: Healthy Lunches,” was signed by school principal Jackie Samuels and said, while “we welcome students to bring lunches from home … it must be a nutritious, balanced meal with the above requirements. Students, who do not bring a healthy lunch, will be offered the missing portions which may result in a fee from the cafeteria.”
Zambrano, who’s volunteered at the school in the past, said she was never told about any such nutritional requirements before her daughter’s lunch was replaced.
“That‘s not really the school’s responsibility,” she said, adding she’s extremely health-conscious and doesn’t feed her daughter junk food or let her drink soda — or even eat the tater tots or other fried foods often served in the cafeteria.
“They give the choice of pizza and hot donuts…none of that is healthy,” Zambrano said.
According to the program requirements for North Carolina’s pre-kindergarten program, schools “must provide breakfast and/or snacks and lunch meeting USDA requirements during the regular school day.”
The partial or full cost of meals, the requirements state, “may be charged when families do not qualify for free/reduced price meals. When children bring their own food for meals and snacks to the center, if the food does not meet the specified nutritional requirements, the center must provide additional food necessary to meet those requirements.”
AP
The school’s reaction
Reached Friday morning, a representative from the Hoke County School Superintendent‘s office denied knowing anything about what happened with Jazlyn’s lunch and said they had no record of a complaint. Reached again, a different representative said they had “no information at this time” about the situation. A West Hoke Elementary official similarly denied any knowledge and referred all questions to the school district.
Principal Samuels previously told the Carolina Journal he “didn’t know anything about” parents being charged for cafeteria meals after the first preschooler’s mother — who has not been identified — came forward.
Bob Barnes, assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, told the McClatchy News Service Thursday that the first preschooler to make headlines just misunderstood her teacher when she thought she was told to ditch her homemade lunch for one from the cafeteria: the cafeteria items were only meant to supplement the food groups missing from the homemade lunch.
“We are not the lunch bag police,” Barnes told McClatchy. “We would never put a child in any type of embarrassing situation. But we are responsible to see that every child gets a nutritious meal.”
Barnes confirmed there was an agent from Department of Health and Human Services’ Division of Child Development and Early Education at the school Jan. 30 who examined six student lunches and determined one did not make the nutritional cut — presumably the first little girl whose story made news.
Zambrano said she‘s not positive which day Jazlyn’s lunch was inspected, whether it was Jan. 27 — the date the memo was issued — or Jan. 30. Either way, one of two conclusions seem plausible: more than one student’s lunch was changed, or an official inspected student lunches on more than one occasion — which Zambrano said Jazlyn’s teacher told her had been the case.
In a statement to The Blaze, the Division of Child Development and Early Education said it is investigating what happened but flatly denied any of its employees or contractors “instructed any child to replace or remove any meal items.” The division issued a similar statement to McClatchy even after Barnes said it was one of their agents who examined the lunches.
“It is not DHHS’ policy to inspect, go through or question any child about food items brought from home. The facts we have gathered confirm that no DHHS employee or contractor did this,” the statement said.

Report Post »To answer your question, “Who are these food Nazis?” I’d point out that, although the word “nutritional” does occur (once) in the letter from the school, the guidelines being enforced here do not come from the Department of Education, or Health and Human Services, but from the good old USDA. Dollars to fat- and carb-loaded donuts these policies are the work of the farm lobby, where dairy, grain and meat bulk large. You can’t substitute fruit juice one of your fruits/vegatables, or that would leave no room for milk as a beverage. Perhaps the cheese was imported from some nasty place like France, though I doubt these humorless inspectors have the wit to tell the difference.

This standards BS is just that. Its a screen to hide behind so parents are forced into the school meals program where they corporations make money and so does the district. They need their federal subsidies. My wife tried the county nutrition guide for her daycare kids and it had to be exact and to the letter or she could not get reimbursed. The meager reimbursement did not cover her real costs and she was subject to inspections for the system..so she dropped it and the kids eat healthy home cooked meals, meat, rice, vegetables, fruit, breads, snack crackers etc. The police state grows out of control everyday in this country and the zealots who think they are doing the right thing are part of the problem. Theres just not enough push back on the big government minded progressives like at the school system. This story will be forgotten in a couple of days and business as usual will continue.

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 1:07pmI wonder if my favorite sandwich would have been acceptable? I always got a plain jam sandwich. My friend got a peanut butter-lettuce and mayonnaise(PBLM) sandwich. He and I always switched. He liked jam. I like his mom’s PBLM sandwich. Oh and our drinks were almost always water from the water fountain since we were not $$ enough to buy a thermos until I was in Jr. high.
I still eat my fav PBLM sandwichs anytime I want to see my children nearly throw up :-)
Great Parenting huh?
But then, as we have been shown on this site, only “Educators” know what is best for children, not parents.

She always got to go home for lunch. Later on, there were always 4 things in my lunch: A sandwich, chips, fruit, a little Debbie or 4 cookies, and a juice box plus money for milk. We had 5 kids (In my family) in school at the same time, so we all got the same thing. Homepacked lunches were ALWAYS more cost effective than school lunches. Our school also always served (as we fondly called it) ‘BBQ Barf on a bun’ on Thursdays. Screw you, DHHS! (Dept. of Humanistic humanism services)

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 6:42pmHad a good laugh when I was telling my sister about lunches brought from home being checked out by the food police at schools. She reminded me of when our mom was out of everything else, she’d put rows of pecan halves on a mayo sandwich. You couldn’t afford pecans today, but they were probably more nutritious than anything, and I did remember those days.
I honestly don’t remember eating at school cafeterias when growing up as it was an added expense and my sis & I seemed to do ok with our own lunches from home. (usually the best food) We were raised very frugally, my sis & I both worked at an upscale family restaurant 3 nights a week and all Sunday afternoon and got our meals. It was fun, helped our Mom out while she went to night school and was a good learning experience for us. We did this for over 3 years. Mom was able to get
better jobs and finally had her own office about the time we left home. Good memories and I never knew how poor we really were because we made do without complaining. .
When we needed special clothing for school dances, etc. my mom remodeled them from old clothes she got at used clothing store, and funny enough, our clothes were always admired because she was good at sewing (by hand) and didn‘t expect gov’t to raise us (even if there had been programs then, which there weren’t.)

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 12:59pmI think what the schools and some of these organizations fail to understand is that just because it is put on a child’s plate, does not mean it will be eaten. Along with that, each meal should not be looked at individually for nutrition purposes. Instead, you should look at what a child is eating over the entire day (or better yet, week).

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 2:27pmThat being said, I do think if the government is paying for kids, or families to eat (i.e. free lunches and food stamps) then it is their right to tell them what to eat. There should be a stamp for milk, a stamp for bread, a stamp for fruit, etc. If they do not like it then they can choose to get their food on their own.

They want parents to think they don‘t know what’s best for their children and to bow to government on all matters. The goal is to condition us all to go quietly into whatever fate the government chooses for us. Now is the time to start changing out our government.

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 8:14pmVery good catch SnowLeopard! Control is exactly what this is about. They force the children to bring a lunch that has all of the approved food groups included. They then proceed to tell the child how incompetent or uncaring their parents are for providing such a pathetic lunch. It pits the child and his/her peers against their parents. It is embarrassing for a young child to be singled out in front of other children and told anything disparaging about their parents and the lunch they supplied. The bureaucrats are criticizing something provided with love by most parents for their children and then proceed to let the child know that the government cares more because they provide everything a growing child requires…….especially chicken nuggets. In the long run it is separation of the authority of the parents to feed the child as they see fit and the substitution of the government to supply what the parents will not or cannot. They want our children dependent on the government for everything. Soon parents will have very little say so in their children’s diet and education and the children will be government informants not realizing the goal is to separate the child from the parents. Parents will then fear saying anything anti-government in front of the children because they may get a visit from Homeland Security due to the children telling school officials what their parents said the night before. All of this government control and fear starting out as an improper lunch!
