N.C. Food ‘Inspector’ Sends Girl‘s Lunch Home After Determining It’s Not Healthy Enough

North Carolina Girls Lunch Sent Home for Not Being Healthy Enough

Students make selections that include organic produce and alternative protein selections at Lincoln Elementary in Olympia, Wash., Friday, Sept. 10, 2004. (AP)

A North Carolina mom is irate after her four-year-old daughter returned home late last month with an uneaten lunch the mother had packed for the girl earlier that day. But she wasn’t mad because the daughter decided to go on a hunger strike. Instead, the reason the daughter didn‘t eat her lunch is because someone at the school determined the lunch wasn’t healthy enough and sent it back home.

Yes, you read that right.

The incident happened in Raeford, N.C. at West Hoke Elementary School. What was wrong with the lunch? That’s still a head-scratcher because it didn’t contain anything egregious: a turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice. But for the inspector on hand that day, it didn’t meet the healthy requirements.

See, in North Carolina, all pre-Kindergarten programs are required to evaluate the lunches being provided and determine if they meet USDA nutrition guidelines. If not, they must provide an alternative.

But that’s not the worst of it. Instead of being given a salad or something really healthy, the girl was given chicken nuggets instead. On top of it, her mother was then sent a bill for the cafeteria food.

Sara Burrows from the Carolina Journal explains:

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.

When home-packed lunches do not include all of the required items, child care providers must supplement them with the missing ones.

The girl’s mother — who said she wishes to remain anonymous to protect her daughter from retaliation — said she received a note from the school stating that students who did not bring a “healthy lunch” would be offered the missing portions, which could result in a fee from the cafeteria, in her case $1.25.

North Carolina Girls Lunch Sent Home for Not Being Healthy Enough“I don’t feel that I should pay for a cafeteria lunch when I provide lunch for her from home,” the mother wrote in a complaint to her state representative, Republican G.L. Pridgen of Robeson County, reports the Journal.

“What got me so mad is, number one, don’t tell my kid I’m not packing her lunch box properly,” the girl’s mother told the Journal. “I pack her lunchbox according to what she eats. It always consists of a fruit. It never consists of a vegetable. She eats vegetables at home because I have to watch her because she doesn’t really care for vegetables.”

The Journal provides a copy of the state regulation:

“Sites must provide breakfast and/or snacks and lunch meeting USDA requirements during the regular school day. The partial/full cost of meals 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.”

But what was so wrong with the lunch the mother provided? Nothing apparently. A spokesowman for the Division of Child Development explained that the mother’s meal should have been okay.

“With a turkey sandwich, that covers your protein, your grain, and if it had cheese on it, that’s the dairy,” Jani Kozlowski, the fiscal and statutory policy manager for the division, told the Journal. “It sounds like the lunch itself would’ve met all of the standard.”

It‘s unclear from reports who determined the lunch wasn’t healthy enough. The Carolina Journal refers to the person as a “state agent,” while the Atlanta Journal-Constitution calls the persona “state inspector” who was checking lunches that day. In an email to The Blaze, Caroline Journal reporter said the inspector was “an employee of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Child Development and Early Education.”

The school denied knowledge of the incident and said it’s looking into it.

“While I share concerns about childhood obesity, I still remain uncertain of the right role for schools,” writes the Journal-Constitution’s Maureen Downey. “This story clearly exemplifies the wrong role.”

      Typed West Hoke Elementary into pc and walla Overview on school. My words. Committed to global education preparing students for 21st century. Feel free to correct if this is wrong. What is amazing to me is it has probably been around much longer than placing all blame on Michelle Obama (who guaranteed does not eat veggies or burgers and fries when visiting dignitaries visit OUR WH. Highly qualified attorneys like steak and lobster after all). Any daycare (home or state) receiving funds from govt. has so many rules and reg. (and control of dollars) one has to be very careful. This was true under the Clintons and probably before that. My understanding from friends is home daycares can no longer compete as state centers are taking over. Private daycares also have rules and regulations but “the poor” cannot afford them. Seems like a glorified “daycare” under pre K school label.

      My daughter’s school (public) allows parents to come eat lunch with their children, I went one day but didn’t eat. Honestly I don’t know how the kids eat that crap they feed them. I wouldn’t eat it (and I’ll eat ALMOST anything). I know it can’t be nutritious. I wonder what ever happened to the day where the cafeteria ladies actually cook food for the kids instead of just warming up stuff in a packet?

      It’s getting nearer and nearer to prepare to revolt. Who in the Hell give Sebelius at the Federal Dept. of Health and Human Services or the North Carolina Dept. of HHS to determine what a child can eat or not eat. Popeye use to say, “I’ve had all I can stand, and I can’t stands no more”. It is getting real close to the time that Thomas Jefferson spoke about. It is that extra straw that breaks the camel’s back.

      This is just about as idiotic as it gets but it is much more than that. Freedoms and parenting are being taken away by the state, and being replaced by regulations in arenas that the State and Federal government have no basis, constitutional or otherwise to be meddling in our affairs.

      The die is being cast and we have some very serious choices to make. Once we cross a certain line, there will be no turning back. We will have our opportunity to do the right thing, and Obama and his cohorts be damned.

      Many complain about what is happening in our country under the Obama regime, but few seem to want to take the necessary steps it will take to confront, combat and have victory over this Charlatan-in-Chief and his progeny at the State levels.

      This is a war, and it can neither be confronted nor defeated with “love” as Glenn Beck likes to chime in with. This enemy will have to be confronted with all power and authority, holding no quarter, and literally crushed.

      So they idiots try to substitute a perfectly good sandwich for chicken nuggets? YUK, YUK! Even I would never eat chicken nuggets. Most chicken nuggets are made from the cheapest chicken they can find, probably processed meat with the worst cuts. Personally, I never eat chicken away from home which is usually the cheapest, fast growth, full of hormones and shots chickens they can find.

      Some of that school food is full of horrid chemicals because it’s cheaper to grow. Hamburger meat that is often on recall list because of the cheapest meat they can find. YUK, bring food from home.

      I love how liberals imply there is a sinister undertone behind opposition to Michelle’s health goal. It can’t simply be because we believe we should be free to send our kids to school with the sandwich of our choosing or that we should be able self regulate our own salt intake. No, it must be because we hate children, and the poor, the sick, the elderly, women, homosexuals, Muslims, or anyone who is not rich. Yea, that sounds more like it.

      The definition below is very useful. I can apply it to at least six articles on the Blaze today. It is from the 1828 Websters Dictionary. Check out the part about “maintenance”. Politicians today not only lost their ability to read the Bible, they also lost their ability to use the dictionary. They do not know common definitions any more. Also check out the definition of “parent”

      From the 1828 Websters Dictionary

      marriage
      MAR’RIAGE, n. [L.mas, maris.] The act of uniting a man and woman for life; wedlock; the legal union of a man and woman for life. Marriage is a contract both civil and religious, by which the parties engage to live together in mutual affection and fidelity, till death shall separate them. Marriage was instituted by God himself for the purpose of preventing the promiscuous intercourse of the sexes, for promoting domestic felicity,and for securing the maintenance and education of children.

      Marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled. Heb.13.

      1. A feast made on the occasion of a marriage.

      The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage for his son. Matt.22.

      If the parents do this again the government can and will remove the child from the home and place her in Foster Care. Un-healthy food is now Child Abuse. In NJ three children were removed from the home because the State did not approve of their first names. That was four years ago and they were never returned.

      The federal government has no business evaluating what a parent feeds their child. This government is far too over-reaching. How dare they send inspectors to evaluate the lunches parents provide their children. Now I have heard everything. Soon they will have “inspectors” going door to door looking in people’s refrigerators to make sure there is no “bad” foods in them.

Lower head count…less money. I doubt all the money is used on lunches…there is more to it than meets the eye.

      Currently, if you try to abolish lunch staff workers – many of them are unionized. A superintendent here in WI tried to save money and have a private contract…did not last long. Just follow the money!

      MIL MOM, they could start with the “forcing children to drink milk” problem. This has got to be the milk lobby at work, as homogenized milk is no longer easily digested by humans. Plus, is that picture of a real school lunch? “Chocolate milk” full of sugar and additives no doubt.
      Schools are obviously trying to force kids and parents to pay for their expensive lunch programs.

      @milmom…

      You asked the difference in a mom having a doctor use saline to poison their baby in the womb, and giving their child a bag of m&ms…

      You aren’t really that STUPID. I’ve read too many of your posts.

      For anyone you may have influenced with that biased question, however, I’ll simply point out…
      One is MURDERING YOUR BABY… The other is a bag of M&M’s.
      Last I saw, M&M’s are not POISON.
      In fact, in moderation, there is absolutely nothing wrong with them !

      I’m with @impeachbo on this one…

      If I want to give my child a one-pound bag of M&M’s and a can of coke –
      THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS !

      BUTT OUT !

      It may be my child’s birthday. It may be a special treat. We may have just returned from another time-zone and my child may have eaten lunch at 4am, so this may be a snack to tide them over until we can get them back on a normal schedule.

      The FACT is – The CONSTITUTION is being trampled by “well meaning” people who think they are ENTITLED to tell others how to live their own lives. Well, you can take your “well meant intentions” and…

      HANDS OFF MY FAMILY !

      It is a little thing I like to call FREEDOM and LIBERTY.
      Someday, I dream that America will again be FREE to enjoy the blessings of FREEDOM and LIBERTY. But, that will require you keep your well-meant intentions to yourself – raise your child as YOU see fit. I will raise mine as I see fit. Advertise healthy eating all you like, but, your freedom ends where mine begins

      You know they probably just wanted to charge for the cafeteria food. The packed lunch sounded like it covered all the bases except vegetables and the mother explained that one. What would the school have done if the child had been a celiac and the bread was special. They substituted with chicken nuggets? breaded and fried in greese that I‘m sure they don’t change very often. Both of my children have packed lunches since about 7-9 years old, when they were diagnosed celiac.

      This incident is just an example of the arrogant and condescending attitude prevalent in the public school establishment. That prevailing attitude is why we pulled our kids from public schools 10 years ago.
      @smithclar3nc3-Such an internet program exists and operates in several states-it’s calle Connections Academy. Check them out. They currently have two programs. If your state does not fund them as a public school, they have a private school optuion. If your state does fund them as a private school, as they do here in Oregon, then there is an option that you have already paid for with your taxes.
      In North CXarolina, they are working on the puublic option. They currently offer classes as a private school. That means one has to pay out of pocket, but it beats the pants off of the public schools any day of the week. Any way you slice it up, I am convinced that come hell or high water, public schools need to be phased out. Parents know their individual kids better than anyone else. They, and they alone know what’s best for their kids in any situation-including education.

    It’s easy to see what is going on, and it’s not some left wing conspiracy to change the way we eat. The schools have to make up on lost revenue when kids bring their lunch from home. These “inspectors” are charged with sending enough food bills home to make up for the lost revenue, hoping that most parents will simply pay the $1.25 and let it go. That’s not to say schools are actually making money on lunches, it’s just a way to recoup what they spend on food and hopefully break even in the cafeteria.

      Schools with high numbers of free/reduced lunch students have a hard time covering the costs. The government payments don’t cover all the costs of the food, especially considering that the more “healthy” foods cost more. Many schools raise the lunch costs so those that buy lunches help cover the differences.

      If you receive food stamps and do not feed your children you should have benefits reduced and the money sent to the school for providing meals.

      This country was better, and more free, when we raised and taught our children on our own. Imagine, we could have kids by the age of 16 knowing more about plumbing, and making good money at it, than a a current plumber with 10 years experience. Computer programmers by 16 that would make Zuckerburg look like a small time hack. But nope. Apprenticeships of your father is now outlawed, and instead, you must send them to an institution that makes sure they have just as much influence on that child as their parents, or in many cases, more so.

      Freedom. Liberty. Responsibility. These now belong to the government collective, and individual possession of these is not in process of being taken, it is already lost and has been for nearly a century. Wake up America, your children are slaves to themselves.

      With a focus on the collective, every individual is is enslaved to the myth of a collective happiness. With a focus on the individual, everyone in the collective can pursue their own happiness.

      Either no one finds happiness, and all suffer. Or, some find happiness, and some suffer. This is why it is very important to raise children with a strong morality and work ethic; the pursuit of happiness is most certainly a trying endeavor not for the ill trained and prepared; and anyone you believe who says it isn’t, is your master.

      @KEVINTAMPA

      The problem is, as time has gone on, a growing number of parents are doing a horrible job at raising their children so that the Government feels like they need to step in. I‘m not saying that it’s right or that they should, but generation after generation has shirked teaching personal responsibility and moderation in daily life.

      We talk about the younger generation feeling “entitled”…..well, who raised that generation? I remember one year my team getting a trophy in basketball just for participating, and I thought it was stupid. The the next year we went undefeated and got a trophy which I thought was nice, but also unnecessary.

      Look at the obesity epidemic that is going on in the US, especially among kids. If you want to be fat, or you want your kids to be fat, that’s your choice and all the more power to you, but then we wonder why medical expenses start to explode and nothing is affordable.

      Look at education in our society, it’s horrible, mainly because parents don’t/can’t take an active role in their kids education. I would strongly urge a family to do anything possible to cut back your expenses, in order for one of the parents to stay and homeschool your children. If you have to cut back your lifestyle, it’s worth it, the education they are getting in public schools is horrible and not geared towards actually learning.

      We have to expect more out of ourselves, before we can expect more out of our government officials.

      That was my first reaction also. Last time I checked a banana was a fruit and apple juice was made from a fruit. We are told that turkey is a relatively healthy meat. Cheese has milk in it. The only thing questionable is the chips, and if there wasn’t too many of them, they shouldn’t be an issue – especially if they help to get the child to eat the rest of the lunch. In teaching 30 years I saw more school lunches thrown away than you can imagine. The only ones the kids would eat were the chicken nuggets, strips, alphbets, straws and french fries. If it was green, it was in the trash no matter how it was fixed. I wish you could have seen the trash the day the trail mix with prunes was served.

      There are many places, especially in inner cities, where it’s UNSAFE for children to play outside at all. MOST PLACES IT’S UNSAFE FOR A CHILD TO PLAY OUTSIDE WITHOUT HIS/HER PARENTS WATCHING FOR KIDNAPPERS OR PEDOPHILES! If a child is very active, THE TEACHERS INSIST THE PARENTS PUT HIM/HER ON MEDICINE SO THEY’RE NOT SO ACTIVE, THEN m o COMES OUT WITH HER “LET’S MOVE PROGRAM!??? In many instances, the child is considered FAT if he/she is the biggest child in the class. WE ARE FAST RUNNING TOWARD RAISING A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF ANOREXIC CHILDREN!!! HOW HEALTHY IS THAT GOING TO BE?? WHAT DO YOU IMAGINE THE HEALTHCARE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ANOREXIA ARE?
