Outrage After School Tells Mom Her Child’s Lunch Is Unhealthy and Unacceptable

A mother is outraged after school officials told her 4-year-old daughter that
her home-packed lunch was not healthy enough to eat. What was so unhealthy about her lunch?
Trace Gallagher reported that a lunch inspector at the school told the girl she couldn’t eat
her turkey sandwich, banana, potato chips and apple juice. Instead, providing the girl with a
USDA-approved lunch with the following guidelines: one serving of meat, one serving of grains,
and two servings of fruit or vegetables.

When the girl returned home from school, her unopened lunch contained a note from the school
saying that her lunch didn’t meet the guidelines and a $1.25 bill for the replacement lunch.
The mom was outraged and anonymously wrote to the local newspaper and called a state representative.
The North Carolina representative called the school which apologized, because in fact the lunch
did meet all the USDA requirements.

I have no comment.
