School lunches...Mind your own G-- D-- Business

It’s time to say enough is enough. Do we live in Nazi Germany? Do we live in Communist China? Do we live in Soviet Russia? Have we reached the point where we are actually paying a public employee to inspect home packed lunches in our schools? My God, is this what we have come to?

People make fun of me because of my political activity. Freedom is precious, and our freedom is being overwhelmed by a tsunami of do-gooder government regulations that have taken over our lives. We are watched everywhere we go. The government wants to know everything about you. It wants to know what you spend, where you go and what you do. They even want to send drones up into our skies to monitor you. Do you really want unmanned airplanes monitoring you?

Case in point is the four year old little girl in Fayetteville, North Carolina, who had her home packed lunch inspected by the government food police in school. It consisted of a turkey sandwich with cheese, a banana, potato chips and juice. The food police inspector decided the little girl didn’t have a vegetable, and ordered her a school lunch consisting of chicken nuggets telling the poor little girl that the lunch Mom packed was insufficient!!!  This is through a program run by North Carolina and funded by Obama's stimulus money....I mean your stimulous money.  Yoru tax dollars at work.

What is disturbing is the much of the initial debate surrounding this outrage of government monitoring every breath you take was initially centered on the contents of the lunch. Really? The outrage is that it happened at all. We, the taxpayers of the United States, at least the ½ of workers that actually pay taxes, are paying for that?

This comes on the back of the story last year about the school in Texas who videotaped what each student put on their tray in the cafeteria…and the school in California that determined so much of the “good” food was thrown in the trash or not taken at all, the school couldn’t afford to buy it anymore and went back to normal type menus.

I can’t think of one person who probably doesn’t think they know better what is for you than you do. But when this whack jobs get into government, they become dangerous. This is not a laughing matter. The American public looks at this, shrugs, and follows this nut jobs down the path to totalitarianism…step by step by step.

Folks, in the land of the so called free and home of the wusses, the government is telling you what you can put in your mouth.   Is this what our forefathers died for? How much do we have to take? How much do we have to pay for? To all of the sanctimonious busy bodies in at all levels of government…keep your freakin’ nose out of my bedroom, out of my bathroom, out of my light sockets, out of my car, out of my cigarettes, and above all, keep the hell out of my kid’s lunch box. Mind your own God damn business.

Only when all of America is ready to say what I just said will the gestapo in Washington take notice, and leave us all alone to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as intended by our forefathers...not life as envisioned by nanny Obama.

Could not agree with you more! My Mom packed lunches for my brother and me consisting of ham salad, bolonie, pb&j, egg salad, fried balonie sandwiches, etc. We never an obesity problem and I'll be 71 this year. So back off Michelle and go take another expensive vacation at our expense.

Hi Mark,

Our state of Ohio ranks 15th in obesity, out of, of course, fifty. Every day I see families condenmed to a shortened life of discomfort,morbidity and early mortality.

Why shouldn't the nutritionally enlightened try to shame, and trample on, the rest of us!?

In this arena, despite good intentions you're no paragon, yourself, Mark. Sometimes, again with good intentions, you are your own worst enemy, Mark.

No offense, man, but sometimes you come across as just plain..... silly.

Hi Mark,

Sometimes, despite good intentions, you, Mark, no paragon in nutritional self-interest, come across as your own worst enemy.

Why shouldn't the few who are enlightened nutritionally shame us and trample on our benighted piggish shortsightedness!?

Sometimes, Mark, you who are so much smarter than your dreadful candidates for the office of president, descend into silliness.

Maybe you're just playing with your audience. Hope so.

Best, Richard Zacharias
