A website sponsored by the North Carolina Civitas Institute<\/a> posted a story today about a Pre-K program in West Hoke Elementary School in Raeford\u00a0where all of the students’ lunches were inspected by a government inspector for content.<\/p>\n

One child was allowed to eat the lunch her mother had packed but was given cafeteria food because the lunch did not meet the inspector’s standard. The child’s lunch contained a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, apple juice and potato chips. The nutrition standards for pre-K lunch require milk, two servings of fruit or vegetable, bread or grains and a meat or meat alternative.<\/p>\n

The article explains:<\/p>\n

The mother says the girl was so intimidated by the inspection process that she was too scared to eat all of her homemade lunch. The girl ate only the chicken nuggets provided to her by the school, so she still didn\u2019t eat a vegetable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The mother says her daughter doesn\u2019t like vegetables and \u2013 like most four year olds \u2013 will only eat them at home under close supervision.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The government inspector was from the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale-Revised program at the FPG Child Development Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The program gives schools a grade based on standards that include USDA meal guidelines enforced by the N.C. Division of Early Childhood Development.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The nutrition standards for pre-K lunch require milk, two servings of fruit or vegetable, bread or grains and a meat or meat alternative. The school didn\u2019t receive a high grade from the January assessment because the home-made lunches didn\u2019t meet those \u00a0guidelines. The mother points out the only thing on that list her daughter\u2019s home lunch didn\u2019t have was milk, so she doesn\u2019t understand why the girl was given a complete school meal as a supplement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When did any state or federal government get the right to go through a four-year old’s lunch bag. What constitution gives this authority? This is obscene!<\/p>\n
