The school..."denied knowledge of the incident."
Only in North Carolina... we have serious obesity here. Lot of boiled peanuts, lot of nuggets, lot of pork skins. Our kids are raised on fried pork skins.
The teachers were raised on fried pork skins too. But the teachers...they carry a lot of weight around here.
:oops:

Scott I always thought your neck of the wood was a safe haven for me when FL got to crazy, guess there's still Alabama and TX.

Well when you come up here my brother...I can guarantee a safe haven for you and yours :lol:

So, like, if I sent my kid to school with a serving of Maggie's Lasagna (which is probably hovering at about 2000 cals per serving!), to be heated in the micro, and maybe a side of a salad with with Naturally Fresh Caesers (not the light stuff) dressing on top, that the kid can't eat it?
Was it our wonderful congress that thought up this chit? I mean, Maggie fixed beef stew yesterday, cooked in the crock pot. Chuck roast, taters, carrots, celery, onions, green beans, peas, in a gravy to die for. I guaranty that one bowl will take care of a 2000 cal/day diet.
So what the F? Chit, when I was playing sports in high school, I KNOW I was consuming well over 5000 cals/day, probably closer to 7500. I'd say a bit more blame has to be placed on society and where we have morphed as a country than on any administration or party in charge of the country at any given time.
Because of greed, and the want/need to better the Jones, we have Mom's and Dad's working. Hence, the kids get home from school, no one's around, they eat what they want, they play video games, they go on facebook...hell, when we were kids, we got home, Mom was there, we had a quick snack, you didn't see us 'til dinner time, than out again until it was time to come in.
THAT'S the problem that is facing this country, and the kneejerk reactions that states like NC (and any others that choose to follow this route), are simply that...kneejerk.
Fix the problem, don't put a band-aid on the symptoms...

Amen Bob. You hit the nail on the head. Whatever happened to "Kid's...listen to me...when I call you its time to come home."

Heck when i as a kid i was the remote for the TV, like we all were I'm sure, technology does have it's draw backs.

That's pathetic. When Texas finally secedes from this nation of p**sies, ya'll c'mon over...we'll fire up the grill in the school yard and cook a big 'ol brisket for that kindy-garten class's lunch. Banana Pudding for dessert. Run that federal lunch inspector out on a rail.
By the way: Why we CAN - and SHOULD - secede:
* 4 substantial seaports (Port Arthur, Galveston, Houston, Corpus Christi)
* The world's Energy Capital
* A jillion acres of range land
* A jillion acres of farm land
* A huge University system
* Plenty of independent banking
* No state income tax
* An international border
* A constitution that is already based on being a sovereign nation (as we once were)
* The 7th largest economy on the planet, all by ourselves.
* Plenty of vineyards, plenty of breweries.
* Enough guns & ammo to hold 'em off indefinitely and a militia just waiting for a fight.
Just to prove we're open to all comers, Chris Christie can be our next President. He'd fit right in. (I'd call him our "first" president but we've already had one of those...back in the 1800's.)
Incidentally, our STATE capital building is taller than the U.S. capital. Just to piss 'em off, I think.

How does that song go God Blessed Texas.

cmaster, like your thinking.
Met a guy from the great state of Texas, on vacation in a foreign country.
He had strong feelings for his state, as do you. And I admired him.
Like the idea of state's rights. Texas and Arizona lead the nation at present regarding state's rights.. Rightfully so, as they share a border with a foreign country.
CH..."God Bless Texas" is a great anthem... :thumright:
-
But, to be fair:
We recently had a president who hailed from Texas...by way of Kennebunkport.
That guy....not sure he'll ever have a library dedicated in his honor. And not so sure he can correctly spell "library".
-
Yeah, but he wasn't the President of Texas. (The GWB library opens later this year at the SMU campus in Dallas)
-
And about sharing a border with a foreign country...I was referring to Louisiana.

If you did secede you would have to acquire Arkansas at that time (the Remington ammo factory is just east of Little Rock) !!!

HA!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

That sounds more like Massachusetts. We've had the no "cupcake" policy and "zero tolerance" in many of our school systems for years. It's frightening the power these Health boards/departments have (at town and state level) in dictating policy.

Getting back on the original track... Raeford, NC is home to some of the biggest turkey processors in the US (House of Raeford, Perdue, etc.). Amazing they would send the girl home with a turkey sammich in her lunch. Maybe she didn't have enough cigarettes?? Maybe there was not enough fried food? Low Twinkie content? :scratch:

This whole 'school nutrition' thing is such BS - another example of your tax dollars at work.
PJ is an 8th grade math/science teacher....based on Title 1 her school serves FREE breakfast to every student, every day, if they want it. How nice. Guess what? They grab the chocolate milk, the honey-buns. Not the fruit, cereal, etc?...What???. You should see what is ACTUALLY served in the lunch lines at her school - all crap that's full of sugar, salt, fat. But it doesn't matter, 'cause the gummint approved it. Besides, most of these kids are eating McDonald's for dinner every night, or frozen pizza, or worse.
I'll bet that cumulatively, all 3 of my kids didn't buy school lunches 20 times in 12 years. Nobody ever 'inspected' their lunches. Today they are all fit, slim, happy, healthy. Given the choice, they don't tend toward sugary food. At restaurants they usually ask for water...not Cokes. (Ok...beer or wine sometimes these days.) They know how to cook. They run 5k's. The 2 boys can hit a Blue Winged Teal in a 20 mph cross-wind. And clean the 12 ga. afterwards. One thing's for sure: They aren't pu**ies. Is there a correllation between their diets when they were young, and who they are today? Damn right. Because just like with their diets, Washington wasn't rasing them. I was.
The point is, the gummint thinks it knows better than you do about parenting. But the gummint is never going to "instill good decision-making" in kids. Some federal slug, in charge of The Department of Worrying About Sack Lunches, is such a perfect metaphor for why we are circling the drain as a nation of fat, inept, overly emotional, badly-nourished pu**ies.
