Quote:AURORA, Colo. — A Colorado mother claims a teacher at her child's preschool refused to let the little girl eat part of her lunch because it wasn't nutritious.

Leeza Pearson, of Aurora, Colo., is upset her child wasn't allowed to finish part of her lunch.

Pearson packed her 5-year-old daughter a ham and cheese sandwich, string cheese and a 4-pack of Oreos on Friday. The child came back home from Children's Academy with the Oreos and a note from her teacher which read, in part:

"Dear Parents, it is very important that all students have a nutritious lunch. This is a public school setting and all children are required to have a fruit, a vegetable and a heavy snack from home, along with a milk. If they have potatoes, the child will also need bread to go along with it. Lunchables, chips, fruit snacks, and peanut butter are not considered to be a healthy snack. This is a very important part of our program and we need everyone's participation."

There was a thread about a disgusting lunch featuring a fish sandwich and what looked like corn a week or two ago.

To combat disgusting lunches served by the cafeteria, people suggested packing a lunch to get around the food nazis. I posted that lunches that do not follow the guidelines would be confiscated and was called out by some for proof. I provided my own interaction with lunch nazis and provided two other examples.

Lunch content monitoring is not an isolated made up thing. It is real.

When the government feels like it is their right to monitor what your children eat, we should all be concerned about the intrusion into our freedom and privacy.
