What is going on? Lunch inspectors???
I know it's an isolated incident, but this is amazing -

A Hoke County preschooler was fed chicken nuggets for lunch because a state worker felt that her homemade lunch did not have enough nutritional value, according to a report by the Carolina Journal.

The West Hoke Elementary School student was in her More at Four classroom when a state agent who was inspecting lunch boxes decided that her packed lunch — which consisted of a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, apple juice and potato chips — “did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines,” the Journal reports.

I would argue that her lunch was better than what they wanted her to eat. At least her turkey was not ground up chicken parts.

How about a federal crackdown and sting operation on an Amish family farm for the interstate sale of unpasteurized milk? Only redeeming part of this story is a lot of the irate customers are lefties who now get to see first-hand what Big Government is all about...

Quote:Feds shut down Amish farm for selling fresh milk

The FDA won its two-year fight to shut down an Amish farmer who was selling fresh raw milk to eager consumers in the Washington, D.C., region after a judge this month banned Daniel Allgyer from selling his milk across state lines and he told his customers he would shut down his farm altogether.

The decision has enraged Mr. Allgyer's supporters, some of whom have been buying from him for six years and say the government is interfering with their parental rights to feed their children.

But the Food and Drug Administration, which launched a full investigation complete with a 5 a.m. surprise inspection and a straw-purchase sting operation against Mr. Allgyer's Rainbow Acres Farm, said unpasteurized milk is unsafe and it was exercising its due authority to stop sales of the milk from one state to another.

Adding to Mr. Allgyer's troubles, Judge Lawrence F. Stengel said that if the farmer is found to violate the law again, he will have to pay the FDA's costs for investigating and prosecuting him.

His customers are wary of talking publicly, fearing the FDA will come after them.

"I can't believe in 2012 the federal government is raiding Amish farmers at gunpoint all over a basic human right to eat natural food," said one of them, who asked not to be named but received weekly shipments of eggs, milk, honey and butter from Rainbow Acres, a farm near Lancaster, Pa. "In Maryland, they force taxpayers to pay for abortions, but God forbid we want the same milk our grandparents drank."

The FDA, though, said the judge made the right call in halting Mr. Allgyer's cross-border sales.

"Intrastate sale of raw milk is allowed in Pennsylvania, and Mr. Allgyer had previously received a warning letter advising him that interstate sale of raw milk for human consumption is illegal," agency spokeswoman Siobhan DeLancey said.

Neither the FDA nor the Justice Department, which pursued the legal case, provided numbers to The Washington Times on the cost of the investigation and court fight.

Fans of fresh milk, which they also call raw milk, attribute all kinds of health benefits to it, including better teeth and stronger immune systems. Raw milk is particularly popular among parents who want it for their children.

In a unique twist, the movement unites people on the left and the right who argue that the federal government has no business controlling what people choose to consume.

In a rally last year, they drank fresh milk in a park across Constitution Avenue from the Senate.

But the FDA says it concluded, after extensive study along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that raw milk is never safer than pasteurized milk. It disputes those who say pasteurization — the process of heating food to kill harmful organisms — makes it less healthy.

Many food-safety researchers say pasteurization, which became widespread in the 1920s and 1930s, dramatically reduced instances of milk-transmitted diseases such as typhoid fever and diphtheria.

The FDA began looking into Mr. Allgyer's operations in late 2009, when an investigator in the agency's Baltimore office used aliases to sign up for a Yahoo user group made up of Rainbow Acres customers.

The investigator placed orders for fresh milk and had it delivered to private residences in Maryland, where it was picked up and documented as evidence in the case. By crossing state lines, the milk became part of interstate commerce and thus subject to the FDA's ban.

At one point, FDA employees made a 5 a.m. visit to Mr. Allgyer's farm. He turned them away, but not before they observed milk containers labeled for shipment to Maryland.

After the FDA first took action, Mr. Allgyer changed his business model. He arranged to sell shares in the cows to his customers, arguing that they owned the milk and he was only transferring it to them.

Judge Stengel called that deal "merely a subterfuge."

"The practical result of the arrangement is that consumers pay money to Mr. Allgyer and receive raw milk," the judge wrote in a 13-page opinion.

Grassfed On the Hill Buying Club has about 500 active members.

Liz Reitzig, a mother who has become a raw-milk activist and is an organizer of the group, said the lawyers who pursued the case against Mr. Allgyer ought to "be ashamed."

"Many families are dependent on the milk for health reasons or nutritional needs, so a lot of people will be desperately trying to find another source now," she said.

The FDA absolutely made right decision. Raw milk can contain pathogenic bacteria. In addition, pasteurizing milk does not take away any of nutritive value of milk. Further, allowing raw milk increases chances of spread of disease among those who are not consuming products. The interstate ban exists because it puts farm animals and humans at risk who are not involved in consuming raw milk. Its a public health hazard.

since you are firmly planted in generation "who gives a sh$t", leave it to

It's not an indictment on America, it's tangeable evidence of GOVERNMENT INTRUSION, that MOST Americans are sick of.

It's one idiotic decision by a school employee, this is not a government policy of taking kids food and replacing it with what they think they should eat.

That's like saying because one cop beats a guy for no reason the entire department is supporting the policy.

All the farmer has to do is to label the milk as "Not Intended for Human Consumption" and then tell the FDA to stick it.

To use your analogy rogue cops like that are almost always met with swift punitive and disciplinary action. I'll anxiously await the swift punitive and disciplinary action taken against this rogue employee.

What kind of switft puntitive action do you want taken? I am sure the person will be reprimanded for his actions. Do you want it to go beyond that for the switching of a lunch?

If there are those who are not worried, ever heard of the new First Food Cop, Michelle Obama?

Her campaign to police what children eat - an offshoot of the left Food Police Campaing [you know, eat grass not meat?] - is now being paid for by our tax dollars.

Interesting the commercials have started showing up during campaign season....

Feds shut down Amish farm for selling fresh milk

The FDA absolutely made right decision. Raw milk can contain pathogenic bacteria. In addition, pasteurizing milk does not take away any of nutritive value of milk. Further, allowing raw milk increases chances of spread of disease among those who are not consuming products. The interstate ban exists because it puts farm animals and humans at risk who are not involved in consuming raw milk. Its a public health hazard.

So sayeth you and the Federal Government. But it's perfectly legal to sell it intrastate in about half of the states and in many other countries. Proponents argue that the taste is far superior and some studies have shown a statistically significant inverse relationship between consumption of raw milk and asthma and allergies. Furthermore, practically any food can make one sick - especially when raw. I'm almost scared to ask: Are you ready to ban the interstate sale of raw greens, berries, tomatoes, sprouts, oysters, tuna, etc. too?

More importantly, nobody is forcing you to buy or drink it.

Her campaign has been about educating people about the value of nutrition and having healthy eating options in schools. Not exactly government being intrusive. Nutritional education is probably a good thing given our health care costs and the number of obese people we have in this country.

You're the one that compared the person to a rogue cop; personally I'd like to see the Government Intrusion into a child's lunch box go away.

Heard an interesting argument somewhat related about Government intrusions and mandates... under the argument the administration is pursuing for birth control being part of health care (preventative health care) could nutricious foods not be considered preventative health care (obesity, high blood pressure, etc.) and insurance companies be told to offer food as part of their plan as well?

Perhaps you better read the article again. This wasn't a rogue inspector
inventing policy. This was a full process of inspecting, admonishing, FORCING the student/Parents to pay the $1.25 for their "better" lunch.
The Government knows better. (Except in the case of Solyndra et al)

I guess you are not familiar with animals' Constitutionally protected rights? (I'm being semi-sarcastic btw.) But on a more serious note, the farmer did actually set up a business model where he sold shares of the cows with the shareholders receiving the milk from the cows they owned to use as they wished - to no avail before a federal court.

It's not an indictment on America, it's tangeable evidence of GOVERNMENT INTRUSION, that MOST Americans are sick of.

It's one idiotic decision by a school employee, this is not a government policy of taking kids food and replacing it with what they think they should eat.

That's like saying because one cop beats a guy for no reason the entire department is supporting the policy.

Which part of the U.S. Constitution grants the Federal Government the right to regulate the food that school children eat?
