School Sends Child's Lunch Home After Determining it Unhealthy 554
halfEvilTech writes "A North Carolina mom is irate after her four-year-old daughter returned home late last month with an uneaten lunch the mother had packed for the girl earlier that day. But she wasn't mad because the daughter decided to go on a hunger strike. Instead, the reason the daughter didn't eat her lunch is because someone at the school determined the lunch wasn't healthy enough and sent it back home. What was wrong with the lunch? That's still a head-scratcher because it didn't contain anything egregious: a turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice. But for the inspector on hand that day, it didn't meet the healthy requirements."

It sounds like the inspector just wanted a turkey sandwich.

Well, that's because you're capable of rational thought.
If this isn't the perfect example of a political bulldozer being used to make a mountain out of a mole hill, I don't know what is.
