More Gov. what the.....


Recommended Posts

Let me start by saying my wife runs a daycare in our home in which we have to follow strict dietary guildlines... which brings us to today... We sent my youngest son (8) to our school summer fum program..(swimming lessons, basketball, crafts and the such). Now my son has good tastes in food, doesnt lile the normal kids food bit loves steak, shrimp, asparigus.. things like that. So day 1 we sent him in with a lunch know he wont eat 3/4 of what the school serves, and we were informed we were not allowed to do that... Ok so we loaded him up with breakfast and he eats lunch when he gets back. So today, friday, they send a package home with all the kids with food items for the weekend... Boxed mac and cheese, a can of spageetios, a small thing of sugar cinamin apple sause, brown sugar oat meal, and a choco chip garnola bar.... I get what they are doing.. feeding kids who may need while not singlimg them out but here it the thing... NONE of the food they sent is accepted by the state as servable to kids. We cannot serve these things to our daycare kids, but the state can serve it to MY kid. He wont eat this stuff at school, so why do they sent it home with him? whole thing just makes me scratch my head...

Please turn on the sarcasm alert

So, you think that as a parent you should be allowed to choose your kids diet? Didn't you know that raising kids is the government's business. Haven't you heard that "it takes a village to raise a kid"? Well, the village is what they call the government agencies now. Come on, you know where this country is heading. How dare you try to stand in the way?

Its the whole double standard thing that gets me... most kids would eat what they serve, or sent home, but we cant serve it to our daycare kids.. (and yes we were cited for serving hotdogs) So they let my kid not eat, even when we send him with things he will eat and meet the guildlines set... by them...
