"The girl’s turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, according to the interpretation of the agent who was inspecting all lunch boxes in her More at Four classroom that day."
“With a turkey sandwich, that covers your protein, your grain, and if it had cheese on it, that’s the dairy,” said Jani Kozlowski, the fiscal and statutory policy manager for the division. “It sounds like the lunch itself would’ve met all of the standard.” The lunch has to include a fruit or vegetable, but not both, she said."
“The school may have interpreted [the rule] to mean they felt like the lunch wasn’t meeting the nutritional requirements and so they wanted the child to have the school lunch and then charged the parent,” she said. “It sounds like maybe a technical assistance need for that school.”

I've decided to add this to my list of programs that I'll just not pay with my tax dollars.
wtf? Her lunch is way healthier than most of the crap i ate that was supplied by the school system. How the hell can they get off by telling the parents that a turkey and cheese sandwich, potato chips, banana and apple juice is worse than microwaveable over processed and over preserved chicken nuggets.
I'm just gonna abuse my children and home school em.
The Lunch the kid brought to school sounds tastier than anything ever served at lunch when I was in school
I had prison food in grade school. lol
I used to laugh at the movie "Demolition Man" when Sylvester Stallone asked for the salt at Taco Bell and Sandra Bullock tells him its unhealthy and therefore illegal. Not so funny now.
