This is actually more a problem with Socialism that plain old liberalism, but – whatever. From the ‘it takes a village’ mentality, we get this well intentioned, but utterly assinine proposal in the UK:
Under the Government's obesity strategy, all schools will be expected to design a "healthy lunchbox policy" on what makes a nutritional packed lunch over the next year.Some parents may even be asked to sign a form agreeing to ban unhealthy foods from their children's lunches.
If a packed lunch is deemed to contain too much fat and sugar, parents could be sent warning letters or their children's meals confiscated.
And while this is happening in the UK and not the good ole’ US of A, don’t for a minute think that some career educator hasn’t already thought of this here…
