"How's the catering contract?"
If its a title I school in texas, the school gets federal money based on how many lunches they need. More free lunches = more federal dollars.
DD5,
Health and metabolism is so much more complicated than that, you're being ridiculous.
Sieben:This is a red herring. My thesis is that GIVEN parents are feeding poison to their children, they forfeit guardianship rights. Maybe some kids can be fat and healthy idk/c
Red herring?? You are talking about logical fallacies when you have yet to even present anything that even remotely resembles a valid attempt at an argument. Nothing but bare assertions and personal value judgements. It's an emotional outcry, not an argument. I'm not going to play the "I'll be your shrink" game. Thank you very much.

You are aware that guardianship rights are a part of libertarian theory right? They're not just emotional "what about the children" pandering. See here for Block applying the homesteading principle to children.
Ultima:Or you can lose weight by eating a diet of Twinkies, but you'll likely die of a young age nonetheless.
Off topic.

OK, lets get back to our other contestant,
now remember, we're about to hit the bonus round where each successful answer will be worth double
I dont see the force? Can the child choose not to eat until he comes home?
Sieben:Some parents feed their children poison They lose guardianship rights You are aware that guardianship rights are a part of libertarian theory right?
They lose guardianship rights

I don't know how in the world this has anything to do with anything I've said.
I am of the same persuassion.
Give your kid their lunch anyway. Force the school the make the first move and steal the child's lunch. There are likely a few sympathetic caferia monitors who will simply look the other way. If they steal the child's lunch and do not return it at the end of the day, sue the school and the authority figure involved for theft. Do this for every single offense. Eventually, things will change.
Like mentioned by others in this thread, it seems to me that beyond the standard big brother aspects of this, it is just another attempt to grab at federal money.
Bohemian: sue the school and the authority figure involved for theft.
....in their own court. Not a very promising strategy if you ask me.
God damned government doesn't know when to quit. If only our Founding Fathers would have listened more carefully to Patrick Henry.....
The government is a damned snowball, growing and growing. What if they outlawed breathing? They can do it, you know. We'd all be working the farms or die if they decided to. Thank God for the Bill of Rights. At least it keeps them at bay like the anti-federalists intended.
As for the lunches...well...is it that surprising, really? Yes, it's wrong, but it's certainly not surprising. The public education system is socialism at its finest. Stealing society's money to fund mediocre education by teachers that have reached tenure and don't feel a need to work is capitalism in reverse. They incentivize laziness. You don't work yet you get paid. F-ing brilliant way to grow the government.
The good part is people still have the option to not go to public school. Now when that right is taken away...we'll have something to deal with.
