Mum Gives Kids Homemade Lunch, School Forces Them to Eat Ritz Crackers

A mom who thought she was properly parenting by sending her two young kids to school with a homemade, whole-food lunch was shocked to find a penalty note from school officials informing her that the lunch of roast beef, potatoes, carrots, oranges and milk she provided was “unbalanced” and therefore had to be supplemented with Ritz crackers.
She was also fined $10.

Unbalanced lunches are subject to supplementation and a fine of CDN$5 (US$4.80) per “missing item” per child.
In Kristen Bartkiw’s case, she “neglected” to include “grains” with Natalie and Logan’s packed lunches — a “dereliction” that was “corrected” through the “supplementation” of Ritz crackers.
According to the nutrition facts found on its homepage, a serving of Ritz crackers (~10 crackers) contains 6.5g of fat, of which nearly half is saturated.
To drive home the ridiculousness of the policy, Kristen tells Weighty Matters she could have sent her kids to daycare with “microwave Kraft Dinner and a hot dog, a package of fruit twists, a Cheestring, and a juice box,” and it would have been met with approval by the MCCA.

What if the child had been allergic to an ingredient in the cracker? OOh the school would have been in trouble, but as always they don’t think, they just follow orders like zombies
Because coca cola and mcdonalds sponsor kids food, our health visitors in the UK now tell moms to feed this shit to their kids, its policy
BTW the pussy riots where girls obscenely dessicrated holy christian shrines and churches
was sponsored by a jewish organisation, announced today it was George Soros
