I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen in the US

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.

Damn! Now that's downright pathetic, and I have no doubt that it will indeed happen here, sooner or later. Only here, the government will probably take the kids away and place them under child protective custody. :roll:

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

To who? The school was following Province-level regulations, which are surely based on federal government regulations.

I read the article and could not believe all of the negative comments to the mother of the children. What is this world coming to when the food police fine you for sensible lunch packings?

Love, Maggie

Hi, What would have happened if the child was gluten intolerant? He was given "Ritz Crackers". Jon
