Is this an example of the Nanny State once again impinging on individual rights? Lunches from home are banned at a Chicago public school:
Principal Elsa Carmona said her intention is to protect students from their own unhealthful food choices.
How to opt out? Only students with allergies are allowed to bring a homemade lunch to school, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Is this an extension of the mandates present in the Health Care Law? A student MUST buy his/her lunch even though he/she doesn't want what the school is offering. It seems as this is forced participation...does this sound familiar? Perhaps students should bring doctor notes stating: "This student is allergic to tyranny and is allowed to bring his/her lunch from home".
