Kids lunch replaced because it was NOT healthy enough

[pontooner]

Where did you read that? I didn't find it in the Carolina Journal article. In fact the article had this: While the mother and grandmother thought the potato chips and lack of vegetable were what disqualified the lunch, a spokeswoman for the Division of Child Development said that should not have been a problem.

"With a turkey sandwich, that covers your protein, your grain, and if it had cheese on it, that's the dairy," said Jani Kozlowski, the fiscal and statutory policy manager for the division. "It sounds like the lunch itself would've met all of the standard." The lunch has to include a fruit or vegetable, but not both, she said.

Saw them talking to someone from the school on CNN who said that's what happened.

WELL after doing some of my OWN digging.........I found this:

http://publicmind.fdu.edu/2011/knowless/

* That is the group that did the poll
* 600 people...........
* ALL from New Jersey

Yea, GREAT FREAKIN poll, and a brilliant example WHY I HATE the MEDIA.....and more importantly why I'm totally, TOTALLY disgusted with liberals........and conservatives that use bullcrap polls like this. All it does is generate a list of CRAPPY misinformation.

I can give you a billion examples of National polls and national statistics.

I can also GUARANTEE you that most smart liberals and most smart conservatives know that some media outlets are slanted.

I used to think you fell into that category, but I'm not too sure anymore.

Later,

Geo

LOL, I knew when I posted that it would get you in a uproar over the attack on the all mighty alter that is Fox News. If you notice I did say "just for fun" when I posted it.

Most polls are usually done using small numbers of people that fit into larger demograpic groups, in this case I would assume it used people who watched Fox, CNN, NPR.... as their news sources and I would think they required a certain amount of time watching their prefered source before being allowed to participate. Both of these should cause no different outcome in the results no matter where they polled because it's the same Fox News, CNN, NPR.... in NJ as it is any where else.

I know that polls, stats and the like can be worded to get the desired results but I'm not sure this is the case here. JMHO


I really don't prefer any of the media outlets and watch a little of all of them when I have a chance but Fox News and MSNBC leave a really bad taste in my mouth after about 15 min of watching either one.

They should have used the United State as a sample, not a foreign country like New Jersey. They don't even believe in the U.S. Constitution in New Jersey.

How bout this...the government do what the constitution says it should do and leave me and my family alone. I will raise my kids and feed my kids the way I feel they should be fed and raised. Required....I'm getting tired of my government "requiring" me to do things. Just leave me alone. You think they are are worried about what your kids are eating? Just wait, if they ever get government mandated health care they will be telling you what you can and can't eat, for the good of the "collective". Oh wait they already did that to us. Wont be long now! A great man once said that government is the problem, not the answer. I wish we could get that guy back.
