We really should turn over something important, like healthcare, to government!
Classic example of unintended consequences. If only politicians could take lessons from doctors in "first rules". When you enunciate a moral good (that kids eat less and healthier lunches) and attempt to use government to dictate it, though, you will invariable get it wrong and be swamped with unintended side effects. The point being: the Federal government has no business sticking it's nose into school lunches. (Hat Tip: Shelly Fox)
Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel Editorial
By 7 a.m. Monday, senior Nick Blohm already had burned about 250 calories in the Mukwonago High School weight room.
He grabbed a bagel and a Gatorade afterward; if he eats before lifting, he gets sick.
That was followed by eight periods in the classroom, and then three hours of football practice. By the time he headed home, he had burned upward of 3,000 calories - his coach thinks the number is even higher.
But the calorie cap for his school lunch? 850 calories.

Allowing your kids to play on scooters outside the house on a quiet street seems innocent--and common--enough. But a Texas mom was arrested and spent the night in jail after a neighbor complained that the children were unsupervised.
The parent, Tammy Cooper, disputes the "humiliating" charge, saying she was watching the kids, ages 6 and 9, the whole time from a lawn chair.
