Another Nanny state update aka Occupy the school cafeteria aka students revolt against Michelle Obama's draconian diet.

L.A. schools' healthful school lunches panned by LAUSD students - Los Angeles Times

Many of the meals are being rejected en masse. Participation in the school lunch program has dropped by thousands of students. Principals report massive waste, with unopened milk cartons and uneaten entrées being thrown away. Students are ditching lunch, and some say they're suffering from headaches, stomach pains and even anemia. At many campuses, an underground market for chips, candy, fast-food burgers and other taboo fare is thriving.

LOL, like who couldn't have seen that coming? I mean besides Michelle. Doesn't' she know there are kids starving all over the world and thanks to her we have "massive" food waste at home now?

[tomder55]

They threw the black bean burgers away . The spark of Samuel Adams, the Sons of Liberty... the original Tea partiers

[talaniman]

Kids don't run nothing. In my house you ate what you had in front of you, or you didn't eat.

Just wait until the parents get involved, as they should be. When did we start letting kids do as they please??

[tomder55]

Yeah I wasn't given such option. My mom packed a sandwich for me to eat. Sounds like that is a better deal than the gruel the schools are trying to pass off as a palatable alternative. When I did get lunch money, mom wasn't around when I traded the money in for ice cream instead of the barfaroni the school tried to serve me.

You don't know when you are well off, we have manged to survive without school canteens, I wonder how we did it, and yet wherever these are established there is controversy about the standard of nutrition, etc. Yet you think that providing nutritous food as distinct from fast food crapolla is an expression of the nany state. Why not just contract McDonalds and KFC to runn the school canteens

[tomder55]

Great idea. Although I would opt for something like pizza hut . As you know ;a pizza has all the food groups and is a complete nutritious meal .

Yes this is why we observe pizza joints going out of business more rapidly than banks in Europe, the public don't want to eat healthy.

Nanny state update, the new, illegally appointed consumer protection czar wants to examine overdraft fees because apparently, the feds think Americans are too stupid to know how to avoid them.

"Overdraft practices have the capacity to inflict serious economic harm on the people who can least afford it," CFPB Director Richard Cordray said in a statement. "We want to learn how consumers are affected, and how well they are able to anticipate and avoid paying penalty fees."

I can anticipate paying penalty fees no problem, I don't spend more money than I have in the bank. Seems a no-brainer to me but then we have a president and Treasury Secretary (who couldn't do his taxes) that think our federal debt rising to 900 percent of the GDP is a good thing.

Don't spend more than you have in the bank and voilà, no overdraft fees.

[paraclete]

You don't spend more money than you have in the bank? But observe, your nation does just that, can you expect the population to do otherwise?

It is a little known axiom that what goes with leadership comes down on the population, so a spendthrift government begets a spendthrift nation

Illegal Bank Fees - Reports

Bank Overdraft Fees Attorney | Deceptive Bank Practices

As we see the banks have already been found guilty of illegal overdraft fees, yet they still do it. Why because they can target the poor and uneducated, and make big money. Nice try Speech, but to make this a simplistic criticism of others especially youngsters with NO experience takes away from the culpibility of the big banks who make their money illegally through these sophisticated practices. That's why they are looking into it.

All they big banks have been sued, and lost, and forced to pay, and still they do it. Go figure.

But of course its easier too blame the victims and not the crooks.

[paraclete]

Yes Tal the problem of bank gouging their customers is everywhere but in a victory for the customer our banks were prevented from charging a break fee when a mortgage is discharged early ~- a tick for the nanny state

[talaniman]

For what reason would anyone not want someone not working in their behalf against those very corporations that have ripped the consumer of so easily in the past?

[paraclete]

Well Tal I think it is because they have a religious affiliation with capitalism, that is they worship money.

Capitalism is not a religious concept, in fact, it is antithesis of what most religions teach. The idea that you should grab all you can is man's idea not God's. Your nation suggest it trusts in God but in fact this isn't true, just a nice sounding platitude

[speechlesstx]

you don't spend more money than you have in the bank? But observe, your nation does just that, can you expect the population to do otherwise?

Um, yes I commented on that, "we have a president and Treasury Secretary (who couldn't do his taxes) that think our federal debt rising to 900 percent of the GDP is a good thing."

It is a little known axiom that what goes with leadership comes down on the population, so a spendthrift government begets a spendthrift nation

How about this instead, a government that tells its people it's someone else's fault they're irresponsible begets an irresponsible nation.

Totally in agreement!!

He never said it was a good thing, no one did, but they do say it was necessary thing to do, in light of the robbery perpetrated by the banking sector on the GLOBAL economy.

So the people are responsible for the actions of Wall Street, regulators, and Banks, REALLY??

Wrong, we are no more greedy than anyone else. In fact and you know this, we are the most generous nation on the planet. The amount we give privately and publicly dwarfs everyone else no matter how you spin it.

What we value is freedom.

What we value is freedom.

Hello again,

I'm AMAZED by how quickly you wingers ZOOM between your absolute hatred of the nanny state here, and the thread where you support a government official being posted in every doctors office in the nation...

And, you do it without blinking an eye...

Forget it EX, righties DO NOT compromise on their right to tell you how wrong you are about everything.
