Remember when I was all worked up over the crap they call food in school lunchrooms....and how "they" took a kid's lunch and gave her the school's food instead because it was better?
Well there you have it. Just so we are clear - the fast food places won't serve this anymore... but they are gonna sell it to the schools and then feed it to your kids. Super. Duper. Just so's ya know... I won't feed that to my dogs.
And just in case you need a little more reinforcement... Get a load of this guy and why he won't buy ground meat from the store. Everyone knows that you can grind your own meat at home, right? And stuff like sausage is just ground meat with seasoning and you can do that yourself, right?
Or you can ask your butcher counter to grind some beef for you - just get a better cut out of the case, hand it to him, smile, and say "Hey buddy - will you grind this for me?" Easy peasy.
However, if we've just walked thru and burst into fits of laughter at our classic joke "Hey do we need ham?" the butcher guy might just be crying. Our poor meat counter guy, honest, we aren't laughing at him. Just in his general direction. We about fell over each other a couple days ago when we looked into the meat case for the first time in months. No thank you.
So when I'm prattling on and on about raw milk - remember it is not just about raw milk. Its about YOU being able to grow and eat the food that you want to with out anybody - including school lunch inspectors - telling you that you can't.
Happy Friday everyone - are you really going to send your kid to school with lunch money after reading and watching these articles? Ick. Lets just chalk this up to reason 942 why home schooling may not be such a bad idea.

I'm so glad I left school lunches behind when I started cyber schooling!
I'm soooo with you. THANKS for spreading the warnings! My friends and I often feel that few moms are taking notice.
So lets feed our children ammonium hydroxide-treated ground connective tissue and meat scraps/crud also known as pink slime meat because it's cheap...yep, that's pretty much all you need to know about the good old USDA.
Autumn you are one of the luckiest girls I know to have cyber school!
Amen!! Thanking my lucky stars I am able to homeschool my kiddos. However, it's making the need to get a barn built an even bigger priority. Can't really raise my own goats with out one!! After the nugget pink slime story my hubby was full on board to raise some meaties this spring.
Really considering home schooling my 2 boys next year. The elementary where I live has pretty good lunches, with healthy options - but after you posted that bit about the childs' lunch from home being taken away, I checked out the middle and high school menus. Whoa - big difference! And they have the option for cheeseburgers (aka slime-burgers) and pizza EVERYDAY! And what do you think teenagers are going to go for? Thank you for bringing this to our attention!!
I'm looking for the LIKE button on your site. My daughter and I are seriously considering working together to home school her newborn. Now if we can only figure out how to hide laying hens in the backyard...
I guess we can cozy up to the Animal Control agent (like the CatLady) so we can get a pass on city ordinances (28 cats with a 5 pet limit in town).
I saw a bit on TV recently about Chicken Nuggets. When chicken breasts are processed through a roller to flaten them out to make uniform breast patties, meat builds up on the rollers. They then scrape off this residue and make Chicken Nuggets. YUMMM!
What...they are pulling the pink slime from McDonalds hamburgers? Next thing you know they will stop using Solyent Green as well!
yep I love my grinder!
Leslie - I'm continually shocked at what folks feed their kids. Or themselves.
Mr. H, what gets me is that FAST FOOD places don't even want this crap anymore. That has got to be bad!
Deborah - watch out! Once you grow your own meat you'll never go back to grocery-store meat. Great job!
Tracy - They didn't let us go off school property. Now they just serve up the fast food there. Sheesh!
Cindy - when she's ready there are a lot of online programs. Schools have really gone downhill.
Swamp Dog - yep we talked about chicken nuts here: http://adventuresinthegoodland.blogspot.com/2012/01/chicken-mcnuts.html
CC - its so bad they couldnt make this stuff up if they tried.
Dave - we have one for our KitchenAide - it works great!
