Not all Lunches are created equal

THE FRUITS OF TOP-DOWN “FAIRNESS”: Lunch Lady In Sweden told to stop making fresh bread and varied vegetables. It’s not fair to kids in other schools.  (Remember how they always tell us Sweden is socialism that works?  It’s sort of like saying it’s insanity few complain about.)- Sara Hoyt

Not all lunches are created equal, but when someone makes one that is really good, she must be stopped. Mediocrity is Law.  And Liberals say Harrison Bergeron is a satire. Yeah, sure it is. Till it isn't.

The same damn thing would happen here. I'd love to see someone try.

Any brave lunchladies out there?

What a perfect example of the mediocrity of collectivism. You can't have it good because everybody can't have what you have. It's such a pathetic ideology.

Well, hell, as one commenter wrote, why focus on just what the other schools or the whole country is eating when it can be mandated that no Swede eats better than anyone in Ethiopia.

That is the logical conclusion to their "logic", isn't it? After all, 16,000 children per day literally starve to death. How dare any Swede or anyone else consume a meal when others cannot.

But put that in their faces, and you'll get nothing but bluster.

This decision reminds me of children holding their breath at the cemetery (without the whimsy) because it's impolite to breathe when others can't.

Years ago my kids and I participated in a neighborhood mom & tots group.  One of the moms who basically set up all the outings for us sent out a note that when we visited a local museum we would be allowed to bring our own lunch in which everyone should do.  She said in the note not to buy anything from the cafeteria so the kids who didn't get anything from the cafe wouldn't feel bad.

As the mom of one of those kids who wouldn't be getting anything from the cafe I was ticked.  I almost bought something but instead my kids and I had a discussion on how in our family we understand we have our way of doing things and it may be different than others. We talked about how sometimes choices we make cause us to stick out from the crowd but that's better than the alternative. Plus teaching kids that sort of message the mom put out in her note does a disservice to kids.

" Brave lunchladies " ?  In some of our schools even mom's can't pack a lunch for their kids without it being scrutinized by "the teachers" !

I don't know about y'all but back in my day the lunch ladies often had about as much charm as a womens prison guard!   ::speechless::
