Nanny State to Confiscate Children's Incorrect Meals
Britain's totalitarian Nanny State has found a new menace against which to defend its subjects: the lunches parents pack in their kids' lunchboxes.
Under the Government's obesity strategy, all schools will be expected to design a "healthy lunchbox policy" on what makes a nutritional packed lunch over the next year.
Some parents may even be asked to sign a form agreeing to ban unhealthy foods from their children's lunches.
If a packed lunch is deemed to contain too much fat and sugar, parents could be sent warning letters or their children's meals confiscated.
No aspect of human existence will escape bureaucratic supervision and regulation. But anything having to do with children takes special priority, because the State must usurp the role of parents before it can attain the progressive dream of destroying the family, which threatens its absolute hegemony. This is why the government uses your money to pay women to have children out of wedlock.
On a tip from V the K.

It will also desensitize future taxpayers to arbitrary searches as well as the 'knock on the door in the middle of the night'.

No doubt, if the parents put something wrong in the kiddie's lunch, they'll be getting a visit and a fine from the "Healt food" police.

Also, did you notice the sample "healthy" lunchbox lunch?
Health Secretary Alan Johnson and Schools Secretary Ed Balls praised a Hertfordshire school which has designed lunchbox menu ideas for parents.
These include falafel and houmous pitta bread with a tomato and avocado salad, followed by fruit yoghurt.
Falafel and hummus...hmmm, now where is that really popular?

Hmmm, maybe parents could put stickers on the lunch boxes telling the bureaucrats to FO (though not exactly in these words) and threatening legal action if their rights to determine what goes into their child's lunch are not respected.

UK Schools inviting Imams to brain wash our children and now the thought police going through their lunch.
I think that home schooling is starting to look appealing....
