For the record, I have no idea what prison food looks like but I did check the internet so I think I’m on solid ground.
I’m getting reports that schools in Dover, New Hampshire (Say hi to Democrat Sherry Frost, that is where she lives) are “mistreating” students, but there’s no rule or law to prevent it.
Long Story Short – since kids had to go back to in-person learning, the experience has been less than hospitable. Students have to carry water bottles and gear around and need to find and use a ‘Bottle filler’ or go thirsty. All the bubblers (water fountains to you folks south and west) are locked down. Kids without bottles or time drink from the bathroom faucets when thirsty.
This would be the expert-approved Hygienic (still in a pandemic) public health solution for students in Dover Public Schools.
Hydration is not a priority, nor is sanitation.
Maybe they can put a hose outside for them to share as well. You can drink out of the hose without getting the mouthparts all over it.
And they are outside. I mean, the school kicks them out.
The cafeteria plan, as I understand it lives under the pall of COVID Cult politics. Groups of kids get a few minutes to eat inside then get forced outside to prevent “unhealthy crowding” in the facility. One resident reports almost hitting kids fooling around along and in the road.
Safety first!
Then there’s the food, which many – I am told – are not even bothering to eat. This example is what is passing for adequate nutrition at Dover public school. The victim of this meal described it as a piece of cold pizza, six cold fries, and a tangerine.
The container looks delicious, but Styrofoam? That’s not very green, and unless they pay extra for the biodegradable corn-starch version – and looking at this “feast,” I doubt they’re stretching the budget for packaging – this is destroying the oceans and the planet™. That’s what I hear.
Well, maybe not. I think it is being weighed down in the trash by the food, so it can’t blow away.
The fries are the vegetable, I assume – potatoes are to vegetables (of late) what Pluto is to planets. People keep changing their minds. I call them a vegetable (delicious and versatile) but the odds that Dover and I agree on much are speculative and even thinner than you’d be living off these lunches (is this a subtle form of fat-shaming?).
Zero Michelin Stars for this, I’m afraid.
Do they do negative stars?
This lunch looks awful and I hear the school frowns on kids taking pictures of what they feed them. I can see why.
One concerned resident has been reaching out to the School Board, the City of Dover, the Department of Ed, and State Health and Human Services. The response on drinking was,“[T]here is no requirement as per this form to provide water fountains over water bottle fillers.
The same resident has reached out to elected officials, and none seems to think any of this is an issue, but just a few years back, Democrats wouldn’t shut up about it. Michelle Obama’s pet project (after the fake White House Garden, Portuguese Water-Torture Dog, and planning expensive vacations for her massive entourage to swanky global destinations) was school lunches.
The Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act micromanaged school lunches because decent meals at school (two or three if possible) were essential to learning. That was the marketing ploy. Many kids hated them, tossed them out, went hungry, and maybe that’s what Dover is doing, and that’s why they are so lousy.
But the conversation (rhetoric) was laser-focused “from day one” on nutrition for children.
You could launder taxpayer dollars through your local school lunch program if you served the recommended crap (kids wouldn’t eat). And maybe that’s where we are now.
Dover is still pimping the Dem intervention Michello meals but with forced outdoor dining, and wouldn’t that garden hose come in handy right about now?
Look, lunch is proof that government ruins everything. And I know I’ve made light of the topic, but this is serious business. If that’s lunch, then the food service is like the education.
Lousy and not good for kids, and more parents need to get involved.
