Oh god, that sucks it seems like it's a middle school or elementary school for the prices to be lower. I really don't think they thought this one through, kids can throw school bought food, lunch lines will increase, and homemade lunches offer more of a variety than a milk and an orange/apple each day.
That's... not the topic... Did your read it all the way through? Food fight as in fight for/against food. Not exactly for throwing.

the only thing that really matters here is that they're forcing the kids (and by extension the parents) to pay for the students lunch.
a sandwich, bag of chips, and a drink (+ candy bar, maybe) will usually cost less, is what the article is saying.
i'd say the only way to really stop this is to have all of the children/parents not pay for the lunches, which isn't going to happen because of free/reduced lunch prices for the poorer students, and because it's ridiculous to have the students/children suffer in order to change it.
but really, parents need to just deal w/it. i dunno. i never ate lunch, and when i did, i ate the unhealthy "snack bar" stuff the school sold. cheese sticks all day erryday.

In New York having salt on cafeteria tables has been banned. A girl in my grade brings salt in a bag everyday to school and puts it on her food if needed. I'm a student representative (3 per grade in the middle school) and my fellow reps and I talked to the chef and asked him if we could have other seasonings on the table, because some people complained that the food could use some. He said that he seasoned the food just fine and then threw us out. Lucky for me, I bring my lunch every day.

LOL
*high five*
but i think little salt packets and things should come in your silverware, if it's that plasticey-disposable kind.. right?
Thanks bro *returns high five*
And nope, we just have a bin of plastic forks, knives, and spoons :/
Reminds me of the bratty, whiny kids on Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution that took takeaway into school to sell. You kids just don't seem to appreciate your health :/
This really is not needed, I can understand peanut butter and jelly sandwiches being banned, for purposes of allergy attack prevention, but really, this is pathetic. They could and SHOULD be thinking about something a bit more important, like for example, maybe a better education?
I bring my lunch all the time actually, and my school has no problems with it, except peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are not allowed, due to the large amount of students with that allergy. The school, actually generally, has less healthy things that I could bring from home. Now, a more reasonable ban(say for the purpose of promoting healthy choices) could possibly be a ban on soda/candy.

I actually kind of agree with [nook] on his theory here. It is possible, with the government cutting off some school fundings and schools reluctantly having to drop teachers, they might be itching for more money.
Yay, I said something somewhat smart.
Wait, in the title of the story it makes it seem like the school has had a food fight. That made sense, well not really, for kids not being able to bring their own lunches. My history teacher compared this to what we were learning about the Enlightenment and he was telling us how California's government is really restricting liberties of the people and it goes against some of the ideas such as government existing to protect natural rights of the people and, laws in this case, should be legitimized through the people's consent.
Not quite, she did what she did best: political stunts that do nothing but boost her own bizarre ego.
What I want to know is if the food served there is as bad as the stuff that was served at my school. According to the article, the district was pretty poor, so it seems likely.
