    I work for headstart.. children with allergies are served alternatives. No brown bagging allowed.

    The Head Start Program is a program of the United States Department of Health and Human Services that provides comprehensive education, health, nutrition, and parent involvement services to low-income children and their families.

    No Wonder! Government run !

    Exactly! The Nanny State is killing us! :mad:


    I would go for the doctor's note if it were me. Remind this government institution about federal laws, and they can't turn you down without facing a lawsuit. Bastages! All of them! :explode:

    Do they search you when you go into work? Could you sneak in a couple protein bars or something until you get a doctor's excuse written? I am baffled by this whole thing. What does everyone else at work do about the food?

    Are you full time? Surely you are given a lunch break? What prevents you from eating a brought lunch on your lunch break?
    What prevents her from eating a brought lunch? The rules. That's the point of the thread.

    I didn't necessarily mean within the building...on her lunch break she should have the right to leave the building and go home or eat in her car. That was my point.

    Headstart and boy we run a tight ship.. I have thought about getting doctors note. Breaded fake nuggets, lots of canned green beans they also add seasoning to. Some frozen veggies for soups. Grits turkey sausage. Sometimes ground turkey for spaghetti .. the food is awful. Canned peaches strawberrys in a sugary syrup.. ugh..


    Sad for you and sad for the kids! Ugh! Well, frozen veg is better than canned, turkey sausage is ok.....can you pull together a reasonable lunch from a couple entrees and throw away the rest? Whoever said "Big Government, you scary" is so right.

    School nutrition seems to get some good attention in the media these days. Maybe all of you teachers and staff need to start writing letters.
