I saw this posted on Wendolonia's facebook page: http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110411/us_yblog_thelookout/chicago-school-bans-homemade-lunches-the-latest-in-national-food-fight
As she said, I'm sure this rule was made with good intentions but I'd be FURIOUS if I was banned from making my child's lunch!
That's ridiculous. I will admit that some of the packed lunches I see at school are kind of ridiculous -- junk food galore -- but the school lunch isn't much better. There's lots of fried foods and things passed off as fruit that aren't (like a blue popsicle = frozen juice bar).
