School Bans Packed Lunches


Guns, drugs, packed lunches. Those are things students at a Chicago middle school are banned from bringing to school. Forcing kids to eat lunches provided by the school is a way to save them from their own bad choices says the principal. The only way around the “brown bag ban” is for students to get a note from their doctor. According to the Chicago Tribune, students complained about the taste of their school-issued lunches and tossed many of them in the trash on a recent visit by reporters. When asked what they would bring if they had the choice, students’ answers ran the gamut—“a banana, orange and some grapes”; “a juice and like a sandwich”—but were all on the healthy side.
