Is this too much?

It seems crazy to me that this kind of thing could actually happen. Isn't this a bit too intrusive?

Apparently not because she was on the board of the daycare when they made the decision lol. I see their logic of trying to stop kids being sent to this place with only junk food, since they're the ones who have to deal with unruly kids all day & Jamie Oliver proved food is a huge factor in childhood behaviour.

However, I think the fine/penalty should only be levied if they're missing most/all of the nutrition requirements. All around that was a solid lunch, a fine for missing one aspect of an otherwise healthy lunch is stupid.

What about this? Drivers forced off the road into a parking lot to submit DNA samples including blood & saliva for a government research study on drunk driving. Police escorts etc, no mention it's voluntary/you can opt out etc. That's kinda fucked - http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/North-Texas-Drivers-Stopped...

Or this, father arrested for picking up child from school by foot instead of arriving by car. http://thefreethoughtproject.com/father-arrested-pick-specia... & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8r-bdcvx8E

horseshit. i understand the point - ensuring children are getting a good, balanced, healthy meal - but this is following the letter of the law WAY too closely. like ritz crackers are a nutritious choice.
