It's one thing to make sure that the food which school provides in lunch lines meet certain requirements, but now the government in the UK is going to require that lunches which parents pack for children also don't contain anything that the government doesn't like.  If they do?  Well, they'll take the lunch away.  No word yet on whether that child will be able to go into the lunch line for free, or expected to go hungry for a day instead of having a verboten Twinkie:

Under the Government's obesity strategy, all schools will be expected to design a "healthy lunchbox policy" on what makes a nutritional packed lunch over the next year.

Some parents may even be asked to sign a form agreeing to ban unhealthy foods from their children's lunches.

If a packed lunch is deemed to contain too much fat and sugar, parents could be sent warning letters or their children's meals confiscated.

Yes, this is in a completely different country... but the reality is that the United States tends be just a few years behind England in stupid policies anyway.  So we need to use them as a canary in the coal mine as it were.  It is increasingly becoming the policy of government policy makers that children are all wards of the state, and that parent's do not deserve say in how they are raised.  Welcome to The Brave New World.
