The food Nazis are on the hunt through suburban school lunch boxes. Food is no longer a private matter in our educational institutions; parents are quaking in their shoes, terrified that they will be judged on the efficacy of their social responsibility and parenting skills by the contents of the humble pail.  The fallout of which means becoming social pariahs based on white bread, or the inclusion of a Tim Tam. Teachers peer beneath the lids of the not so humble receptacles (very seldom now a simple plastic box – they’re now themed, decorated, iced, chilled, heated, layered, compartmentalised and sheathed) and “tut tut”, or shake their heads at a child’s humble peanut butter sandwich or limp carrot. penberthyd@newsltd.com.au (David Penberthy) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/Food-allergy-fascists-make-peanuts-of-us-all/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/Food-allergy-fascists-make-peanuts-of-us-all/#item2554 Sat, 26 May 2012 20:00:49 +0000 M30o93H7pQ09L8X1t49cHY01Z5j4TT91fGfr
