Should a School Lunch lady force a child to eat?

lunch bags for ladies image

A parent packs a sandwich, drink and snacks for their child. The child doesn't like the taste of the turkey sandwich. Does the Lunch Lady have to right to take away the lunch bag and pull up a chair and sit and watch and force the child to eat the WHOLE sandwich before she will return his lunch bag?

The child then feels like throwing up because of forcing down a sandwich that he didn't want or like the way the turkey tasted.

What should a parent do about a situation like this? The child is in Middle School.
Hey BubbleHead..

The child usually enjoys turkey sandwiches etc. It's not the Lunch Ladies Job to make sure the child eats healthy it's the parents job. The whole point was the child didn't like the way it tasted as in bad tasting and who is the lunch lady to take away the bag regardless of what snacks were in there and pull up a chair and sit there gawking at him until he swallowed the whole sandwich. I'm sure she wouldn't do it to her daughter who was sitting at the same lunch table. And if the parents chooses to let the child eat junk food that is the parents choice and not the almight lunch lady whos little power went to her head. No kid should be policed and forced to eat regardless so they go home hungry. And your answering was useless and bubbledhead....bubbles air between the ears totally fits.

Answer
NO WAY!! Take it to the principal and if that gets no where, attend the next school board meeting. THAT will get results. Of course you might want to try approaching the lunch lady herself first. An Outrage!

Answer
Complain to the school principal. She had no right to do that. What if the turkey tasted funny because it had gone bad? The child could have gotten sick. The lunch lady was out of line.
