Big Brother is alive and well! Does this alarm anyone else? Anyone find this intrusive? Watch for this invasive policy to goose-step its way into other schools so our children become accustomed to Big Brother wanting a fingerprint.

If we don't protest things such as children being fingerprinted in order to get lunch it won't be long before we'll all be scanned in order to purchase food. It's a disgusting prospect, much like being a tagged animal tracked by a farmer.

Also, did this "technology" cost the taxpayer anything? If not, what does the company offering it hope to gain?

I am with you on this one. There are times that kids should be kids, thinking you can control what they do and what they eat is the most stupidest thing I have ever heard of.

I think some of these schools are intrusive in the way they "police" our kids and their lunches.

My daughter used to take home lunch, she came home one day when she was in 3rd grade to tell me they took away her pudding cup cause it had too much sugar. But what was worse is that they have in their lunches doritos that have MSG in it. I would rather my child have something I know she is eating that I gave her that has calcium in it then something that will give her cancer and health issues later on.

It is sad to think they are wasting so much time watching what they eat instead of what they are learning!

I don't even have doritos at home why would I want it served in school?! I guess as long as it has "fat free" on it that makes it OK? They need to pull their heads out of their butts and let me raise my kids the way I see fit!

People do not understand about school lunch program...under the food program if a item, fruit energy bar or whatever is put on the tr\ay it is tossed into the garbage if the child does not eat it...you cannot let them take it home or give it to anyone else. this is the program that costs millions....so in order ot cut costs to those of the parrrrents who pay for lunchs they have to come up with someway to cover the good food they are suppose to be providing students...I have eaten at schools in three states and it is not very good, and I wonder about the grey hamburger meat and the greasy tacos that the kids get being good for them....someone needs to get come commen sense about food and kids...the food police in schools are as unreal as the wic program that provides food for women, infants and children......the amount of milk and other items given to people is unreal...much of it is sold or given to family memebers...a pregant woman cannot drink the amount of milk she is told to drink without gaining way too much weight, and when you have 3 or 4 children on the program you get the same amount of milk for each child, and end up with more then they drink in the months time...so please someone get real, and feed the kids the way they eat instead of trying to force them to eat like someone in an ivory tower wants them to...the billions of dollors that is wasted across the country with these programs is unreal.....

Isn't St. Louis in Missouri and not Illinois?

Plus the article linked says that parents can OPT OUT of their child getting their fingerprint scanned.

Please read the article before you rant about big brother, people!
