Kudos to the NC Legislators for showing some courage and common sense in this matter. When government interferes with a family and parental rights over - believe it or not... "a turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips and apple juice," then something must be done about the ridiculous situation.

IMHO, the legislature showed courage in doing the right thing by successfully acting to right the wrong, especially under the likelihood of there being an attack from the unofficial, self-appointed "FOOD POLICE!"

Yes I did say food police! Sometimes "emotionally charged" language is necessary when addressing an important, "emotionally charged" issue!

So, what is the next step for the pro "NANNY STATE" individuals within our government? Is it to empower the official "FOOD POLICE" with, spot checks at a family's dining room table? Spy on them at picnics? Place surveillance on them when they go to amusement parks or other venues where food can be obtained? I certainly hope that it doesn't come to that, but without people and organizations being vigilant against such acts, you can never know what could happen or where we could go in the future!
