To make the statement that "because the inspector didn't like" would entail knowledge that the inspector didn't pass it based on unprofessional judgement.
I don't see that.
What I do see is the usual outrage people decide to get their two minutes hate over "BECAUSS OF DA EBIL GUMMINT!11!"

And "Mother knows best" has served the south so well in dealing with childhood obesity.
Probability alone, this is more likely a slanted story constructed to provoke outrage.
Oh, and about the three nuggets thing?
Anyone who's wailing about "three nuggets" needs to get their head out of their ass and note that the child is not precluded medically from eating food.
She just won't.
That's not a case of government haywire. It's a case of a spoiled brat and a grandmother who more likely enables her.
Quote:“What got me so mad is, number one, don’t tell my kid I’m not packing her lunch box properly,” the girl’s mother told CJ. “I pack her lunchbox according to what she eats. It always consists of a fruit. It never consists of a vegetable. She eats vegetables at home because I have to watch her because she doesn’t really care for vegetables.”
The guidelines call for either two servings fruit, two servings vegetable or a combination of each. Derp derp derp.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
