After the latest case of food fights in the lunch room, Atlantic City High School is punishing students by only serving plain cheese sandwiches for lunch the next 3 days. Students can get six slices of cheese on wheat bread and the cafeteria workers even have shirts made up about the sandwiches. Check out this story from NBC 10 out of Philadelphia:

So what do you think, does the punishment fit the crime? They're not the only district looking to take action as a Paramus middle school has taken away the "fun" parts of graduation after their food fight. Take the poll below the fold and let us know what you think in the comments.

Bravo for the lunch ladies!! (0.00 / 0)

My wife is a lunch lady so I'm totally biased.

These parents who complain have chuitzpah. All they have to do is pack a lunch on those days. If there is something on the menu my kids don't like my wife packs a lunch for them even though she works in the cafeteria.

As far as prison food is concerned, I worked in a prison and the food there was actually pretty good. The prisoners did their own cooking (supervised of course) and served the food themselves.

If these parents and kids think cheese sandwiches are bad, they should just wait for Christie's cuts to the school lunch program. What they'll end up with if Christie has his way will make cheese sandwiches look like Atlantic City subs from the White House sub shop.

They can put ketchup on it (0.00 / 0)

According to federal nutrition guidelines issued by the Reagan Administration a portion of ketchup counts as a vegetable.
