Today in What the Ever Loving Fuck: School officials at Uintah Elementary in Salt Lake City, Utah seized upwards of 40 students’ cafeteria-issued lunches and threw them in the trash this Tuesday — all because the kids had unpaid balances on their lunch accounts. Yes, they punished children too young to have any real concept of debt and the economy by taking one of their fundamental meals away. AMERICA!
The lunches were taken from the children after they had purchased them because, according to Salt Lake City District spokesman Jason Olsen, workers in the cafeteria were not able to see who owed money until making the transaction. The lunches were then put into the garbage because of the hygiene laws surrounding serving food that’s already been served to someone else.
