In an attempt to control childhood obesity, school authorities in North Carolina rummaged through the lunch a four year old brought from home and decided it didn't meet USDA nutritional guidelines so they required her to buy a school provided lunch (of which she only ate three of the fried chicken nuggets), then sent mom a bill for the food.
Upon later review, a spokesperson for the Division of Child Development said the meal from home should have met all nutritional requirements.
The child, described as a petite four year old, already has a bit of disordered eating as she is described as being a picky eater.

I think we're already seeing the law of unintended consequences in North Carolina.
