MEALWORMS FOUND IN SCHOOL LUNCH RICE

A Florida school district pulled rice from its menus after an elementary school student found a dead worm in his food and live mealworms were found in uncooked rice. Kelly Steinke, principal at Killarney Elementary School in Winter Park, sent a letter home to parents Tuesday night explaining a student had found a dead mealworm in his food and school employees subsequently found live mealworms in the uncooked rice. Steinke said the mealworms are believed to be non-toxic, but parents were urged to watch their children for symptoms of illness.
* I have a funny feeling there’s going to be a big spike in sack lunches.
* They’re meal worms, but that doesn’t mean they belong in our meals.
* You know, in Africa, kids fight over the mealworms.
* And then they found bookworms in the library!
* Here’s a weird idea: What if they cooks inspected the food before they cooked and served it to our kids?
* Just think of it as a biology lesson and move on.
* This is surprising. Usually worms won’t eat school lunch food.
* Try the tuna casserole. Nothing can survive in that.
* Let me guess: Republicans will find a way to blame this on Michelle Obama.
* So, it’s back to the vending machines then.
