Teacher takes away 5-year-old kindergartener's breakfast for being 'too unhealthy', doesn't give him a replacement: 'My poor boy was so confused and hungry when I got him'

We all have a fundamental human right to food. We might not always make the best choices about what food to put in our bodies, but that doesn't mean we deserve to be hungry or have our food taken away from us! This story follows an educator who believes that children who are served food she deems insufficient deserve to go hungry. As absurd as it might sound, it's a more common story than you'd think. 

A mom sent her 5-year-old son to school with a croissant, apple slices, banana chips, and sunflower seeds. I don't know about you all, but that's a much more balanced breakfast than I'm used to having. Instead of letting the child eat his food, his teacher took it away, saying it was too unhealthy. Luckily, the mom stood up for herself and her son, but there was no reason this had to happen in the first place.
