Programs Let Long Island Parents Track Kids' Eating
ON LONG ISLAND (WCBS 880) - More Long Island school districts are implementing an online system that allows parents to pre-pay and monitor the food their kids eat at school.
Nathan, who is just out of high school, sees the good and bad of it.
"To a degree, I feel, you know, the parents are paying for it, maybe they should be able to see what it is, but it's a little much," Nathan said to WCBS 880 Long Island Bureau Chief Mike Xirinachs. "Have a little trust for your kids at some point. I feel you shouldn't need to track every little thing they do."
Another person says it sounds a bit like "big mother" watching over your diet.
At least three districts, including Eastport-South Manor, so far have tied into the system, with others considering it.
