NJ cafeteria workers punish food-fighting students

Atlantic City: Students at New Jersey`s Atlantic City High School have learned not to mess with the lunch ladies.Cafeteria workers served only cheese sandwiches Wednesday and Thursday as punishment for a food fight.

School Superintendent Fredrick Nickles says the school supplies only the basic food requirement when there`s been a food-throwing incident. Nickles says the policy has been effective over the years. Only the group that engaged in the fight out of the school`s three lunch periods was punished. Parent Bridgitte Reid became angry after her daughter explained the menu. Reid called it "prison food." A full meal was on the menu for students Friday. Bureau Report
