Wow.
Good thing the US is not currently experiencing a crushing recession and is not trillions of dollars in debt.
Good thing you can afford to install cameras on garbage bins and hire people to watch them so you can know what you already know - that your juvenile delinquent brats are not eating their veggies that your tax dollars are paying for.
Why don't you just have a school program where your brats use their $600 smart phone to take their own picture of what they're throwing away and e-mail the picture to the school board in return for a 25-cent cash credit.
Why is the answer with you people aways -> MORE CAMERAS.
WE NEED MORE CAMERAS.
WE CAN SOLVE ALL OUR PROBLEMS IF WE SURVEIL OURSELVES WITH MORE CAMERAS.
IN THE AIR OVER OUR HOMES, ON FAECEBOOK, IN THE SCHOOLS - MORE CAMERAS.

Lake County considers 'trash-cams' at school cafeterias
Federal law requires veggies on menu, but students toss them
Published On: Oct 02 2012
TAVARES, Fla. -
Lake County School Board officials are considering attaching cameras to school cafeteria trash cans to study what students are tossing after officials found that most of the vegetables on the school menu end up in the trash can.
New federal laws require students to take a healthy produce at lunchtime, but last year in Lake County, students tossed $75,000 worth of produce in the garbage.
"It's a big issue, and it's very hard to get our hands around it," said School Board member Todd Howard, who suggested "trash-cams." "They have to take (the vegetable), and then it ends up in the trash can, and that's a waste of taxpayer money. It's also not giving students the nutrition that they need."
Laurel Walsh, whose daughter attends Tavares Elementary School, says getting kids to eat their fruits and vegetables is not the job of the respective schools. ? "I think it starts at home with the parents. If the kids just don't like it because they've never been given it at home, they're not going to try something new here," she said.
No decisions have been made on the cameras, but school leaders say they wouldn't capture students faces, just what they're throwing away.
