Teacher might get fired for eating homemade lunch in front of kids

Carissa Lee O'Connell, a teacher's aide at a Honolulu preschool, could've lost her job by the time you read this — because of what she packs in her lunch bag. O'Connell adheres to an organic diet to control severe allergies, but the school has threatened to fire her if she eats her homemade meals in front of the kids. According to administrators, O'Connell can either eat the square fish patties and pizza slices that the school provides (so she can "field questions" about the school lunch) or she can scarf her own meal during a separate 10-minute break. "She's got a choice to either keep her job or keep her health," says O'Connell's husband, who packs her lunch every day. [Source]
