I can't believe they're trying to stop child care providers from cutting up fruits and veggies. It's ridiculous! Let them do their job and feed the kids healthy snacks. This is just another example of government overreach. It's so frustrating!

This bill is so dumb, why can't they just let child care providers do their job?

So, this bill wants to let child care providers cut up fruits and veggies? Why tho? Sounds like a waste of time and money to me. #NotFeelingIt
