http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/17/world/asia/india-school-meal-poisoning/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 Apparently the lunches were contaminated with insecticide. There's still investigations going on about it. Dear God, what a travesty. I do hope it is an accident, but it doesn't sound like it. My thoughts and prayers go out to the children and their families.
Whether it's an accident or not remains to be seen, but the fact that the lady noticed something was wrong with the oil and the headmistress STILL told her to use it is another thing altogether. I mean, she could have at least checked it herself, and if she did that might mean this was on purpose, but if she didn't she could very well have checked it when she was told something was wrong.
That is poor decision making. Unfortunately, I see it happening all over the world where poor people aren't given another thought. Even in the U.S. There's also riots exploding all over India because of this.
And this is why I don't trust school lunches. This is sad news. I think this may have sprouted from the cause of ignorance and toughtless actions. How could this pass through lunch inspections? I'm pretty sure in USA, this would not happen (or rarely).
Man I feel bad for the children. Yeah, why didn't the school inspect the food first before feeding them to children? And we're not even sure if it is on purpose or not.
