WTF?
"At Utah school, there really was no such thing as a free lunch"
(CNN) -- "Dozens of children at a Utah elementary school had their lunch trays snatched away from them before they could take a bite this week."
"Salt Lake City School District officials say the trays were taken away at Uintah Elementary School Tuesday because some students had negative balances in the accounts used to pay for lunches. But they admit the situation should have been handled differently."
"Instead of regular lunches, the students were given fruit and milk."
"We don't ever let kids go without any food entirely," Salt Lake City School District spokesman Jason Olsen told CNN affiliate KSL."
"Mother Erica Lukes told KSL she was "blindsided" when her daughter, a fifth grader, described what a school district official told her: "You don't have any money in your account, so you can't get lunch."
"There were a lot of tears," Lukes said, "and it was pretty upsetting for them."
