Tracking system that monitors children's eating habits exists

Do you know what your children really eat at school? CNN.com says there's a way you can find out.

Houston, Texas is one of the many areas with schools that use Primero Food Service Solutions-a tracking system that allows parents to monitor their kids eating habits.

The system also:

  • to set up prepaid lunch accounts so children don't have to carry money
  • go online to track their child's eating habits and make changes
  • Gives cashiers set up allergies or parent-set diet restrictions for cashiers for students

Cybersoft Technologies is responsible for the system.

The article says that not only is the system is being used in "Arizona, Oklahoma, Michigan and Tennessee, as well as other Texas cities" but other companies are using similar systems with other schools. This may be the start of something big. Sorry kids.
