A woman received a fine after school administrators said that the mother did not prepare a well-balanced lunch for her children, according to school officials in Canada.
However, the Manitoba mother said she does not blame the day care for the fine because she approved the new rules.
Kristen Bartkiw of Rossburn, said she received a fine of $10 when it was discovered that the lunch consisting of beef roast, carrots, potatoes and juice that she sent with her young children to The Little Cub’s Den, was unbalanced due to the lack of grains.
The school had to give the kids Ritz crackers.
"I do not blame the day care," Bartkiw, who served on the board of the day care when it adopted the rules to fine parents, said.
Manitoba Early Learning and Child Care requires day cares to provide nutritional elements missing from children’s lunch. The food must include a dairy, a meat, a grain and two servings of fruits or vegetables.

Now, police are looking for the thieves, who cut themselves while breaking into the gym. Police said they returned with a can of white paint in order to cover their blood.

Owner Keith Kendrick, 30, said he was alerted to the theft by a phone call at 8:00 a.m. on the same day.
"I got a call saying that the trucks had been burned. Then I got another call saying they had been in the gym too. I could not believe it, I was devastated," Kendrick said.
In today’s busy world it is hard for parents to find the time to do homework with their kids or to attend a parenting workshop.
Now, parents in the United kingdom, will receive money as an incentive to do so.
Parent will get paid over £600 (about $1,000) to learn techniques on how to better help their children with their homework.
Parents will get the money to attend a new "parenting academy" where they will learn how to improve their child's skills in reading, writing, math and science.
The program will cost about £1 million to launch.
The program will start with about 1,500 families of 14 elementary schools focused on Middlesbrough and Camden, in north London.
Parents of children under 11-years-old will attend the academy six times each term. The classes will last about 90 minutes each.
Parents will receive a grant of about £600 for attending, although the amount has not yet been finalized.
The program is being run by Education Endowment Foundation, a fund set up with £125 million government funds in an attempt to raise the standards in poor areas.
"I have doubts about simply paying them, but if the money enables parents to take time off work in order to attend the courses, it could be very helpful," Brian Lightman, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said.
