A condiment crackdown in the Eastport-South Manor Central School District is causing quite a stir among some students.

Originally, students would get their ketchup, mustard or mayonnaise at pump stations. But now they're limited to either one or two packets, depending on the meal.

Fourth-grader Cameron says a packet or two is not enough for his meal. And sixth-grader Colin calls the situation "kinda stupid."

Assistant Superintendent Tim Laube says it's not the district's decision -- it's enforced by New York state. He says they "can't properly calculate how much sugar and sodium in the meal" if kids are using "unlimited amounts of ketchup."

The district emailed parents about the change last week.

"I thought it was a joke," says Heather Wolters, who thinks the rule is excessive. "I actually thought it had something to do with the financial crisis that our district was in."

Laube says the district is following state rules because if it doesn't, it could lose the state funding for free and reduced meals for students in need.

The school district says it's not the only one that follows the rule.
