milktreeI heard on the radio last night that the NYC public school system has made a rule against home-made goodies at bake-sale like things that school organizations use to raise funds for activities.
You know, like the band wanting new uniforms, or the science fiction club wanting more bookshelves, or the biathlon team wanting new rifles. (that last one seems unlikely, but you get my meaning)
Get this: The reason they can't make their own brownies and cookies and candied apples is not because there might be razor blades in them or undocumented peanuts or under-cooked eggs, but because there's no nutritional information on them.
Seriously, it's OK to sell Doritos or Tang or Twinkies or pork rind, but not homemade cookies, because at least you know how bad the Twinkies are for you.
How did all the stupid people get in control of stuff?
I hope I simply misunderstood the article, but I don't think so, based on the "what the hell?" tone of voice of the person reporting it.
