The Government Is Cracking Down on School Bake Sales !!! Thank goodness the Obama administration is on top of this emerging crisis !!! Will Obama call out the National Guard to deal with this insurrection ? The Government Is Cracking Down on School Bake Sales [ link to www.nationaljournal.com] Barely a month after federal regulations for school cafeterias kicked in, states are already pushing back.
Specifically, they're fighting nutrition standards that would considerably alter one of the most sacred rituals of the American public school system: bake sales.
Twelve states have established their own policies to circumvent regulations in the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 that apply to "competitive snacks," or any foods and beverages sold to students on school grounds that are not part of the Agriculture Department's school meal programs, according to the National Association of State Boards of Education. Competitive snacks appear in vending machines, school stores, and food and beverages, including items sold at bake sales
