Michelle's Obama's Bill could quash school bake sales

Stop the chocolate chip cookies! Hold the pizza! Bill could quash school bake sales

WASHINGTON - Don't touch my brownies! A child nutrition bill on its way to President Barack Obama — and championed by the first lady — gives the government power to limit school bake sales and other fundraisers that health advocates say sometimes replace wholesome meals in the lunchroom.

Republicans, notably Sarah Palin, and public school organizations decry the bill as an unnecessary intrusion on a common practice often used to raise money.

"This could be a real train wreck for school districts," Lucy Gettman of the National School Boards Association said Friday, a day after the House cleared the bill. "The federal government should not be in the business of regulating this kind of activity at the local level."

So the freedoms continue to go away. Its none of the Governments business what local schools and school district do or don't do,

Obama should squash fundraising.

As a fat, constipated, overweight American, I'm deeply offended by this affront to my precious personal freedoms. Future generations of hideously fat American young will surely thank me for my courageous stand.

You can have my brownie when you pry it from my dead, bloated, chocolate covered fingers.
:chocolate:

When school bake sales are outlawed, only outlaws will have school bake sales!

Bake sales, and my oatmeal cookies go hand in hand! Along with brownies, and other goodies..

Salad sales instead of bake sales. Why didn't I think of that!

So instead of home baked goods, kids will just buy Twinkies after school?

No. Instead of buying cookies, donuts and cupcakes with their lunch money, they will buy a well balanced, nutritious school lunch instead.

Hoo Gnu?!?!

How many kids buy bake sale items with their lunch money? Isn't that usually the parents buying bake sale items??
