Turns out, it's school bake sales.
Bake sales, the calorie-laden standby cash-strapped classrooms, PTAs and booster clubs rely on, will be outlawed from public schools as of Aug. 1 as part of new no-nonsense nutrition standards, forcing fundraisers back to the blackboard to cook up alternative ways to raise money for kids.
I haven't purchased school bake sale goods in well over a decade, which explains why I'm whip thin.
Cue the bureaucrat: "State Sen. Susan Fargo (D-Lincoln), chairwoman of the Joint Committee on Public Health, said the problem of overweight children has reached “crisis” proportions. 'If we didn’t have so many kids that were obese, we could have let things go,' Fargo said."
Gosh, the government can fix everything. It's like Jesus and Superman combined. Of course, if state funding hadn't been cut from athletic/outdoors programs, I doubt this would be an issue. That's why obesity isn't such a problem at private schools.
