That means a lot of popular snacks are now off the table, including donuts, brownies, potato chips, full flavor pop, candy bars, and most other foods teenagers prefer. Even salt shakers and packets are now illegal.
At Westside High School in Omaha, Nebraska, students who don’t have a regular lunch period often eat from the school’s café, which serves a la carte lunch food. Café manager Jackie Cambridge told KETV finding foods that fit the federal snack rules has “been just about impossible.”
Zipay told the news site lunch cooks have had the same problem, and can’t even serve a turkey sandwich to students because there’s too much sodium. There is now a two-slice limit on salami.
The snack regulations have also caused problems for school fundraisers in numerous districts because the regulations apply to any food sold at school during school hours. Cookies and other traditional bake sale fare is too fatty, or has too much sugar to make the cut.
Georgia recently allowed districts to apply for an exemption from the snack rules which essentially allow schools to sell food for fundraisers without regard to nutritional content during about half of the school year.
Nebraska apparently has a similar exemption process in place for school fundraisers for the next two years, but bake sale food likely will be banned after that, the news site reports.

Someone post Michelle obama stuffing her face. I cannot look!
yes, that was when food stamps were a real help for people in need, not just another ‘givmethat” that we have today.
Yeah I do.. Shake it in the park, shake it in the school, shake it for dessert, shake it after school.. LOL..
Love your post - made me hungry, really hungry for a school lunch. Yes, the boys (I’m assuming you’re a boy!) ate like absolute animals and were thin as whippets. I was forced to take a brown bag lunch with a tiny sandwich. Always famished but no money for a school lunch!
I’m now wondering if we had a small store in high school that opened to sell candy. I can’t remember. I wasn’t allowed to eat it so had no money to buy it
