Are they doing this for health or to help modify behavior problems? This was unheard of when I was a middle-school student.

A Berkeley store owner has agreed to stop selling candy bars and sodas to middle school students who come to his store for a morning fix in a move school officials say is a first in the city.

So when are the schools going to stop feeding the students minds with candy ideas from the propaganda of the socialist Left?

We drank lots of hot chocolate and ate sugar ridden cereal before we went to school. After school we grabbed a peanut butter and jelly sandwitch and took to our bikes looking for the nearest baseball or football game. Anyone stopping their car and asking, “Hey kid, want some candy?” would be met with a rock in the teeth. Whether swinging on a rope or climbing trees, we played until our moms called us home for dinner.

We gulped our dinners down so that there was more time to play before dark. We always got plenty of sleep because bedtime was at 9:00 o'clock.

Today's kids don't play outside. They are worried about the boogieman who stops their car and asks, “Hey kid, want some candy?” Today's kids wouldn't know what it means to throw a rock—with accuracy (we even made up our own slings!). Today's kids sit in their fortresses with artificial entertainment and snacks to take away the boredom. And many stay up way past 9:00 o'clock. That is a recipe for weight gain. However, it is a symptom of a society that has taken the kid out of the outdoors. It is a symptom of a society that wants too much control and the kid is an easy mark because they can be manipulated by fears of boogiemen.

Berkeley, huh....OK so you’re saying that the city of kids who took over the campus and view dropping acid as some kind of RIGHT are now all grown up, and now deny their kids CANDY.

RIGHT?

San Fran: No candy, but all the sodomy, drugs, martinis, and prostitutes you want.

Yaser Musid agreed to sell only granola. Ya, right. Anyone hear of taqiyya? Someone should do a little investigative reporting, go undercover as a kid, and see how much candy this nice man will sell you.

So, they’ll get it somewhere else or they’ll get it and eat it before school. So what???????????????
