Quote: "The standards, which dictate how much fat and sugar food sold on school grounds can contain, do extend to snacks sold as fundraisers."

Well then, I guess Mooch DOES want to ban your bake sale.

Nice try, WaPo.

Guess we should follow your consistently inane logic and blame W, eh?

She has no office, she has no power, she has no authority

Isn’t pretending to be a government official a crime?

While we can all debate how many cupcakes we should eat, it is a huge step to say the federal government will regulate your local school bake sale.

Things like this could be huge campaign issues for the GOP. Democrats are in favor of micro managing our lives, while true conservatives are in favor of personal responsibility and personal freedoms. In this case, conservatives would take the position that your local school officials and PTA will decide what products to sell at their bake sales.

Sounds like common sense to me. But let’s get out there and make the case for conservative principles as they apply to situations such as this.

” New rules requiring healthier foods in public schools took effect July 1 as a result of the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act passed in 2010. They set nutrition standards for all food and drink sold during the school day, including “competitive foods” — government language for vending machine snacks and bake-sale goodies.

The standards, which dictate how much fat and sugar food sold on school grounds can contain, do extend to snacks sold as fundraisers. “

yes, you can do a bake sale, but with spinach tofu cassarole and Sugar free carboard muffins made with 30% post consumer content....

If I ran a school I would have a high fat/sugar bake sale every damned single month to replace all federal funding just to spite her meddling arse...

IIRC BOTH the House, and the Senate belonged to the Democrats in 2010 when the legislation was passed for this constitutionally questionable law, as well the First Wookie along with her husband the play acting President initiated the support for the bill.

How in the ‘H’ can this author possibly write such BS?....nevermind, she’s a Democrat. THEY can say anything they want to.

Uh, sounds to ME like the Obama Fascists DO want to control our food.

This is not a function of the federal government.

Shove it Michelle.

If the schools were teaching students about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers the way that the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood, the students themselves would probably be able to point out the following about the federal government's constitutionally indefensible rules about food and food sales.

Regardless what FDR's activist justices wanted everbody to think about the scope of Congress's Commerce Clause powers in Wickard v. Filburn, a previous generation of Constitution-respecting justices had clarified that the states have never delegated to Congress, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate commerce.

”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

As a side note concerning the federal government's constitutionally limited powers, please consider the following. The states would sure be a dull, boring place to grow up and live in if parents were to make sure that their children were taught about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood. /sarc

Thomas Jefferson had put it this way:

“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)

In fact, forget about traditional salesman / sucker cliches like "buying the Brooklyn Bridge." Voters now have to deal with the problem that they have foolishly traded their votes for constitutionally nonexistent rights, federal spending programs and restrictive federal regulations which are likewise based on constitutionally nonexistant federal government powers.

My kids school is basically turning a blind eye to the new rules. They told our boosters that, "We can no longer officially approve bake sale fundraisers..." ...but... "we also don't intend to take any action to stop them, we just can no longer officially approve them". So it's essentially been business as usual during activities, the only difference being if the school gets any heat over it they are going to play blind, deaf, and dumb. "A bake sale? What bake sale? We didn't approve any bake sale?"

I'm guess my school is far from the only one...
