Limiting the bake sale

Yes, you read that right. The most well known way of school fundraising may soon dry up, as a child nutrition bill that has made it to the president would give our government the ability to limit the number of bake sales. Because everyone knows that's a significant factor in obesity. Not really, but that's what some people seem to think. Never mind healthy food, never mind advocating for having kids outside, get rid of the evil bake sale! And the language is so unclear that, in theory, bake sales could be banned. Thankfully, that's not going to be done. While the bill does have good things, such as providing more healthy meals for students, including dinner, this fundraiser thing is just ridiculous.
