trymahjong Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I'm visiting in NYC and noticed the OP-ART in the Sunday Section of the New York Times deals with the "recently announced ban on most bakes sales in New York City schools" by having "Bake Sale Memory" written by various people--all were charming--I'm not sure if Bake sale bans are anywhere on HISD agenda but still I was wondering--------What is your best Bake Sale Memory?

All it takes is one 'special brownie' to trigger a lawsuit against a sponsoring school district. Additionally, there's an ambiguous tax liability and plenty of room for employee fraud.

mkultra25 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Doesn't surprise me. All it takes is one 'special brownie' to trigger a lawsuit against a sponsoring school district. Additionally, there's an ambiguous tax liability and plenty of room for employee fraud.The main driver behind the ban is an attempt to further limit students' sugar and fat intake - the NYT article I read about it stated that 40% of the city's elementary & middle school students were either overweight or obese. The new policy will also impose controls on what's being sold out of vending machines at the schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean real koolaid with the real sweet stuff in it and everything else. The difference is our parents told us to go outside and stay there until dinner. Kids these days are lazy asses with video games and internet, they wouldn't know what to do if left outside for a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was excited to see all the other decorated cakes and enthusiastic about the ones he wanted to bid on. The auction started and we were surprised that his cake went up for auction first and got a fairly high price BUT what surprised us next was the fact that the family of ANY cake that was being auctioned bid big bucks to take home their own cake-- no matter what our family bid on the cakes we were outbid-- our little tiger cub was the only one to leave with out a cake.
