School children in Elyria, Ohio are mourning the demise of a 40-year tradition – the loss of their beloved pink cookie. The fabled cookie, long served in local school cafeterias, was done in by a pound of butter, six cups of powdered sugar and the Obama administration’s food police.
“It no longer meets the national school lunch program guidelines for snacks,” said Amy Higgins, the spokesperson for Elyria City Schools. “It has too many calories.”

What i don't understand is the government saying too many calories are bad and restrict them but out of the other side of their mouth they are willing to feed poisons to children

Either they should remove all sugar products and animal products from schools, or teach classes on what those substances do to the human body. Sugar is a highly addictive substance (I'm a total addict, which I why I don't eat it), and to sell or give it to young children has a ring of ignorance and/or/if non-caring about it (but that's ok, everyone does it).

Or maybe...original idea...let their PARENTS DECIDE?

I was just telling my 15 year old daughter about this and she commented that at her school, they began replacing some food with vegetables and wheat pasta that (obviously) our taxes pay for. She claims most of the kids dump it in the trash and don't eat it. So...there goes more of my money into the trash can.

Are you surprised? I remember that junk they used to classify as food and feed us. Now they switch to "healthy" and we all know most of that is notoriously bad tasting. i could imagine what a healthy classed school lunch would taste like

Reading the recipe along could result in a sugar rush: butter, sour cream, powered sugar, Crisco,granulated sugar.
