In an effort to make food in schools healthier, some school districts have actually banned cupcakes at school birthday celebrations.

All I know is if it tastes good then "GET..IN..MY..BELLY" lol
You remember my Hostess cupcake obsession during my pregnancy?? MMM... haven't had one of those in a while.
You are reacting as though this cupcake ban would extend beyond school and prevent kids from having cupcakes ever. This ban has no effect on what parents can give kids at home or at the parties they throw. Sweets have not been taken away. They've merely been moved to outside school birthday parties.
Our school banned all party food because they got sick of being the food police. With all the allergies that so many kids have these days it was just getting to be a hassle and a half trying to ensure that no allergens were present in anything brought in. This doesn't mean kids can't have cupcakes at parties. It means the parties where they eat cypcakes will be held somewhere other than school.
"My only point was I think banning children or schools from having things is not the ANSWER. It is asking the corporations to be more responisble. To giving us an ability to not spend 4 hours in the grocery store to find the least chemically altered food LOL."
You can ask them all you want. They don't have to, they only care about what they can sell and how much profit they can make. Now making laws they have to follow might work. But then again they can just manufacture the same thing in China and put the illegal stuff in it. : (
