We are all REALLY FED-UP with the Feds - Feds' Plot to Stop Small-Town Cookies Backfires Into International Demand

Feds, put this in your Cookie Hole and Chew it! Same to you Michelle O., dim-witted busy-body! m/r

Feds' Plot to Stop Small-Town Cookies Backfires Into International Demand - Hit & Run : Reason.com

|
Apparently, the Elyria, Ohio, school district made a darn good cookie. So good, these pink-frosted confections were declared Cleveland's "Best Cafeteria Cookie" a few years ago. This back-to-school season, though, federal food police decided to put an end to the award-winning treat. Now, the plan to keep people away from their sweets seems to have backfired: People from around the U.S. (and even Canada!) are demanding the cookie.
The bad news, which The Chronicle-Telegrambroke last week:
[A federal] edict calling for school districts to provide more fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains to students along with fewer calories, fat and cholesterol has resulted in the loss of the pink cookie.
"We can't have them in the cafeteria for sale, period," said Scott Teaman, food services director with Sodexo Inc., the district's contracted food provider. "The guidelines for snacks are very strict, and there is no wiggle room."
It's not surprising the pink cookie does not meet the revamped food guidelines. Much about it hasn't changed in nearly four decades — that's how long the pink cookie was on the menu.


A local ABC affiliate explains that "the cookie, which contains real butter, exceeded the number of calories allowed per a la carte item, according to the National School Lunch Program."
