My wife has run bake sales for years and all of a sudden was told not to do it this year because Michelle wanted it stopped. Darn that woman. And she never was elected to any elective office either.

When and where I grew up a glass of coke at a restaurant was 200 ml or 6.7 oz.

When we wanted more we *gasp*...ordered more.

This is the same, if the portion size is smaller, no one keeps you from ordering 2. But in the grand scheme of things it will help a lot, especially children.

Default Food Police Coming To A Restaurant Near You

My bet is that folks who want big servings of fatty stuff will find plenty of places to get it w/o having to go underground.

Nothing in your link says that the bill actually sets limits on food sold at school bake sales. Further, the link states that the limits are left up to the agency to decide, and would only be imposed for what the article describes as frequent bake sales. THIRD, nothing in your link quotes from the bill! That's a sign of poor journalism right there; all we have are reaction quotes, but nothing from the text of the bill itself!

Did you see Stossel on O'Reilly? He said she would do better to convince her husband to go across the street to the agriculture department and stop supporting the bad things that are put in our food. Stop subsidizing it. It's all a bunch of craziness.

And I assume the restaurant will be charging less for the new standard smaller size, right? LOL! That will be the day!
