Yes, that common sense solution was suggested earlier in the thread. Wonder why the school didn't think of that?

Eh, whatever. My kids' high school has stopped selling a very popular chocolate chip cookie to comply with the federal lunch program, too. They got over it. Even my daughter, who bought one nearly every day, agreed that the cookies were extremely unhealthy and probably should never have been an option in the first place.

the problem that I have, is that should never have been up to the feds to decide that, it should have been left to the parents or the school board to decide.

Sorry. There's lots of stuff I can summon outrage for, but this isn't one of them. The PTO or a school club might want to adopt the recipe for the occasional bake sale fund raiser. Now that the cookie is "forbidden" it will probably make them a mint.

They aren't extremely unhealthy and you should be ashamed of yourself if you are portraying them that way.

Ashamed that I view chocolate chip cookies as extremely unhealthy? Are you kidding me? Hardly. You and I will have to agree to disagree about this.
