I truly don't believe any child will make a decision on what to buy at a
bake sale based on "nutritional values" rather than taste.
This silly rule ignores that homemade foods should set the standard for
flavor and costs are usually less than packaged goods.
Perhaps if kids weren't showered with sweets on such a daily basis, the
occasional sweet treat would be more special and less a problem.
